What do you get the guy who has everything...except electricity?

[Sir Stewart]

My friend lives in Houston with his wife and daughter. We don't talk much in general but have been in touch a bit since Hurricane Ike.

His electricity is still out, but they have one small generator in their home. Otherwise, the neighborhood is still a mess - luckily their home was spared, but other houses around them had trees drop onto them.

Their daughter is 4 - I can't imagine how she's dealing with it.

I'd feel strange sending a few bucks to him, but I can't think of anything else.

Can you think of anything in the $50 range that could help them out?

Thanks.

any kind of care package with non-perishable food and creature comforts are always nice.

do you like to bust each other's balls? an extension cord, for sure, then.

Thanks mostly everybody! Good ideas.
