And then there's the best sunscreen I've tried, Sun-Dab by Gardenworks. I can't stand the stink of most sunscreens, but got a sample of this at the Seattle GWAA, and loved it. I've let lots of people try mine at garden lectures and it's gotten raves.
 
How about a gift certificate and catalog to SSE or Tomato Grower Supply, and/or a light stand to start their own seeds?
