Oh great Mecha, holder of quirky goodness, help me find the perfect birthday gift for a friend in the USA!
→[More:]
A close friend turns 31 this week. Here's the scoop:

1. Person is in question is a really funky, creative, fun loving woman web developer who appreciates cubicle goodies, art, cool books, objects, etc.. She has a long geek appreciation streak. Also is a Florida native which accentuates weirdness.

2. I need to be able to order online with overnight delivery for Wednesday delivery.

Any ideas?

oops, mods can you stuff the more inside text back inside? LOL, I forgot to make a comment out of it. Oh well it's Monday.

As far as cube toys go... I'm currently lusting after these Executive Sandboxes. (Esp. the Space Patrol or Mermaid & Friends)

I presume you've already checked out Archie McPhee and Thinkgeek.com?

I went through thinkgeek and Archie McPhee, nothing stuck out....Besides I sent her a Timmy the monkey t-shirt a while back!

The Executive sandboxes look cool.

I think these look like fun... Of course, I sent my friend Syphillis for her birthday, your sense of humor may differ.

I have another friend that has green army men and dinosaurs in her office - they line them along the tops of the cubes and use rubber bands to knock them into each others cubes.

How about an origami book w/ supplies?

How about a Buddy Christ?

Omg, I am ordering the Buddy Christ for myself! That is fantastic!

OMG, thank you Blackkar! Think Geek has now been added to my favorites!

How about a little office voodoo?

Or maybe a deskfish?

OMG! DarthTater! with SpudTrooper!

Does she have a laptop?

I love this - let me know if any of these are close to what you have in mind and I'll keep thinking of stuff.
