My husband would love a custom painted chromed-up Harley but I'm looking for something in the $50-200 range.

That is one of the cutest honest expressions from a wife (and mother of three) that I have seen in a long time.
At least you know what his acceptable fantasy is. Most wives couldn't care less.

Sounds like he probably already feels blessed and it wouldn't take much to make him smile.
Personally, I would avoid clothes and accessories of any kind.

In my case, the most expensive gift I have ever expected recently was a new DVD player when my old one died.

Usually, I am pleased to receive less ambitious stuff like Flight Simulator, a Yoke and Pedals set for it (FS), books, a PDA, Noise cancelling earphones, A weather station, a set of portable battery-powered tools, Solid state USB memory for computers (1 gig is down to $60 now)...

In short, the traditional boy toys.
I regret not being able to help you with sports-related stuff, cuz I don't "do" the professional sports thing.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Publius. :)

We just came home from an acquaintance's home -- he was watching golf and had TIVO--my husband was impressed with the rewind feature. We have cable--is TIVO compatible? Is it available in a separate unit? How much?

I have some research to do!!
