Need a gift for a stranger
Advertisements [?]
There's a nice old guy (80+) who hangs out at my train station. He drives up every day to get a free newspaper, then hangs out and watches people get on and off the trains.

Well, one night he was at a Dem Committee meeting, and I got to talking to him about the history of the area, and he turned out to be a really interesting guy. After that, we waved and chatted. This summer, he brought me some fresh tomatoes from his garden, and this morning, he had a little pack of pizelles that he had baked himself!

I don't know his last name and don't know his address, but I would LOVE to give him a little something for Christmas. The obvious solution is baked goods, but I don't bake (my oven is broken and is used for storing cat food). The only craft I do is jewelry, and I doesn't seem the earring type.

Any other ideas?
