The quest for impossible xmas gifts

I'm sure that some of you can relate to trying to locate the ideal gift for someone, or something from their wishlist, and coming up empty. Either it's a rare item, or in some cases, it simply does not exist. I consider myself pretty resourceful, but I'm coming up empty handed on a couple of things, and am hoping that somebody out there has seen what I am looking for.

1- A digital clock that displays in Roman numerals. The only one I've found so far is at http://www.sonic.net/chronart/romdig.html but I'd like to know if any others exist, perhaps without the mahogany case.

2- The same annoying person wants a digital wall calendar that he can keep on the fridge, but can synch with Outlook on his pc, either manually or via wireless. Sounds like a good idea, but I cannot find evidence that one exists, other than using a palm pilot.

Does anybody out there have ideas or suggestions?
