A gift for a Chicagoan Girl

TheMadHuntsman

OK, my girlfriend is absolutely in love with the Windy City, and I'm trying to think of a nice gift for her. She particularly likes the city skyline. Any ideas, PA readers?

I'm from Chicago and yes we do have the best skyline in the world.

Are you looking for a poster? Photo? Sculpture? Jewlery? Puzzle? Give me something to work with and I can recommend something good.

This seems like a safe bet, if she likes more than just the skyline.

That looks pretty good. edit: Yeah, he's one of the most famous urban photographers for Chicago.

This one is more text-dense, but new, so probably won't have it; Chicago: A Biography.

Tickets to a river cruise are always good, though I'm sure she's been on it, it's really different every time. That's the architecture tour, but there's lots more including a nice dining one.

Membership to the Architecture Foundation would be nice.

Holy cow, my ridiculous obsession with Etsy has a purpose!

See if anything there might strike her fancy!

It would depend a bit more on her tastes, but you could get her a LEGO Sears Tower

Too bad it's Willis Tower now.

I saw a Sears Tower snowglobe once, but I don't know where it was aquired, or even when. It's an idea though.
