My girlfriend loves statistics, so I was thinking about getting her some kind of stat-related gift. I really don't have anything specific in mind yet though. A preliminary internet search hasn't pulled up much so far. Mostly just coffee mugs and t-shirts, neither of which are close to what I'm looking for.
