Some kind of cactus, succulent, or another low-maintenance plant.

Cactus or a succulent would work. Make him a terrarium? Buy a cute pot or glass jar from a dollar store. Transfer the plant into that so it looks much nicer than the plastic pots most plants come with. Which area of Burnaby?

Succulents (Remember to get an indoor variety)

Terrariums

My suggestion would be to go to Garden Works and talk to one of the employees there. They have 2 locations in burnaby, one in South Burnaby (Nelson and Marine Way) or they have one just off Lougheed Hwy 2 blocks east of Holdom skytrain station.

Also try looking through those and see if anything strikes his fancy. Indoor shade plants are good because they don't need a lot of attention (stay away from the orchids imo) and don't require a lot of sunlight. Plus they look neat. Oh also, I would probably stay away from any sort of ivy. They like to grow and take over areas, so unless he wants his desk/mantle covered in ivy, you should probably look at other types of plants.

One more thing, what sort of conditions does his apartment have? Directional facing, hot/muggy or heat almost always off, etc

If he's like me and doesn't have a green thumb (I recently killed my Jasmine and African Violets, kind of forgot they were there... surprisingly my aloe is still alive...) try some of these plants http://houseplants.about.com/od/pick...testPlants.htm Not being able to kill a mother in law's tongue plant is a lie btw, I killed mine.

looking for a wedge bulb socket specifically with a rubber weather seal on it.
bulb is a #168 but T10/W5W/194/T15 should be the same.

I'm in the Lougheed area, so Garden Works by Holdom seems like a good bet. i was thinking even small flower shops might have something. I got him a terrarium already, but it's a tiny little plant. I think he's looking for something more substantial but not so big that it'll take over his room.

His apartment doesn't face the sun and pretty moderate temperature, a bit more to the warm side because there's a lot of construction going on near his place so he tries to shut the windows.

Really great tips, thank you for all your help.

Bamboo. You can get them in all sizes and they're virtually maintenance free.

phone up Mopac and see if they can do better......


You know Revscene has a Lordco account for its members, right?

You just mention Revscene account and you get a bit of a discount. Not much, but better than nothing.

I receve a deep discount through my old workplace at Lordco, but not gonna give it out - don't want to lose it, LOL. Abuse it and lose it, is what they say. You can always ask a friend who has better account at Lordco to get you stuff.

^Custom Truck does price match/beat or maybe even Western Warehouse?

i'm not much help here but if you've seen any fabric stores around (like a fabricland) they sell loads of zippers and if you see any shop that does alterations (even the ones in malls) they carry a small selection of zippers as well

I'll need the pic by 10 am Sunday.
