Me vs. I: Jon and I went to the store. The present was for Jon and me. The second sentence sounds wrong, but it is grammatically correct. You wouldn't say "The present was for I." You would say, "The present was for me." Just because you added a second person to the prepositional clause you don't change the pronoun. (Hey, I'm just used my English degree for something! And I thought it was only useful )
