You could have a custom belt/uniform made for them. Order one on the internet from Japan and have his/her name embroidered in Japanese :)

It depends on how much you want to spend. Maybe a Stereo for his car, or a necklace, or a shirt, or a CD, or just a nice card with a gift card from his favorite store.

I would say something related to religion. As someone suggested, maybe a nice cross necklace or a prayer book. Maybe a set of small angel statues (something like that), a nice rosary bracelet, something to do with angels (frames with inspiring messages, keychains, etc.). Hallmark might have something, if you prefer giving traditional gifts like that. I hope this helps.

Well, being a creative/visual kinda guy I would recommend a membership to a local museum!  Or depending on his medium, (computer graphics vs. paints and clays etc) get him a gift card to a software store or art supply store.  Movies and games are great, but you can never be sure what they have, and what they will be receiving from others.  This way he can go and choose it himself.\n\nHope This Helps,\nAmy

It depends on your budget, if you're budget is high, a PS3 or an iPod.  If it's low, get an inexpensive digital camera or a PS2 game or X Box game if he's got that.  You know that testosterone stuff or a home starter weight set you can buy from sears.

a gift basket of cheeses and sausages would be nice. or even better instead of trying to think of something, just stop by a nice resturant (not so expensive) such as applebees, logans, etc and get a gift card

A nice hunting knife (small one to carry all the time) would be a great gift.  Or a subscription to a favorite magazine.

I wouldn't spend more than $50.00 dollars. Some traditional gift ideas are money clips, cuff links, a pocket watch, and etc. You can also give him a gift card to his favorite store or restaurant.

Take the time, do the research. Find out what he has right now, and what size.  Your sister would probably be happy to rifle through his gear and find out.  Or see if she knows what kind he wants.\n\nThen go to a pro shop or store that he can also get to (for returns), and ask them if there's a similar or improved elbow pad to the ones he has, and get those.  Get a gift receipt.\n\nYou could just get a certificate, but this way you took the extra effort to find out what he needs and wants, and I bet he'd appreciate that.  Elbow pads aren't a super critical piece of gear.  They need to fit, they need to be decent.  It's not rocket science, like gloves.

Get him some cool rugged jewelry like this http://www.giftweblog.com/2006/11/02/rugged/

A CD, t-shirt, movie, a gift certificate...... anything really  . If he is a good friend he won't care what you buy him he will love whatever you pick.

The new thing seems to be personalised items, and its low cost and comes from the heart, give them calandars, mugs, baseballs, cutting boards all with your photos in/on it.  For your hubby, if he has it all then you should topo, imagine the hard time hes going to have:) Think of something that represnts who you are a new kitchen set is nice, but an engraved gift, or photo gift is personal, I would hope they would enjoy the time you put into it.  look into snapfish.com  www.winkflash.com  or www.walmart.com (click under photo)

Well, you have another month to go so I wouldn't shop too early!  But I think the gift should depend on how committed you are or if you see this as a long term relationship.  What does she like to do?  Does she read?  If so find out what type of books.  If you know what kind of perfume she wears that would be nice.  Maybe a certificate for a spa day.

I would say something for the school would be good. Something decorative, like a small statue or a poster that would go with the school decorations. Either that, or if you know there's something he needs, that's okay. If you know something about his extra-martial arts life, you could get him something for that. But if you try to get him something Martial Arts related just for him, he's either already going to have it or he's not going to need it. All in all, I don't know that I like the idea though. As a Martial Arts teacher myself, I like to give out gift certificates to my students to give away as presents, but I don't expect presents from them, and I don't have a Christmas party for exactly that reason.

How about a nice shirt? or a tool? does he fix things around there? or a gift card to Cold Stone? ice cream? or a good book, there's a new John Grisham novel out, oh, i want to read that. Or a magazine sub. to the coffee place?  yea, hope that helps. :)

Get her something she can use for the next four years: a purse, a bag, maybe one of those cute cartooned huggable pillows (I got that for my friend, and she loved it). A word of caution: avoid clothes. That's the hardest gift to shop for (expensive and also only for the advanced... =p)
