Gift Idea's for an aspiring music talent?
915340
Hm....I had a neighbor once, who made a really neat present for his grandson who wanted to be a golfer. I think the idea will be just as good for a musician.\n\nTry getting a picture of that person, and put him/her on a big poster. You can go somewhere to get it printed, make it fancy...etc. I think I'm going to try that this year :P

Try Yahoo-Shopping's Gift Finder (1st link under "Sources" below). You work your way through a few menus by selecting choices (his age, gender and so on) and, at the end, it gives you suggestions. For example, I took the information you gave, guessed at his age (18) and "life style" ("fitness fanatic") and got suggestions. To see them, click on the 2nd link below under "Sources"\n\n\n\nGood luck!

An ipod is a great gift.. I love mine and I never really go anywhere without it..you will need to download itunes on your computer so she can get music for it. and since ipods have so many accessories they are always nice too.. the cases help protect the body and screen which is good and the ipod bose stereo docks are also very nice but are pretty costly. you could also pick her up an itunes giftcard(sold wherever ipods are sold) so she can get new music right away. \nI got my sister the new scene it dvd trivia game and its a lot of fun we have a few versions already and my whole family loves it.. also if she has a favorite tv show.. dvd box sets make great gifts.\nand digital cameras are definatley an awesome gift. you can even find them now on sale with included printer docks so you can just print the photos from your home at your own convenience.

It all depends on his personality.\n\nI would find out what kind of music he likes and get him an iPod and put the music on it.\n\nFind out what kind of stores he shops (clothes, games, electronics, etc.) at and get him a gift card with a limit that you can afford that way he can get what he wants and everyone is happy.\n\nAsk him what he would like so that would give you some idea.

Gift certificate sounds good or just give her money.  I also like the idea of buying her a cd of her fav artist or a nice outfit or shoes she might like.

If you've got the money, if you think he'll like it, and if you guys are friends, go ahead and give it to him...  I give my friends presents during the holidays- no big deal, right?\n\nIf you're concerned about it being too much, you could always buy him a CD or make him a mix CD or something if you know what type of music he likes.  That's a bit more casual than clothing, I guess (although mix CDs can be pretty personal)...\n\nOh, and after reading some of the above suggestions- planning an activity is always good.  It doesn't HAVE to be a date unless you want it to, just a celebration type thing.  Concerts are cool, but if you can't do that, just go to the movies or something.

circuit city or best buy gift card, if he's into electronics or music. or just a gift card for his favorite store. doesn't have to be too much. $25 or so should get him a good cd or halfway to a new video game.

You should get her something that will let her know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you were thinking of her and that you enjoy her friendship.  Those are the best gifts.  Sometimes they cost a little more, other times they don't cost much money at all.  They always require thought, however.  What are some things the two of you have in common or do together or both enjoy?  Can you get a subscription to (or one issue of) a magazine on a subject or topic that she likes?  Can you make anything for her?  That would be only from you, and would be pleasantly unique.    What do you do that she likes?  What does she do that you like?  Would she appreciate an IOU for your doing a chore she hates?  Keep thinking and you'll come up with a good gift.

Sports items, music is always great so CD's are nice ,a nice gold or silver chain (depending on there taste) Depending on your price range a leather jacket would be great or maybe some tools.

I think the cutest thing you can get her is something handmade and creative. Make a mix cd where you put songs that remind you of her on it, or make a video diary and just ramble and walk around your town, showing your favorite places as a couple and reminding her of fun times. You could also do a collage with your inside jokes, things she likes, etc using magazine pictures. try your best and  I guarantee she'll love it.

Music.  It never fails.  The best thing would be a cd that he would really like and then a 20 or 50 dollar gift certificate from circuit city or something similar.   And remember, guys ALWAYS love home-cooked chocolate cookies and girls just don't do it any more....Bake him a plate of cookies and he'll love you forever.  Good Luck.

Make him a guy gift basket . He will love it trust me. Find out what music he listens to and burn him a cd with all of his favorite artists and make it out from me to you. Get him some boxers from the dollar store and throw in some male cologne from Dillards that cost about $12.00. Pick out something that you would like and he will love it because it came from the heart and you put a little of you and time in making this basket but alot of his favorites for him. Put alot of tissue paper in the basket and even a few pieces of his favorite candy. I can tell you now this gift basket will cost you no more than $20.00 if you know how to shop. Good Luck

You can make a "gift certificate book." Each certificate could be something different like, "A Free Massage," "Home Made Dinner of his choice," "Breakfast in Bed," etc.\n\nOr if you've been with him for a while, you can make him a scrapbook with photos, magazine cut outs, inside jokes, movie/concert ticket stubs, etc... \n\nBe creative :)

Get him a movie he likes and wrap it in red paper plus one of those heart candy boxes (bfs eat candy) and a card.  Depends on how much money you have.  A red or maroon or dark sweater or tee shirt would be good if he wears that color.  Maybe even some concert tickets for his favorite band, depending on how much you want to spend.  Or do like I did and make up a basket of stuff (could be a lot of low cost or high cost stuff)  and wrap it in red cellophane (any party store or big drug store has the red cellophane now).
