If you can manage it, share an event together.  Take him to a comic book convnetion or an arcade and give him fifty bucks to blow on anything he wants, no matter how stupid it might seem to you.  If he is handicapped, he probably desparately wants to do things "normal" people do.  Help him spend a day doing things he can't on his own.

A great book would be a wonderful gift! Even magazines and other reading material, I think he'd enjoy. Stuff that they can really use. Even stuff like batteries are great because there are limited places they can buy that stuff for their personal use.\nPs. If you have any further questions, you can email me, if you'd like.\n*Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention... also phone cards! That's always a great gift! Or a portable DVD player (if you want to spend that much money).

A $20 CD? No. We have illegal downloads for that. Take him to a sporting event or concert.\nEdit: You're Goth. That makes everything different. Hmm... Let's see... A knife would be good. And, no, I'm not implying that he kill himself. That's for him to decide.

Go online and buy what's called a Stinger.  You can get one that fits on a keychain.  It lines up your fingers...ets. in such a way that even anyone can pack a hell of a punch.  But be warned, using one can really hurt someone.  But some are less than $20 so couldn't hurt to get him one in case he needs it some day.

Residencies are notoriously hectic and draining. Whatever it is that your friend likes to do to kick back and relax, that's what you should get.\nA gift certificate to a spa is probably a great idea. Few people treat themselves to a pedicure or a massage, but would go if someone had already paid for it for them.\n\nOf course, you could get him/her a subscription to a popular psychiatry journal. It's something (s)he will need to get anyway, but may not have thought of yet.\n\nAnd flowers. Everyone loves to get flowers, and it's a nice way to give a gift certificate, gift card or subscription notice: tucked into a bright bouquet of flowers.

If the present is for a boy, you could try buying a video game for their system, or even a book that you enjoyed at that age.  For a girl, anything pertaining to beauty is good.  Things like a basket filled with bath salts and oils is good.  Or even the same as that for a boy.

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).

Big brothers and sisters know that their little brother and sisters don't have a lot of money. If he has an Ipod, you could get him an Itunes card. That way, even if its only 5 songs ($5) he will still enjoy it. If you have parents that will help, you could always ask what they got for him and you can get an accessory to it. If all else fails, make him a card. It may sound corny, but it will let him know how much you care.

You should consider what he doesn't have and get him that.\nBut really, anything from you comes from the heart and any dad would be happy to get a gift like that from thier son.\nHey, maybe a hunting trip together? That would be a great gift!

Hmm. It depends what your price range is. I don't know if there are certain gifts that are approprite in this situation, but if it were me I would arrange a weekend getaway. I'm sure he can use a nice relaxing break!

A nice watch, or if he is a tool buff like me find out what tool he wants/needs. Maybe a Carhartt Jackett or some work clothes for when he's building, or a new pair of workboots. I'm the same way I like pratcial gifts that I can use.

A home-cooked meal would be perfect!  Something he likes, it will seem special but won't make him feel empty-handed for not bringing his own gift.  Plus, if you tell him in advance he can always show up with something (like flowers or wine hopefully)!

There's lots you can do for this (i got a little brother of my own, so I'd know). Here are some ideas, take a pick:\n\nA football, model airplane kit, monopoly board game, Game Boy Advanced game card, pogo stick, the latest Harry Potter/Series of Unfortunate Events book, Yu-Gi-Oh Sticker book (or whatever japanese anime you can get your hand on), football trainers, t-shirt that says 'I rock!', any latest Disney DVD.............\n\nWish him happy birthday for me! :D

Go to ThinkGeek.com. You should find something there, that he doesn't own. It's a great site with a bunch of gadgets for dorks. Good luck!

Does he like sports? Video games? Hobbies? Just think about some things he likes and you should be able to figure out a perfect gift.
