If you're interested in getting him a store bought gift, try keepin' it simple. Spring for some posters, a leather jacket, nice cologne, a gift card, a nintendo system, or some DVD's.
Or, if he drives... definitely go for a *GAS CARD*. Those are pricey, but you also never mentioned your age and price range.
You could always take him to a fancy dinner. Another option... you could MAKE him dinner!! If you're up to the challenge, you could try stuffed chicken breasts with potatoes of some sort with a fresh garden salad and sundaes for dessert!
Ooooh, or LASAGNA!!
And if you wanna get creative, how 'bout you just go to the park?? Bring a blanket and some music! And pack a picnic lunch, which doesn't have to be difficult. It can consist of turkey sandwiches on slice bread, grapes, watermelon, pretzels, twinkies etc. And make shore you bring a crap load of bread to feed the duckies!!
Another possible suggestion... you could always make him a poster or a photo album. You could deck it out with markers, photographs, quotes and so on.
How about making him some sort of little quilt with protective clear pockets that you can insert pictures into, and take them out to wash easily!
Just in case you were interested in preparing a meal for him, here is a page of a BUNCH of QUICK and EASY meals which can ALL be prepared in 30 minutes or LESS guaranteed!!!
*Honestly though, it's important to remember that it's the thought that counts with these things. Exspense doesn't measure love, so whatever you do I'm shore he'll be extremely appreciative!! Just be creative and have fun!! :D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]

lulabelle answered Sunday October 30 2005, 12:28 am: Does he play a sport? If so, does he need anything? Does he like going to the movies? You could buy him a gift certificate there. Does he like music? You could get him a gift certificate at a record store. He could pick out his own CDs. Does he like clothes? Again with the certificate especially if you don't feel comfortable picking something out for him. What is his favorite foods/restaurant? Certificate. Also, listen to his conversation. People are always saying I wish I had this or I wish I had that. If any of that falls within your price range just go and buy it for him. For Christmas you could do a stocking for him by going to the cosmetic counters and get some men’s cologne samples then the dollar store and round up a lot of fun things to fill up a stocking. Don’t forget to include a card with anything you decide to do.
I hope this helped you to get your creative juices going.
