Fish.
My best friend is a 16 year old guy. Honestly, he's not like most guys, not into sports except skateboarding. I've run out of ideas for his Christmas gift. I decided on a fish from petco with the tank and everything (small). Do you think he'll like it at all?

i'm not so sure if he'd like the fish. it's deff. a cute idea and you have good intentions and everything, but do you think he'd take care of it well?
i think you should get him a card, and maybe a gift certificate and then bake him some holiday cookies or something. it's the thought that counts =] and plus cookies are goood lol.
you could also think of any inside jokes that you two have had and buy him something that relates to the joke.
hope i helped =]

Do you think he likes fish? And if you run out of ideas either make him something special to show how much you like him as a friend or just talk to him about what he likes and wants without telling him that you are getting something for him. It would be nice for it to be a suprise right?

Hi there,
This is a really hard one. If you know he is really into fish, and has always wanted the exact kind you want to get him, then an aquarium and an exotic fish may be just the thing.
In any other circumstance, he may really resent you for it.
Why?
Fish are serious work. In order to maintain a proper pH balance, temperature, etc... requires a person to basically send themselves to "fish school" or risk dead fish.
If the fish die, he won't want to tell you, which may result in him not wanting to be around you so as to avoid you asking: "So, how are the fish?"
Somebody gave me a fish once. Worst present ever... period.
I know it seems like a cute idea, but it doesn't work out unless the person receiving the fish as a gift, REALLY likes fish.
If he is a hard-core skateboarder, a gift certificate, or something you THINK he really needs, from the local skate shop, would be a better choice. If you do get him something, be prepared to hand over the receipt so he can exchange it if it isn't what he needs.
Asking his parents what he has been on about all year is another good choice. They would probably like it if someone else bought one of the things they were going to buy him, so that they don't have to.
No matter what you do, this time next year you will be really glad you didn't buy him another job, err, cute little fishie. ;-)
Good luck,
DN.

Everyone likes a fish. but i mean think, would he be the type to actually take care of it? I'd settle for like a giftcard to Pac Sun, Journeys, or any store that sells skating stuff that way you know he'll like it.
