It wouldn't be offensive, but why not get him something useful to him? Something he can show his parents should they ask what his girlfriend got him for his birthday, ya know?

His parents may be different, but the first thing I would think is, why do you need a lighter? I agree
they are useful for things other than smoking, but parents don't always think rationally when it comes to their teens in this world.

Does he use or carry around the other lighter you got him?

My opinion doesn't matter. You know him best! Just
giving you a different prospective. :)

What if he's straight edge then why is he mad that you and him don't smoke enough? It's like a gag gift then? Either way it shouldn't be offensive.
