Hi, I remember answering you before. Its good you're doing separate gifts. As to what to get him, you know him better and I don't know him at all. So I can only try to get you started on thinking about it. So is he a reader, does he love to read? Get him a book. Does he have a favorite type of music or band, maybe a new album just out so get a CD. Is he more into tinkering, like fixing things, doing projects around the house, then a nice compact tool kit, just ask at a hardware store for a tool that does many different things. These are usually advertised on TV for Christmas although I don't have a TV so I couldn't say.Is he into toys geared more for adults or older kids like radio controlled toys or does he put together model kits of cars, planes or such. I just sent off a Christmas package early with a gift for son in law of a hover ball, a bit complicated for little kids but fun for older kids and adults and it works like a boomerang but has to be charged on a USB connection to work. Maybe he is into clothes and fashion? Then if you know what colors he likes, a nice shirt, or maybe a mens necklace, short like choker style. These are the kinds of things to think about getting. A great help for next year is watching and listening carefully and making notes of what he spent lots of time looking at, had interest in but didn't buy cus probably it felt like a non neccessity if money is the reason. I have come up with great gifts that way. For example, while in HI visiting daughter this summer, she looked often at a certain dress. Then she asked which color I thought she liked, I pointed and was right. She couldn't afford it, so later I got it for her and thats her Christmas gift. It shouldn't matter which item is for Birthday and which for Christmas. If he has a favorite place to got eat or a favorite type of food like Italian or Mexican, get a gift certificate for a restaurant or better, take him out a couple days before Christmas to his favorite food and give a smaller gift. Hopes this helps you think of something. ]
