A better wallet, headphones, a backpack or a mug for the coffee he drinks every morning. Watch for the thing he keeps complaining about.
An experience with you

A gamer gift card or subscription

Coordinate a dinner, a game night or a trip with his friends. The organising is the gift.

A custom T-shirt, mug or print with a phrase only the two of you understand.
