As an artist, I always lean towards recommending a one-of-a-kind small piece of practical artwork, or an original piece that you know he would like. I have seen some beautiful handmade moneyclips, inlaid knives, carved wooden or stone pens, etc. Or a small sculpture for his office, a framed painting or photo of a subject he likes. An object like that is likely to be treasured for what it is, and for the fact it came from you.\n\nAnother great idea is an antique reference book, or antique print. I live in Hudson, NY, 2 hours north. The other day I saw some great prints for sale here in town, from artists who first came to America and documented the landscape. These sketches, watercolors, etc. woudl make great gifts! I also saw framed maps of early NYC settlements, historical photos, etc.

Try Yahoo-Shopping's Gift Finder (1st link under "Sources" below). You work your way through a few menus by selecting choices (his age, gender and so on) and, at the end, it gives you suggestions. For example, I took the information you gave, guessed at his age (18) and "life style" ("fitness fanatic") and got suggestions. To see them, click on the 2nd link below under "Sources"\n\n\n\nGood luck!

you should make something handmade. like you can make a scrapbook of him over the years, if he's going to college or not. or you can make like little anklets for each of you so it'll be special for him

Get him a gift card to bestbuy, they have lots of technology related things, and with a gift card, he can get exactly what he wants.

If your short on money make homemade gift certificates for free car wash ( yes this means you will have to do it) or vol. to clean out the garage ..If money is not an issue then buy car wash tokens and give to him. Take him to dinner - guys like steak n beer or beer n pizza..lol. Treat him to a ball game of his choice..home Depo or Sears gift card is good also.., A mag. subcribtion to hot rod or someother car mag-even if he is already gettin it pay for another 6 mo - yr.'s worth of mags.

A funny Christmas card and a gift card for strabucks, or some local cofee shop. nothing to personal but appropriate. I think this combo works well.  You could always switch the gift card with a place you know he likes, but coffee is usually a winner

cologne. \n\nyou can visit the akademiks.com website and check out the style of clothes they have and just buy similarly styled stuff at local department stores if you can't find an akademiks store near where you live.\n\nyou can also get him a book, for example, "organizing from the inside out" by julie morgenstern (one of my favorite books).\n\nthe dvd boxed-set of "the godfather 1, 2 and 3" (all men love this movie).\n\nmake personalized coupons like "one free back rub from me" or "one hug with no questions asked" or "one load of laundry - done" and put them in a box and give it to him.

I think most medical students would have all the equipment they need by now (i.e stethoscope, coat etc).\n\nHow about something they can use on the job that will remind them of you when they are pulling double shifts etc!\n\nMaybe a nice fountain tip pen, or an original silk tie, a watch. Something sentimental.. get it engraved for something a bit more special.

Donate the money in his name to his favorite charity. Thats for the man who has everything! (You gave him a tax deduction). You could save some for a bottle of his favorite wine or champagne to present it to him as you tell him what you all did for him.

Perhaps you could give him a usb drive (thumb drive) so he can save his class notes on any available computer and always have them available, without toting a lot of extra weight.  Many are on sale now from $20.00 (256 MB) and up.

Nothing means more to a child of ANY age than your time and undivided attention. Find something you can do that he enjoys that you can share with him. SPEND TIME with him! If you are set on getting him an actual gift with monetary value, then how about a new 'smart phone'? He could use the internet function for school, plus text and call his friends.

Money is always a good gift.  Every graduate needs money and then if they want to splurge they can get what they want and like.

Get him a once-in-a-lifetime experience that reflects his personal hobbies or interests.  For example, if he's into hockey, buy him tickets to a home game of his favorite team.  Or if he likes fancy cars, go to www.exoticcarrental.com and see if you can get him a gift certificate for a one-day rental of a Ferrari.  For my boyfriend's birthday last year, I knew he'd always dreamed of owning a sailboat, and I certainly couldn't afford that, but I could afford to get him 3 introductory sailing lessons at a local sailing school, so I did and he was THRILLED!!!!
