Gift around $200

Hello,

what birthday gift for a person who's really into IT, games and generally new technologies? He doesn't want any console, as he has those which he consider worthy of having. He has modernised his PC recently and also got a new notebook, so I wouldn't relate the present with PC components. Then, I'm a little bit confused - what should I buy? Let's say that I want to spend not more than $200 (OK, if it really kicks ass, I can spend a little more :)). What would you suggest?

He plays football and volleyball recreationally with friends few times every week, so you shouldn't bother about balance between computer and real life in his case ;) Moreover, I think he would prefer something technology-related over some sports gear (he has even bought himself new shoes, ball and shirt lately, so I don't think he needs it).

maybe some awesome speakers or headphones? cos really really good headphones/speakers are so SO worth the money. obviously theres a point where the price/performance ratio gets too expensive for too little difference, but id say anything up to 200 by a good company would be well worth it. just a suggestion:)

is he nerdly? if he is i highly suggest:

Who the hell spends $200 on a birthday gift..

Ahaha, yep, you got me :) I'm talking about myself, but in some places writing as if you were talking about someone else lets you get more replies (believe me). I knew it would eventually come out (I planned to write about it at the end of the discussion), but didn't know it'd happen so soon :D So: I should select a gift for the stated above price for me as my family told me to seek for a present so that they could know what exactly do I want :)Tigro_PL

It was not that hard for me to figure outrawsavon

I suppose so as knowing all these things about a buddy (when did he buy shirt, ball, what does he think about every thing he has etc.) would be at least suspicious :D

OK, back to the topic. I'm thinking and thinking and have no idea.. Oh - please do not suggest things from, let's say, American Internet stores, as I live in Europe and it wouldn't be possible for the present to arrive in time.

Just give him $200 and he can do whatever he want's with it.

I don't want a netbook, I don't need it because my notebook does the job very well and I don't need anything smaller. I was thinking over the kindle and it seems to be interesting. The question is: will I be using it? I don't think I would manage enough free time to read many books on it. But i will consider it, thanks man.

It's still an odd present! Was it a surprise gift? I wonder how you gave the person it out of curiosity!

Clothes, whatever games you're looking forward to and saving it. If you need to ask random people on a forum what you want, you're better off saving your money for a time when you need it. :)

I'm not asking "What I want", but "What interesting thing may I want to have and haven't heard of yet" :) Recently I've bought a few games, so currently there is no need to buy any :)

Yeah, if I don't come up on any good idea, I'll just choose money. But I treat it as a finality and will try to look for sth interesting first :)

Sajedene - nope, I don't have a driving license yet :)

apologies guys, i just figured out that the whole website is encrypted so people don't steal your card numbers from it. i was logged in when i bought those links. either that or anything related to the FBI watch list can't be linked. (they sell high grade uranium-235 ore as well as cool science nicknacks, and a little vial of radioactive gas that works as a light))12345678ew

Wait WTH? :?

To be honest, I'd just get him a gift card. He seems to need something very particular, so I would just leave it up to him to decide.

Just make sure you let him know that you didn't just cop out of buying him a real present; wouldn't want a good bromance to break up, now would we?:P
