Amazon giftcard, perhaps? Many students use Amazon for their books and supplies, and if he’s on any kind of budget he’ll appreciate some wiggle room.

Does he like Star Wars? Perhaps something to do w/ the new movie, or if you’re close enough to do so you could take him to it and dinner before or after.

Is he somewhere cold?

Would he enjoy reading the new book by Michael Lewis (author of Liar’s Poker, Moneyball, The Blind Side and others)? It’s called The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds and is about two Israeli psychologists who did fundamental work in behavioral psychology. (It’s available in both Kindle and hardbound formats, in case he would find it easier to read an ebook.)
