Help me find something for my mate's birthday

    Ok, my best buddy's birthday is coming up and he flies us and another mate out to a certain Balearic island for a weekend of sun, chicas, muchas cervezas and not so much sleep...I'm stoked, as it's most probably gonna be lots of fun but this obviously also means that he's going to get a little bigger birthday present as usual, considering he pays for everything. The real problem though is to find something, as you might have guessed he is not exactly what one would consider poor, so the present should be original more than anything else.

    The "What have you recently purchased?" thread brought me to this and here is where I need your help guys. Instead of browsing around by myself, I ask you "what cool items/gadgets/products have you come across recently?"! I'm not specifically looking for just "one item", it could be multiple things!

    Here are some of his interests from the top of my head: Big Super Mario fan, consoles (NES, N64,Wii, Xbox - Generally I would prefer NOT to give him a video game though, unless you have a real insider tip), fast cars, GADGETS, got himself an ipod recently, motorboats, movies...basically anything from "thinkgeek" gadgets, across funny DVDs, games, or actually clever, useful items go.

    Basically post whatever comes to your mind but please be constructive, also please try to stay below 100-150 €!

    If you help me you can be my best mapcore mate, now that's an incentive isn't it?

    i dunno, these things usual go really well on impulse for me. like one of my friends got married last week and i had to get him a gift. as luck would have, i stumbled across this perfect gift:

    i don't exactly know whether i totally understood your image of the present, but when i was searching something for my girlfriend last year i stumbled over that site: http://www.mydays.de/home.html

    it has tons and tons and tons of totally different really special ideas (at least in my opinion)

    i know its not a gadget, but i just thought, since you mentioned motorboats and fast cars, maybe that could be of any interest, for you - if not, sry

    Sentura: Haha I first thought you got him the ice cream machine on the left "OMG AWESOME!!!!11", but the shirt is cool too! I figured a T-Shirt is a must actually for this kind of trip. Since he is running a website publishing company, I'm trying to something related to that (Internet? Serious business!)...

    Acumen: Yea I know that site, he and some other friends actually got me something from that company for my birthday - a flight with a para glider, I still need to do this

    Pogo: I've seen one of those before, might be an option...but beside training your hand/arm muscles, they aren't that much 'fun' are they?

    HP: Ahh a lava lamp, yea that's a classic but I think he already got plus a few more fancy lights

    Keep'em coming boys!

    PS: He lives in a flat share with another person, I faintly remember an automatic nerf gun turret from thinkgeek, maybe that would be cool! I'll search for it later...

    Well I came away with blisters on my fingers and severe arm ache. If he's a masochist I'm sure he'll have a great time!

    If you want to be really original you could get him some kind of statue or figurine of something. Or maybe some sharks teeth, the big bone and teeth structure of their mouth. I've got a massive one in my room, sharp as hell.

    o snap, i just got a bust made for myself in clay by a sculptor in santa monica. it turned out awesome, and it's probably the best souvenir i could have gotten for myself

    Not sure about the shark teeth, but a figurine might not be such a bad idea...thanks!
