TICKETS
While he might love to listen to his favorite band on his iPod or watch
his team on TV, he'll probably like seeing them live even more. If it's
something you both enjoy, it might even be something you can do
together.
MOVIES/CDS
Movies and CDs might seem generic, but they actually require you to
know what he likes. If you're looking to avoid Wal-Mart or FYE,
Crossroads is a good local option to try.
VIDEO GAMES
Whatever game he's into can essentially become your background music
when you're over at his place; here's your opportunity to get a game

Giving your guy hobby-related items achieves two things: it contributes
to an activity you know he enjoys, and it tells him that you're okay
with him spending time with his hobby.
VIRGINIA TECH STUFF
Most students never tire of Virginia Tech items. Sweatshirts, T-shirts,
key chains, glasses, mats, car decals, flags, clocks and bags in maroon
