Ideas for Birthday Present?

Little Acorn

Can anybody help me with ideas on what to get my boyfriend for his birthday? We're together over 5 years,and in the past have gotten him an xbox,telly,cds, dvds, jewellery or clothes for birthday's/Christmas etc.
I wouldn't mind getting him any of these things again,if anybody knows of some good cds or dvds that are out at the minute.
Any different/creative ideas also appreciated.
Have an absolute maximum of 180 euro to spend,would prefer if I could get something really nice between 100-150 though. {or cheaper!}

It wasn't a flat screen or anything! Was a few years ago,just a regular old fashioned one,bout 17 inches. Think it was less than 200 euro. He still uses it now in his rented house,and won't get a new one even though all his friends have massive 52 inch flatscreens. :-)

He does like mobile phones,but he likes the one he has at the minute. I'll ask him about sat nav though.
Thanks.

it's generally said to be the best tv show ever made. there's 5 seasons of it, and i watched them all in march!! it's pretty addictive and you have to watch a few episodes before it really gets going. it's about the police department in baltimore, generally fighting drug wars.
here's a few clips, sometimes you have to laugh at the stuff!!

If he doesnt smoke grass get him a bag of herbal from the head shop and bake a cake for him with it.

He will go surfing after that for sure.

Have a good one.

I love go karting! Did it once in Spain,although the only person who drove slower than me was my mum. The men working there all started applauding when she finally finished. :-)
Will look into that more,thanks.
