Birthday present ideas!

[Miss-taken]

A friend of mine's birthday is on Friday and I need a really good idea for a present! He's a he, early 30's, guitar obsessive (seriously - who needs 4 guitars and still drawls over having more?!) into Star Wars, Simpsons (and the like) and music of all kinds.
Although we're not really present giving friends - he's been doing some massive favours for me in the last few months and has really been going out of his way for me by giving up a lot of his time so I really think I need to buy him something good! Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

If you live in or around London how about a day trip to the Star Wars Exhibition, now open to celebrate the 30th anniversary.

Ok I have a guitar weilding friend I don't see much and we always buy each other something really small but excellently thought out, so its more a gesutre of 'I thought you'd love this...' rather than make each other akward with the money spent. Last year for his birthday I bought him something which made his face light up and make him ten times more annoying.
PIKCARD.
It's exactly like a credit card only it has various designs on it from swirls to skulls to animals and has four pik size punch outs. The idea being it stays in your wallet till that random momment when you find a guitar - party, shop etc, where you can whip it out, and look cool.
type it into a search engine and it will throw up lots of sites, or you can get them from ebay. And at 99p each its the perfect, I knew you'd love this, but it didn't cost too much.

Perhaps you should read them then, otherwise you will continue to look a bit silly won't you?
