What would you want for your birthday?

[deenet]

My friend's birthday is coming up, and I don't know what to get him. He started middle school this year.

I was thinking of giving him a book of mine, but I don't know which one.

Spy vs. Spy, a large comic book about these two spies who try to kill each other (Black spy; White spy).

Or should I just give him money?

Thanks in advance, and feel free to move this thread if it's not in the right place (:

Well, my best mate 'n' I tend to get silly amusing objects, and get the other person drunk. But each to their own right?

Money seems a bit... weird to me. It's something my Gran gives me, not something I would give to a friend. :S

I want a wacom tablet heart Even though my parents said they'd get me one I think I'll end up buying it myself xD

[arlenzi]

nothing is as unpersonal and 'in your face' as money. Give something that you think he'll like

Its a wacom tablet or intuos4 tablet better? I believe I'm getting an intuos4 tablet for Christmas.

Aside from that. I believe if you honestly don't know a gift card to their favorite store, or just money in general is always a good present!

This place is pretty fast.

I don't know him that well, I go to highschool. I'm friends with his sister (who is also my friend) and she invited me to his birthday party. I want to get him something though, even if we aren't that close.

I'm pretty sure he'd beat me up if I got him drunk. I can see Chris Hansen just around the corner ):

I actually got one of my friends a tablet for her birthday, it was a bamboo though. Someone scratched it pretty badly on the first day too.

O.o well I don't know, I've had my heart sent on a wacom for about a year now, haven't heard of the Intuos4 tablet, I'll have to check it out
I just want a tablet T.T last year I got a 'genius' table
NEVER BUY THOSE. I got the 9X12 tablet, it ******** sucks, worse part is I finally got a laptop at the beginning of the year, and the tablet didn't work on it, I contact Genius tech support they say they'll make a driver for the Mac OSX 10.5.8 I wait for October, they launch it, I try it out and it still didn't work, talk to tech support again and the guy is like "your tablet is obsolete, pay for shipping so we can get that one back and send you another one"
yeah right, ******** that now I'm just saving up for the wacom -.-

And I don't know what people are talking about, sure money seems a bit impersonal and basically says "I didn't know what to get you" but I love money gifts, I can get what I want then o.o

Edit:
just googled the intuos4 tablet, didn't know it WAS a wacom
mah gooosh do want

My friend has one, its amazing! :3 I need mine for fashion design at home!

Gift card? Or maybe a t-shirt?
With my friends, money and/or gift cards is perfectly fine, but we're all girls, so we like shopping.

Maybe a t-shirt with his favourite band on it? Or any type of clothing he might like, with some candy?

Just throwing some ideas around, :3
