Birthday Ideas
Hey guys, I was hoping that some of you could help me out with some birthday present ideas for my friend. I know I've left it rather late considering his birthday is in a week and a half, but I haven't been able to think of anything nearly good enough so I'm hoping some of y'all have some cool ideas! So, a little bit about my friend: he's turning 22 next week, he's a huge movie fan (owns over 600 DVDs), he's a James Bond fanatic, he's Australian (so anything Australian is good, but I can't think of anything cool enough!!), he's studying to be a paramedic, and he surfs. I have to get him something spectacular because he got me a fantastic birthday present! My budget is anything under $100. I have one other gift in mind but I need something else. Please help me out!
Thanks so much!

Here.
Though you'd need a US shipping address for most of those, as it's very unlikely that you'll get any of that to Canada with 1.5 weeks.

Thanks Amaryll. As you said, I don't have a US address or two weeks to wait so I'm looking for something I can go to a store and buy, not order online. Thanks though!

How about one of these?

You could put in the James Bond theme so he could put it on his notebook/door to play the theme whenever it's opened.

It's easily removable and you can change the audio on it anytime through a USB key, according to the website. I don't think it's that loud. It's the same tech used in those greeting cards, but has better quality audio. (i.e. it doesn't have to be a .midi jingle.)

This thing is pretty sick for a movie/media enthusiast if they have multiple media devices within a fairly small area (ipad/tablet, smartphone, multiple computers, smart-tv, ps3). Basically its a 500gb external harddrive (that can function as a portable external drive) and has the ability to (on its own) broadcast its own wifi network allowing up to three devices at the same time to stream the movies/pics etc directly from the drive (no external router needed). JUst needs to have some james bond loaded onto it...

Its about $180 which would only really be doable if you combined with someone. But like that crazy gaming system above its something to think about, if perhaps a bit unrealistic.
