Answer 4

Ok you need to do some serious brainstorming! I'm a 16 year old guy if that helps...

It sounds like creativity is your strongest area so let's work from there. If you are any good at sketching I would suggest getting a nice photograph of the two of you and drawing that. If you aren't there's bound to be some talented, down-on-their-luck artist nearby that would do it for you!

A cool idea too would be to knit him a cool iPod cosy. (as seen over at www.wikihow.com) If anything, you learn a new skill and if he doesn't have an iPod maybe he has a phone? You could put a basic emblem on the front, e.g. his favourite football team or just a cool symbol)

In general, I'd check instructables.com and wikihow, simply because the wide variety of "How Tos" will give you a great idea of what you would like to do.

And cool idea for making your own gift! It's so much cooler than buying something, you're a great friend!

Answer 5

how about a homemade ipod holder. I saw some really cute ones made of clear vinyl with some anime or their fav band on the back and their name on the front.

Easy, cheap, personized - perfect.

Doesn't have an ipod? how about one for his cell phone?
