Gifts are an optional one but if you want to give a gift here are a few suggestions
1. Make something
2. Send an e-card
3. Offer him some assisstance with something
4. Call him on March 10th and say "Happy Birthday"
5. Send him a text
6. Re-gift - so let me explain this one a bit.
Back in the 90's the term regifting was coined on an episode of Jerry Seinfeld. It's becoming more popular now but by no means is it a new concept. Basically it is the act of giving away a gift that you've been given. There are rules though. You shouldn't regift half a box of candy, bubble bath that you have used once or a pre-worn shirt, washed or not. A few standard rules include:
- rewrap the gift
- you might not want to give the gift back to the original giver
- you probably shouldn't regift hand made items.
- If you have $1.23 left on a gift card use it towards a purchase instead of regifting the card.

You said to call and say "Happy Birthday." You don't think Mateo would want us to give him 20+ glorious semi-off key renditions of the Happy Birthday song?
Also, I know that Mateo puts all his music on the computer now. Would it still be OK to give him some CDs that I have been saving for gifts or just loan him some new favorites he has not heard to download or both?
I love the loaning to download idea. It saves physical space and it's definitely a gift idea that can be reused for different people. Hadn't thought of that one.
