Hi!

It’s my best friend’s 18th this July and i want to get him something really special. (I did have a bunch of ideas but they just couldn’t be done unfortunately)
So, I was wondering if you would be able to help me out. I’m willing to spend up to about fifty pounds- but I’d go higher if it’s something amazing.
Just a few things he’s interested in:
-Lord of the Rings (Boromir in particular) and the Hobbit, he already owns the one ring.
-The Avengers
-Sherlock Holmes books
-Thor,
-Comic books (like Batman and The Green Lantern),
-Victorian gentlemen’s clothing (he recently bought a pocket watch)
-Maps
-Pretty much anything to do with history (largely ancient history though)
-How I met your Mother (particularly Barney because of the Bro Code)
-Video games (like the usual teenage boy ones)
-Exercising a ridiculous amount (but he has had chest infections so something along those lines probably isn’t a good idea)

Last year I made him a big book that referenced everything he likes and had notes from all his friends so I can’t do something like that either.
Preferably something that would last a long time because it is his eighteenth and I want it to be special.

Sorry this is so long but I’d appreciate any advice :)

Pyramid collection has a very nice gentlemens coat in their costume section, and also full-length cloaks.
Maybe you could plan a trip to a sic-fi convention. Traveling doesn’t have to be expensive, particularly if you go by bus and stay in hostels.
It doesn’t really fit into your categories, but one of the coolest gifts I’ve gotten recently was a Garmin gps device.
CafePress has cool t-shirts with quotes from just about everything under the sun, and I’m sure they’d have some Bro Code and LotR ones.
Just a few ideas. If you have a few minutes, please give your opinion on my cat question.
