I'd send along a little gift box of his favorite things. My FI loves it when I bring him things home from a trip to the store, when he isn't expecting them. Sometimes I get him a greeting card with a little gift card in it (not anything expensive, maybe for a burrito or 2 at Chipotle), or a greeting card and some cookies/candy, he LOVES Hershey's so sometimes I'll come home with a Hershey's and toss it in the freezer and only tell him after we're done with dinner :) Anything that will be a surprise - maybe an I-Tunes gift card if he has an iPod and likes music, or a giftcard to somewhere he likes to eat (avoids the 'cooking' issue), or if he is active military you might send him a money order written out to "Defense Commissary Agency" and tuck it inside a card saying that you hope he'll buy himself something special with it (you know, those things we love as gifts but would never spend money on for ourselves). BTW, if you've never done a money order this way, here is more information: http://www.commissaries.com/press_room/press_release/documents/2009/DeCA87_09.pdf

I don't know if the PX does the same thing or not, but I know that's how the commissaries do it. You could also send him a gift basket or something else from the virtual commissary if you are an authorized patron (this is a neat idea if he's deployed): https://www.commissaries.com/log_in/html/virtual_comm/patronauth.cfm?CFID=2935680&CFTOKEN=32812066

For something extra special, you could also send him a bouquet of every man's favorite thing. Snacks/Candy. Try http://www.sweetsinbloom.com/ they have an entire section for men!

Just a few thoughts :)
