I did not know what to get my son for his birthday. Ever since he got a job, he buys what he wants and does not leave much room for the rest of us to get him gifts. I bought him a Zune car charger for his birthday, only to find out that he had already owned one for months.

I do not want to give him money, as I feel it is very impersonal and under appreciated. I thought that I could maybe get him a new Zune dock cable, as the one he has now is getting quite old. When I told him that he should give me a list of suggestions, he said that I could just give him clothes, but how much fun is that.

I ended up getting him a Zune travel charger, a new dock and a pair of jeans. He seemed pretty happy with the choices and I am glad, as I don’t foresee me being able to get him very many more gifts that he will enjoy.
