Well seeing as he's gonna be 16 and into all things oriental my suggestion is a Thai prostitute, sure to be something he will remember
:angel:
Ok, first thing: DO NOT give him vaseline :P I know u want to, but dont do it...
wait a couple of years :P
anyways, what could be better than giving him a lifetime supply of .... neocrack ?
or if thats to xpencive, just buy him the game :P or make sure he buys it before and then u can just give him like a month or somethin :)
beer or dope usualy works well for me 2 :P

These are terrible ideas!
My friend is not a dope smoking whore smoking rebrobate. SiL I appreciate the PM about samarai swords but....I've got a small budget.
So if people have any other LEGAL gifts ideas please post them :angel:
*sniff* no one got me a prostitute for my birthday :(
Okay, Neocrack.... all things oriental......
How about ........an NC box with account, together with a little ingame "surprise" like an apartment kitted out in as many Murals by Mah Jong , cabinets by Hiromi Ishikawa, chairs by Takeo Obuchi and Bonsai trees as his heart desires :)
....oh, and some Nigri Sushi from Rocco's Seafood :D

I was going to suggest a Thai mail order wife, but I'm not sure that would be appriciated now.
what did you people get for your 16ths?
Hmm... can't remember... was quite a while ago now :p
But here's a shot in the dark.... Is he into art and stuff? Like Japanese landscape prints etc.? Only reason that springs to mind is that a really good present is one that will last years and is always around the house in full view to appreciate it more. Presents i avoid buying people are: a) anything consumable that will be gone in no time, and b) anything that is likely to be stuffed in a drawer and forgotten about.
/edit. Last time i bought pressies that matched the above criteria, i found what i was looking for in gadget shop type places. Something useful and practical.

once again money comes into question
I'm a cheap teen :rolleyes:
And how old is your friend?
Get him the Bruce Lee DVD's - saw them in Morrisons for 5.99 I think, when I was getting my lunch today.
Here are my suggestions for presents on a budget:
Books:
The Art of War - Grossly overhyped but an interesting book to read and own.
Bushido: The Way of the Samurai - Heavier going than the above, but very interesting none the less.
Legend of the Five Rings - Supposed to be a great oriental-themed pen and paper RPG. Great choice if your friend might like RPG's.
Games:
Shogun: Total War - Might be a bit slow paced, but a great (and cheap!) game.
Legend of the Five Rings CCG - Something you could both enjoy, though normally I'd advise that CCG's are bad, m'kay?
Films:
Chinese Ghost Story (1 or 2) - Great example of the martial-arts / comedy / supernatural genre.
Give him your life, be hes slave for 1day :D Best present you can have :D

hey i got this book ! it looked old as the street tough lol, with a chinese guy infront holding a pen or sumthing, i tought it was filled with poems at first :)
dunno if its hyped tough, i yust bought it cause the title sounded nice, read the first page and tadaa !
i found it very intresting, it felt like explaining the ethics of war to me :)
tough i found it usefull as you can interpret "war" very broad lik for example: discussions and fights :)
been a while ago i read it tough, should read it again cause its not that many pages and its lying under my bed anyway :)

16th b-day:
Mail in order of a hot thai wife, and some cron 55 beer, introduced to Neocrack for the first time and still hooked on it.
17th b-day:
moneh, and a piece of junk car.
18th B-day:
strip bars all day long
19th B-day:
NC2, more Neocrack, a piece of shit laptop, and a GeForce FX5700le.
Those are all the B-day gifts I recieved, not too much is expensive. Oh and btw oriental stuff is pretty expensive. Here i can find a samurai sword for about $20.00 or 15 Euros.

what is it with you people and thai prostitutes O_o
what is it with you people and thai prostitutes O_o
it's a step up from Droms ;)
What about either a Go or Mah jong game?
They are both ancient games.
Depends what he likes though... it's not a ninja thing and not an electronic thing, but more of a social/decorating item.

a decent mah jongg shouldnt be too much...
i got a set kickin around somewhere, but its such a long game to play, and no good when drunk ;)
