My friend and fellow web designer is celebrating his birthday today. I don't have idea for a gift, but I am thinking about buying him some software, or licence for some design work. He php, drupal programmer and quite good designer. Any ideas?

what platform does he develop on?

At his company they all use Drupal. He knows php, but I am not sure if he uses any other platforms.

PragmataPro is a nice programming font. The regular width (which is all your really need, IMO) is $19; the full version is $170: http://www.fsd.it/fonts/pragmatapro.htm

Thanks for the idea. It is really nice, I am just afraid if buying a single font not a little to small for a gift...

If he's designing on a Mac, then I'm sure a poster such as Michael Flarup's Keep Calm would be a cool gift[1]. If he is on Windows I am sure he'll still enjoy some kind of design poster.

His first skydive: http://www.uspa.org/BecomeaSkydiver/ChooseaMethodampaSchool/...

And go with him.

Or a really unique dinner.

Because he'll remember and talk about an experience for years longer than he'll remember a license.
