A year, that's great!
I don't know much about technology, so I won't make any suggestions in that area. However, I do know of a GREAT Sci-fi book; heck, it's just a great book in general. It's called Ender's Game (actually it's a series, but the first one is called Ender's Game) Ask him if he's read it. If not, DEFINITELY get it for him, he'll love it.
I don't know what kind of music he's into, but being a trumpeter myself, I do know that if he plays trumpet he'll at least be interested in, if not absolutely love, a cd of one or more of the following:
Louis Armstrong
The Dirty Dozen Brass Band
The Rebirth Brass Band
Slavic Soul Party! (i don't know if Amazon, iTunes, or any of the others will have this....you'll have to do a google search)
possibly Hazmat Modine (again, google search)
Bonerama (it's all trombones, but still interesting to any brass player)
Clifford Brown
Kermit Ruffins (I can't remember if he plays trombone or trumpet)
Trombone Shorty (he's actually a trumpeter)
There's tons more, just search "brass band" or "trumpet" on amazon or iTunes and you'll be able to pick and choose from a wide variety of artists and genres.
I hope I've been helpful, and I know that he'll love whatever you get him. Have fun, you two! Happy Valentines Day!

Yes. A lunch date with YOU!
You pay for the lunch - perhaps on a Saturday afternoon.
Make him a card - ok, you may cheat by going to the card section of the store and get great ideas. Guys don't admit it but they never get "handmade" cards - just for them.
Now if you have any money left over (because you might get a new dress for this occasion), get him a small present - yes very small - like candy - you know those little hearts with those "sayings" on them like 'kiss me', etc.
Ask him to dress up - and take him to a nice restaurant but make sure it's a place where the two of you will be comfortable.
Now - for you - Show up wearing that spectacular dress that you look - so great, fine and awesome in.
Wear those stockings, nice jewlery, nice earrrings, and great perfume (if you can get pheromone - which has a different scent on everyone).
Do your nails and makeup - again you will look so fine!
Don't tell him where you're going - unless he's the kind that has to know.
Send him an electronic email card -
free electronic cards - www.123greetings.com - or other site.
- and write your invitation to the lunch with his special girl
as you personalize this electronic greeting card.
HE WILL REMEMBER THIS FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.
You will be described as "AMAZING" and be remembered by him "and to his friends as he will brag about what you did for him for the rest of your life. His friends will be jealous if their "girls" don't do anything special.
GOD bless us always.

A year? That's pretty special. Valentines means time for one more base, at least.
