Make your own personal video, "For your eyes only".
Set up a video camera, lay back on the bed and let your hands wander wherever they want to
Believe me, that is a present every man wants, will get plenty of use, and never ever get thrown away.
If he seems a little bored with that, then ask if he wants to see the live show ... ;)
