I raise and breed leopard geckos so this is an easy one. A tupperware bowl upside down with a hole cut into it. Or put in a some fish plants or climbing vines. Or look on the internet about safe house plants and you can give them a few of them to climb on.

A 7.1 channel 500W surround sound speaker system is preferred, but they will accept a 5.1 channel of good quality. XM radio with big buttons so when they smash their hands on it, they don't hit the other buttons. HDTV...it doesn't have to be big, a small one is theatre size compared to them. Perhaps XM radio or a good mp3 player and a CD library. A library card (saves room on bookshelves for them)
That should do.
Or:
sticks for them to climb on, smooth rocks, sandbag paperweights.
certain houseplants...but check the toxicity of certain plants in either a book of geckos or 'Plants for the Reptile Terrarium"
You could probably make cool structures with popsicle sticks and woodglue (make sure the glue has dried for several days after you can no longer smell it) get non-toxic glue to do this.
Anything you paint...use acrylic paint, it dries fast, easy and hard. Make sure you can't smell it for several days before putting it in the cage. Never use latex(which never really dries) or oils which take a tremendous amount of time to dry and often the paint itself is toxic.
have fun with the interior decorating!

Go out and find some really interesting sticks to nail together, because geckos love to climb. But before you give them to him make sure there are no holes that could be from a bug. You also need to bake the whole structure in the oven at 350 for 5 minutes to kill any other bacteria(this is really important). Styrofoam cups are also fun, if you lay one on its side it roles a little when they climb in it. I like to take my gecko out and let her run around my bed, shes pretty old and slow though so she cant scurry away from me.

Are there any kinds of food he really likes(not live ones) that you can put into a box with holes in it? He can try to get the treats out

If you make a cardborad house out of shoe boxes they like it
