Make a donation in they're honour to a charity. Of course you can do this with any charity you're interested in, but I know in particular organizations, like World Vision, Canadian Baptist Ministeries, and maybe UNICEF, have actual "gifts you can give". For instance, I had a friend who was a school teacher, so I gave him 'a classroom full of books' from World Vision, which means they get a card that explains the gift, and kids from a particular impoverished community get some classroom supplies.

I think the best gifts for those types of people (and actually great gifts in general) are the indulgent things that they could get for themselves, but probably wouldn't.
Examples -- cooking classes at a local culinary school, one-two nights at a local B&B for a quick escape, a day at the spa, a private yoga lesson, golf lesson with a local pro, or guitar lessons...
We often don't have time to book these things for ourselves...they make great gifts.

You don't mention who this person is....like a family member, a boss, a close friend, a significant other....If the person is close to you, like a family member, or a friend ---maybe a framed picture of you, or you and them on a vacation or on a special trip....or something that brings back good memories. If there is an item that you own and that person really likes it, maybe you can part with that item or buy them something similar (like jewelery, fragrances, golf clubs). If you pay attention, I bet you can come up with something your person will like and appreciate. And as with most gifts....it is the thought that counts. Hope this helps.

Alright I was once in this exact situation and came up with this. If you are willing to spend a decent amount of money, then I suggest name a star after the person. You can do it online through the international star registry site. There are about 3 different packages that you can get. The one i got was the cheapest (Custom), 54$, and it came with this really fancy certificate and star chart. I bought a cheap but pretty frame for the certificate. My friend loved it.
Here is the website:

-It may seem kinda corny -but seriously, who wouldn't want to have a star named after them?!!

What does the person like? If it's movies, a gift certificate to the movie theater or block busters. CD's or games a gift certificate for Circut City.

A gift certificate, or a gift card to their favorite store or restaurant is the best...

American Express giftcard - that way they can go anywhere and get anything
or a gift certificate to a somewhere nice to eat - that way they can enjoy something that is not of material value - which they have already

Take them for a day out to somewhere they love to go. It will be your company and the experience you are giving as a gift, not something material.

A gift card, a spa treatment package, a gift basket, or a club membership (gym, AAA, wine or fruit of the month, etc.).

How about a beautiful painting, or a portrait of that person-just bring the artist a photo of the birthday gal/guy!
