Get him a 50mm 1.8 lens if he doesn't already have one. 50mm lenses are essential for any serious photographer and they are also the cheapest lenses you can get costing at around 170 to 200 usd. The next cheapest thing you can get for the camera is either an extra battery pack (which is also quite important) or a tripod.
Or you could get him some polarizing filters for the lenses he already owns, just check which lenses he has and ask at the store which size polarizer fits those lenses.

If he doesn't have any zoom or telephoto lenses those would be goo additions to his camera. Also a camera stand would be nice or a camera case with space for accessories. Try the link below to show you some of the accessories available for the Nikon D80.

What's your budget?
SB-600 external flash: ~$230
50mm f1.8 lens: ~$120
MB-D80 vertical battery grip: ~$140, add battery (the vertical grip takes two batteries so the camera can shoot more pictures before your boyfriend have to recharge his batteries) +$40
Bogen/Manfrotto tripod: depends on the model, but you can get a good one for about $200
All of the above are a great addition for your bf's camera, but if you have something else in mind, don't be afraid to shoot me an email.

Get him a good book on photography, there may be one dedicated to the D80.

memory cards, or battery packs...
the D80 come out the box fully equipped.
they do a nice very wide angle adapter, 15mm off ebay (or a camera shop)
if you reeeeely love him..buy him an off camera flash head.. about 150 quid (plus)

If he doesn't have an external flash, the SB800 would be a fabulous addition, or if that's too pricey, the SB600. Look at www.bhphoto.com.

A sturdy tripod or monopod. Bogen/Manfrotto is a very good brand.

Take some photos of yourself in the nude with the camera I'm sure he will be happy.
