Looking for a good Xmas gift for my music-loving (plays sax) 17-yr old nephew?

it doesnt need to be about music. it can be another kind of gift or a great day eating in family or with friends. try to know what he likes or what he needs then try to think about something related with what he likes then be original. normal gifts are boring. even if they are good (like perfume for exemple)

it can be an invitation to a special place. like a concert, or you can invite him to do snowboard or to sky a place he likes as you did before. you can try also to make him a funny gift, you can also try to get something he may need. inform yourself with his family and friends to know what he likes.

or ask him. you know xmas is in a month. he probably wont think about the fact you are buying him something ( invite him to take a ride shopping for exemple you can tell him one day that you are inviting him to eat or something like that. invent a reason. in the shop, let him decide where to go, and you can try to listen to his comments to learn about his interest).

now suggestions: shoes, clothes, a coat, a sportive thing (gym/other place subscription for 1-3 month) or a tennis racket for exemple (find out about wich sport he likes), a watch, a wallet.

A headphone designed by Dr. Dre. called Beats. http://www.beatsbydre.com/products/Products.aspx?p...

Sheet music...T-shirt/other merchandise of his favorite musician (if available)...tickets to a gig by a touring jazz artist,
