Do you have (or could you get for a few hours) any photos of him? I made a cool-looking "lite" gift for a guy once... I had only a few random, routine photos, so I cut us out individually and placed us on all kinds of exotic backgrounds. I got the perspectives so right that once framed, it looked very realistic -- yet very comical. That might be fun if he or both of you share the dream of a certain destination or activity. Note that if you can your hands on any photos, you can have copies made from the photo itself so you don't ruin anything.
**i did that for my friend once, you idea stealer! she wsa going to have surgery (out-patient and on her arse of all places) so i made a before and after card. it included a picture of her (her head, playboy model's body....and the pic of her head was much larger than the shot of the model), myself, my old man (this one i got very interesting with and put his head on kevin spacey's body), even my dog with a human body.
mine didn't look realistic in the slightest, but it was very fun to do and she loved it.
