Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I'm making an advent calendar for my husband (general gamer and geek) and I need ideas for tiny gifts to put int he boxes each day, or tiny things that can represent bigger things.
I have about 8 things so far (like hockey tickets, mistletoe, a tiny deep crow to represent a deep crow shirt) and need ideas!

I bought three and put two in the closet should mine ever die at 15$/pop at ebgames.com in the used section a couple years ago. I bet if you go into a store or call around you can find one locally as they stopped stocking them online but still do trade-ins. It's a shit-hot system and there's something oddly thrilling about finding good deals on old games that still stand up to the test of time.
If he likes RPGS at all, the original Dreamcast versions of the following are still considered some of the best games ever made.
Shenmue
Grandia II
Skies of Arcadia
Lots of Capcom games and whatnot too.
Edit: I guess I should be clear a VMU unit is like the Dreamcast version of a memory card.
Edit2: Does he collect stuff? Just play games? What does he already have?
I think perhaps the coolest way to go about it if he hasn't played it is to put a little paper mario on the calender, and then give him paper mario the game. I'm kind of odd though.
Candy?

The one stop shop for all things awesome and useless! (Read: Awesome!)
There is copious amounts of trinkets, gadgets and knick knacks on that site, enough to make even the most hardy geek's head spin!

Just neat
Things I'd enjoy at least
As far as the boy- he's a computer and console geek, loves cooking, play RPGs (but not with minis so I can't really figure out how to incoporate that one), and he likes general tech gadgetry that makes life easier (things like thinkgeek's tea brewing cup.)
Thanks for the ideas, all.
Dice?
Dice, or tiny cardboard/yet-more-papercraft versions of rulebooks.
Computer perhaps?o_O
