present-getting advice thread

I was going to start a more specific one for my request only, but yeah, this instead.

so I have a 13 year-old nephew and on my sister's advice, I've decided to get him some kind of t-shirt. he's into his computer games and has a nerdy and a sarcastic streak. I want to get him a t-shirt with some kind of reference or something. but I don't want it to be shit.

he likes Minecraft, does anywhere do Minecraft t-shirts?

or, like, any other computer games-related t-shirts

also you can all field present-getting dilemmas here. if I wasn't clear about that.

Did a quick look on Red Bubble and found this

http://www.redbubble.com/people/gruntbuddy/works/9169491-minecraft-nes-unofficial-minecraft-shirt

There's probably something better on there if you've got the time to properly search through it

  - what's that a reference to?
    
    I am so out of touch with computer games.

      - look at what I'm going to get him

        hopefully, if they have it back in stock before Christmas, like.
        
        I would totally wear that and I don't even know how to make anything of Minecraft. I downloaded it and told him I'd play it, but I didn't.

Aw I thought this was going to be about receiving presents

and what kind of facial expression is most appropriate for certain gifts.

- get her one or both of the Two Fat Geordies
  
  get them to come around and cook her tea and maybe more.

    I don't know if she fancies them. It's not like when I had to buy my dad the Sophie Ellis Bextor album
