It’s someone I’ve been friends with for about 5 years, fwb on and off for some of that time.
I saw him yesterday, it’s his birthday coming up and I said to him yesterday ‘are you doing anything for your birthday?’ He heard me say ‘do you want anything for your birthday?’ He started saying it’s lovely that I’ve thought about his birthday etc, so now I have to think of a present for him!
I wouldn’t mind but he’s the most awkward person to think of anything to get 
he doesn’t have any hobbies, works long hours so doesn’t get much free time, has some food type issues so getting food/restaurant type gifts is a no go.
We’ve never done presents for each other so I’m not sure where to start! I don’t want to get too much so it looks like it’s straying into boyfriend territory, but don’t want to look mean either. I was thinking maybe a box of the Japanese or American sweets and maybe a cinema gift card, but then I don’t know if that would look like I’m expecting him to ask me to go with him?!
Can anyone give me any suggestions of what I could look at please?
