I don't mean a big present like a car/driving lessons, etc, something smaller.

A silver star engraved key ring which I left under his pillow just before we left him in his new bedroom.

My brother gave me a sandwich toaster when I went to University in the early 80s. I'm still using it, and it has become a bit of a tradition in our family now - every new University student gets one!

My parents gave me a photo album of the first 18 years of my life.

Yes we did this too

I got a professional slideshow software subscription for my nephew as a uni gift. Here are some examples of these programs- www.softwaretestinghelp.com/professional-slideshow-software/ but ask your DS first if he finds it to be useful.
