I don't do PC gaming, and have never gone near World of Warcraft. It's my cool nephew's birthday soon, and he's a big WOW fan.

Can anyone suggest any ideas for a pressie: t-shirts, figures, book etc?

Cheers!

Has he got any of the add ons? If not, one of them?

Failing that, there's a whole slew of merchandise for the game. Figurines, shirts etc. Mostly available from yank e-stores though.

A trip outside the house.

I go straight for the stereotypes in my humour.

...

But in seriousness, Warcraft has a fucking huge expanded universe nowadays. I think they're churning out a book once a week and releasing vol. 67 of their action figures. Forbidden Planet would be your best (albeit probably not cheapest) bet.

Gamestation also sell the action figures. They should have a figure of whatever character he is, so you might want to find out

When's his birthday? I think there's a new expansion pack due out soon, but I can't remember then. You could pre order it for him though, if it's not out before his birthday.

We had a thread just last week on this very subject. I'll go & find it.

You could also buy him a month or so of game time since you have to pay a subscription to WoW. They sell pre-paid cards in some shops I think, or you could just give his parent �8.99 or so (the cost of 1 months playing time) and say you paid for that. But I suppose that's a bit less interesting than giving him an actual material gift.
