Does he have a lot of little knick-knacks in his workspace? If so, you could get some sort of geeky toy, like a usb rocket launcher. If not, get something edible so he doesn't have another thing sitting around.

I've never met him and never skyped with him so I'm not sure, but that's a good, useful suggestion, the usb rocket launcher.
