Help! Need Moving to NY Gift Ideas

[vetrik]

My little brother just decided 2 weeks ago to move to New York City with his band, and Saturday is the official moving day! We're getting together at my parent's tonight to say goodbye, and I'd love to get him a little something for his move. I don't want to spend much (he just graduated from college, and we gave a big gift for that), but I just wanted something helpful/useful/funny for his new city. I also don't have much time - I need to get it after work today, which eliminates ordering anything online.

The problem is I can't really think of anything, except maybe a book about moving to NY/making it in NY as a musician or a little NY trinket, but even with that I don't really know what to look for.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

I was going to suggest a gift card to somewhere he might shop for apt. stuff, but maybe too much $$?

What about a gift card to Starbucks (does he drink coffee?) or a gift check from American Express to go out to dinner.

I was expecting you to suggest a shopping cart.
