Default Need Christmas Gift advice!

Ok, I need some help choosing a Christmas gift for someone! I have been dating this guy for about a month, and although we haven't had "the talk" yet, we have gotten pretty close, spend weekends together, and talk/text daily. Today he gave me my birthday/christmas gift (my bday and christmas are a week apart), and it was a really nice victoria's secret gift. I have already gotten him a little "trinket" type gift that will be meaningful for him, and also a donation in his name to the north shore animal league (animal rights/adoption is important to him) I want to get something else, a little more sizable, but am stumped. Any advice on a good gift to get for a guy? He is into music, an is a musician, but I am sure he has what he needs instrument-wise, and I don't want to get a gift certificate. I thought about concert tickets, but I can't find tickets to a band he would like within the next month or so. He has a two year old daughter, so I was thinking something that he could do with her like a parent child class or activity. Would that be appropriate or weird?
Wow this is hard! lol. Any advice anyone?

What intrument(s) does he play? Maybe he could use a new case for one?

Or what about a really cool music related print or painting he could hang on his wall?

Realistically, you have been with this guy a little over a month. Although you may have fallen head-over-heels with him, be cautious. I would recommend a simplistic approach. He is going to love you for you and not for the gifts.

If you want go give his daughter a gift, please make sure he is okay with it. I am a mom of 8 kids and prior to blending our family, my husband was single for 9 years. He didn't welcome 'girlfriends' coming on too strong to his kids, especially for special occasions, because it takes time to build relationships.

Sometimes less is more. Just go with the flow.

May be a vinyl disk with rare tapes of the band he likes would be a good present for him.
Or as a variant a t-shirt with band logo.
