Hi, I need to buy a gift for my friend for his brithday tomorrow. He is 18, he loves Japanese type stuff, but not the cartoony type things. I don't think he needs or wants any computer games either. It's a tough call, but I'm not Asian, but maybe someone with experience in buying Asian gifts can suggest an idea. I'll take any help I can get! Thank you so much in advance. :)

*Recalls what he desired for his 18th*
Actually, that's a lie, I wanted to be free at 18, and I don't think that can just be given in a conventional sense.

You could always buy him Pocky, at least as a side gift. Everyone loves pocky.

Call up the US army, they're good at distributing freedom.

You joke, but the army has been a serious consideration.
Alas, the Psych evaluation would probably do me in.

Well, a book on Japanese history or culture would be a nice idea. Or maybe a Japanese cookbook, if he's the culinary type. I think it'd be pretty fun to learn to make sushi. :)

I have no idea what Canadian grocery stores would carry pocky, but if you've got an Asian market nearby they probably stock it.

In the Asian section of supermarkets, Asain Supermarkets, or apparently Walmart.

I second Pudding of Evil. The cookbook idea is a very good one. I also suggest a book of Ukio-e prints or something along those lines. Those are way better than 'cartoony-stuff'.

If he likes arty things, an origami book and some nice paper would be cute!

I guess you might want something a bit more special for an 18th though o_O "Special" birthdays are so hard.
