    • subscription to Brilliant
    • museum card (go with him)
    • trip abroad
    • night out to stand up comedy
    • tickets to an anime convention

    Edit: maybe get him a busuu, rosetta stone, or duolingo subscription so that he can learn a new language, and maybe the desire to travel to experience life outside of the country, learn about new cultures and people, and so on.

      To be honest brilliant seemed so cool to me like 7 years ago and I got a subscription and found that I basically learnt nothing from it even though I spent hundreds of hours.

      It’s good at making you “feel” like you’re learning but it’s pretty bad at actually teaching things.

      A textbook will go so much further.
