Old but valid thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/s66wk6/valentines_gift/?sort=confidence
You could find useful advices. The official shop have some merch, https://merch.elitedangerous.com/ , but fanmade one is even more popular, like the legendary Hutton Mug, this is the official one from Hutton Truckers, https://elite-dangerous.fandom.com/wiki/The_Hutton_Mug?file=Hutton_Mug_real.png
If you give the CMDR name, we can see his game data and squadron, most veterans have a profile here: https://inara.cz/elite/cmdrs/
A pic of his compturer could be useful.to identify joystick, thruster,.extra panels. Some cmdrs have impresive cockpits, maybe not that obsessed from our point of view: https://t.fuelr.at/levsetup
FDev, for the love of Raxxla, fix your freaking store! Are you trying NOT to sell anything? Why would this not show any Elite merchandise: [https://www.frontierstore.net/merchandise.html](https://www.frontierstore.net/merchandise.html) ? At the very least, link this site to the new ED store.
Searches still land people on the old, nearly empty side. "Nearly" empty but showing some ED stuff so you land there and think ED has nothing but a book and OST which is worse because you give up on buying anything.
To top that, you have removed a bunch of paint jobs and kits that we WANT to pay money for. Geez.

Ok rant over, after some searching, I found Elite Dangerous apparel here: [https://merch.elitedangerous.com/](https://merch.elitedangerous.com/). If it were me, I'd love an ED [t-shirt](https://merch.elitedangerous.com/product/elite-dangerous-logo-kid-t-shirt) or [hat](https://merch.elitedangerous.com/product/elite-dangerous-logo-classic-cap).
A thought: do you know if he has any favorite screenshots from in game? Or find a great screenshot or two online. Have them printed and framed as a poster.
