Christening present for a 12 year old boy?

well the title says it all really!

OH's cousin had a baby girl in March she is being christened at the end of the month, great, I know what to buy for babies :o

But they have now decided to get her son christened at the same time, I've no idea what to buy him for bithdays/xmas at the best of times, what on earth is an acceptable christening gift for him?

Any help would be much appreciated as i'm at a complete loss. The only thing I could think of was a bible and his Gran has got him one already!

Thanks

    i would buy a bottle of malt whisky and have it engraved - then he can keep it for another milestone in his life - christening of his own son, marraige or something like that, no one else will think of that
