.1 BTC coin. I don't think Casascius has made any that small, but I think Lealana has.
Oh ok, I thought you could change the amount on physical coins wallet. I didn't know their were set amounts that couldn't be changed if that is what your saying.

Buy one of those real life Bitcoins, put it in a box and put a note behind the Coin with the login to his Blockchain account. In the Blockchain account, has the 0.1 BTC in there. 
Make the box look fancy.

if engraving, do not use a remote bitcoin service for it. instead go to a local store in your town that engraves metal or glass and get them to do it.
firstly due to the fact that he is less likely to even know what bitcoin is to even care what he is engraving, secondly you can be in more control of watching him to ensure he doesnt keep a copy. thirdly you know where he physically is and able to make a return visit to slap him with a wet fish if he did screw you

Thanks for the replies everyone. Those cards look pretty cool... although they are almost .1 btc themselves. 
Also... I assume you would have to trust the engraver with the private key, no?
Also... I assume you would have to trust the engraver with the private key, no?Yes if you are having the private key engraved you would have to trust them which I COULDN'T personally I think the best option is to just give him the private key on a piece of paper or something like that.

If you want to give me 0.1 BTC I would be happy to receive it in any form. 
I think papper wallet is the best choice for 0.1

Get one of those metal wallets they are pretty cool for a gift.
Casascius coin would be pretty cool. I guess from what I read their not being made anymore so that is a cool gift IMO. Something tangible to showoff, hold and look at is always nice especially if it appreciates in value.
i don't know
paper wallets with cool design
a cool pendrive
you can buy a metal wallet for example(although for that you'll have to spend 0.0X)

put it on a cd .... or thumb drive.
This person is tech-savvy and libertarian-minded. He's heard of Bitcoin but doesn't know too much about it. Any ideas for a cool way to give .1 as a birthday present other than just a print-out? Not too expensive, obviously
