Return the favor!!??!

So, I dated a guy for just a couple months in the Spring. We were also friends before we dated (not really good "let's hang out" type friends) but that's besides the point. In May he left for Europe for the summer to work for a company. We obviously did not see eachother the whole summer, but talked almost everyday and for my birthday in June he sent me a really nice and expensive Neiman Marcus terry cloth robe. When he came back in late August we just didn't pick up where we left off and stopped dating. We are still friends, and still talk a few times a week...no hard feelings at all. We wern't even in an actual official relationship, just dating and we came to a mutual understanding we should just be friends. Anyway, for my question...his birthday is next month. Do I get him anything? I don't think that would have been a normal thing in our friendship before, so I'm just confused. Any advice!!?? Thanks!

To be honest, if we are still friends, I would send him a card and offer to take him

I like both of dancermay's ideas - card or lunch :)

No, we do not live in the same city. We live about an hour apart. We haven't hung out yet since he's been back although he did invite me to go sailing but I wasn't able to go.

If it is a friendship then dancermay's idea sounds good...treating for lunch or.... a couple of music cds.
