Thanks for the suggestions, guys !
four hand massage sounds kinky ... a mankini might not work for his figure (lack of, that is!).
i asked him outright last night and he said he doesn't mind a new pair of headphones.... isn't that a bit personal? how am i to know which ones sound good ?

if he travels a lot on the plane, might be worth getting a BOSE QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headphones.
