Gift for 12 year old attendant

My twelve-year old grandson is not a groomsman, but to incorporate him into the wedding, he will read at the service. His little sister is flower girl, so she is getting an attendants gift (age appropriate). I am looking for ideas in the $30-35 range for grandson. I don't want him to get a traditional wedding type gift. Any suggestions?

    What did you get him for a holiday or birthday gift?  Does he like Lego's or does he have a portable gaming system for which you could get him a new game?  Does he go to movies with friends?  You could get him a gift card to his local movie theatre.    Does he have his own iPad or computer?  You could get him an iTunes, Amazon, or other online gift card.

    Buy for him like you would for his birthday or Christmas.

    This is a good idea - Cash is always a welcome gift to kids that age since it's that awkward "Tween" age.

    Is he a reader?  Get him a book.  Is he a sports nut?  Give him a t-shirt or hat of his favorite team.  Does he collect something?  Give him an addition to his collection.

    It is highly encouraged to buy all of your attendants a thank you gift for being in your bridal party.

    Thank you all. I think I'm going to get him a Game Stop gift card or an Ohio State jersey.
