For the picture, you can rummage through your gallery and look for some throwback pictures that you took together. The frame could be made out of a cardboard, or a colourful manila paper, with some petals for decoration. You could look up sites and get more ideas on how to make frames from simple items you can get in the house.
A scrapbook

Arrange those pictures in a chronological order so that as he goes through them, he would experience some nostalgia. Make sure you get pictures of him, preferably when he was doing something fun with his buddies. A slideshow could also do the trick if printing seems to be a lot of work.
