    Hai Swaran,
    U can get him a watch. I gift watch to my cousin for his upanayanam.
    Since he is 9, i dont know whether he will be interested in watch or not.
    You can also gift a ring which is available for around 4000 in GRT

    What about payig for his computer classes or something like that. Or you cna open a savings account in his name for his college.

    Giving gold or silver may be valuable in few years, but it will be nice to start saving for his future too.

    Have a great time at his Poonal.

    Give him my wishes too.:cheers

    coffeelover's suggestions really make sense - very practical. one more suggestion is a gift coupon from a book store, so that they can buy whatever books he likes to read and has not already read.

    Since he is just 9 ,get him a sports model bicycle.

    You can also gift him some classes of his interest.(Pay the courses fee )
