Q. Hellooo.
I'm having such a hard time picking out a gift for him even though I know his likes. We've been together six months, so I don't know what going to far would mean. I also don't want him to think that if I get him something expensive, I expect something expensive back when it's my birthday.
Anyways, he's a few things he likes:
He writes music - Maybe a journal to write his songs in? I'm having a hard time finding a decent one online, any ideas?
He's a huge The Beatles fan. He likes 60's/70's/80's music but he has A LOT of CD's already. Wouldn't know what he has or not.
He's 23 btw.
He plays the guitar and the bass.
He's a shy guy for the most part.
He still uses his walkman and carries his cd's with him everywhere... I was thinking an Ipod? But... Would that be too much?
I also saw this The Beatles throw that I think he might like.
Please Help! Anythiiiing anythiiing will be of help!
Thanks! :)

Since he still uses CDs, you could be all old school and make him a mix. Put songs you think he'll like and songs that remind you of the two of you.
A music journal is a nice idea. Have you seen the ones that have blank sheet music in them as well?
Like this: http://www.themusicstand.com/64-Page-Six-Stave-Student-Blank-Music-Book-p/567781.htm
Or here is a nice music themed regular journal: http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/Home-gift/Musicians-Black-Notebook-Manuscript-Paper-for-Inspiration-and-Composition/e/9780762403691/
I'm a fan of Etsy and they specialize in a lot of vintagey stuff so you may find some 60s/70s/80s music themed stuff there. It's all unique and make great gifts.
They have a ton of Beatles related stuff apparently! Check it out:

An iPod is always an excellent idea for a music lover but it's up to you to try and feel out how he'd react you getting him something expensive. But like another poster suggested, Nanos and shuffles are also great options! You can even get a Beatles skin for it!

Whatever you get him, I'm sure he'll love it :)

Answer
I am guessing you're doing a theme like "You're 70 years old." But why not take a different spin on it and do a 70's themed gift? How about a lava lamp? It would be funny, go along with the number 70, and could be used as a centerpiece!
You could also do 70's music, 70's inspired jewelry, etc.
