Although it seems boring, if you know/or can find out what kind of strings in particular he uses (brand name/string model/string gauge), a bulk set might be in order. I change strings on my 8 electrics quite often so a 25-pack of D'addario's (example) make sense for me. But I know a lot of the factory made string brands make multipacks.
You mentioned picks not being very special. I agree, but several dozen of his favorite kind is an awesome gift. It doesn't say 'clever' but it is certainly practical. I also like basic options like this because it is viable across all budgets. (example)
If your boyfriend is a more academic guitarist, get some cool music books. Maybe hes mentioned wanting to learn some modern jazz theory, classical guitar techniques, or even just wants a transcription of the Led Zeppelin discography. A hardcopy book just does things that an online .pdf or video can't do, and vice-versa. (example)
Lastly, find a good guitar teacher in your area and pre pay for a lesson or two. I've been playing for 15 years and have had some highly talented professional musicians as teachers, but I would still get a huge kick out of a blind lesson. I would like to note that in order for this kind of gift to be effective, you're going to need to do a bit of research. In addition, if you are stuck between a few good candidates, I would go for the pricier and more experienced one. Quality over quantity!
For tangible goods, support a local mom&pop music store if you can. I use amazon and guitar center when I don't have a choice but I worry that my future children won't have the benefit of visiting local/old/music shops like I did.
Good luck!
