It is very hard to pick a gift for someone we do not know. You have given us no information to go on.
I love to cook, but never do and never would wear an apron. If someone gave me one as a gift I would be gracious and thank them and put it on and then once they were gone I would take it off and never wear it again.
Sorry I can't be more help, but without knowing this person you are buying for I would just be naming random things with no reasoning.

What is your friend's cooking style? Is there a tool/pot/pan/gadget that you could get that he would appreciate?
Again, as GB said, we need more information before offering specific advice.
P.S. I agree with GB as far as the apron is concerned. I'm not sure your friend would care for/use it.

Well, to be honest, I started wearing my ex's apron just last week. Granted, it was blue and pink with a white bunny on it, and my neighbor caught me wearing it without a t-shirt under it while I was dumping the trash in the chute. Whoops. Anyhoo, I've been wearing a lot now, cuz it's really convenient.
I don't know what kind of information to give you. I can't be too specific... if I could, then I wouldn't need any help! He's turning 25, has a wife, cooks and enjoys it but doesn't do it that often (once a week? maybe twice?) and is trying to do more these days. They don't cook a lot of meat as the wifey's a vegetarian. What else? hmmmmmm.

Give him a sprouting kit so he can be nicey nice to his DW
sepandee,
Not sure where you live, Home Goods has some red apron plus two gloves All-Clad sets for $10 or $15. They look fine to me, but as ref. my apron is a Home Depot one I got at a class there so I am not exactly a fashion benchmark, if you know what I mean.

I love my silicone gloves/mits. They are great for picking up a whole chicken off the grill (or other whole hunka' meat!). I seriously don't know what I did before I got them!
They are also good for pulling things out of the oven.

Humm .... my best suggestion would be a Kevlar bulletproof vest - for when wifey learns about you wearing his apron ... 
If you want to get him a manly cooking apron - try one of these sites.

Any way, I got 4 sets of those red and/or black silicone glove sets w/trivets last Christmas. They actually come in handy, as I'll use them, take them off some where and when I need them again, I have to go looking for them! This way I always have a set hanging around waiting to be used ditto to the Kevlar vest
How about a nice pepper mill set?

Get him a good knife. Everyone needs a good knife!
I suggest a Tojiro DP, either a santoku or a smallish gyuto.
