Creative-gifty-diablo3 filter: What else could you put in a DVD/game case where the CD/game usually goes?

My boyfriend's birthday is next week, and I'm buying him the collectors edition of diablo 3. It's ordered, but it's not gonna be anywhere near ready for release by then, I'm sure, and I wanna give him something physical!

So, what I've done so far, is take the insert out of an old game case, used the Diablo font and created my own with a couple in-jokes and I've put his birthday card where the inserts/manual would normally be (fits perfectly, yay!).

BUT - this leaves me with an empty space where the old game was. I don't have a CD burner on my computer so I can't really do much with an actual disc either or else I'd maybe do a playlist or some pictures or something.

What else could I put in the space where the CDs usually go? Help me, hivemind! Totally doesn't have to have anything to do with diablo, but that'd be a bonus anyways.

Also, any other ideas for what I could put in the case/do to the case to make it any more awesome?

Cut a tortilla to fit, and then take him out for Mexican.

If you can do any doodling or drawing, get an old CD and draw something on it (the back) with a fine-point Sharpie.

Alternately, and less personally, find a way to transform the DVD holder into a nipple and the space around it into a breast.

Could you bake a very thin birthday cake?

Or some sort of giant cookie, with candles attached round the end so you can take the cookie out of the box and stick the candles on it?

Chocolate CD? If you google you can probably find some sort of icing or other decorative elements to personalize it.

I'm probably too late, but maybe create a little spell scroll indicating that it can be used to summon the game at the appropriate date? Start with a template like this:

Then simply print out words like:

"Scroll of Diablo III Summoning"

Summoning Spell

Required Magic: Being the Best Boyfriend Ever

Instructions: Deliver the following incantation on or after (date when the game ships): "anonymous is the best girlfriend on Earth, and I am so sorry I will spend the next several months ignoring her while I battle demons in Hell."
