Not much 80s candy refrenced in that book, however arcade games are a major part of the book,
also here is the songs mentioned in the book:

another gift idea
2112 is an excellent album that the book revolved around at some points, that is what I would give as well as the atari game and maybe a hard cover of the book?
it is up to your imagination, I suggest getting a copy for yourself and reading it because it is a very fun book!
^ that would be a cool thing to add to the gift as well, they reference atari a lot in the book!
