Piment d'Espelette is fancy chili powder. My guess is that you could substitute a normal chili powder and not lose all that much. Make sure you taste throughout, though. The stuff they were going to send you was probably of a specific strength.

A few of my favorites:

Piment d'Espelette - originated as a Mexican pepper but now highly prevalent in Basque cuisine - Thomas Keller uses this in place of typical black pepper in most of his dishes...
Ground Sumac - personally, I use this in a lot of my Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes - it's got some interesting citrus-like notes without adding acidity...
Whole Cardomom Pods - I freaking love whole cardomom pods - to the point that I will drop a pods in a bottle of water, let it rest for a couple of hours, and enjoy the diffused menthol-esque flavor. Oh yeah, this will change and homemade curry powder for the better.

Hell, while you are at it, get him a spice grinder if he doesn't already make his own Garam Masala - one of those small differences that are completely worth the extra steps, especially if you toast the spices beforehand.
