I wanna present for my boss

He is 65 this year and I think I should get him a token gift. I don't want to spend too much - but want to get something original. We work for an aviation law firm, so something aviation related would be good.

HELP!!

    Is it possible to club in with a few other employees (if any?). Then £5-10 in the pot each, and you can get a more significant pressie, without any individuals trying to out do each other?
    You could get a newspaper of the day he was born (jul 1941) which I think you can pick up for about £40-50 (not that I've ever looked into prices - just thought it would be an orginal idea).
    If you can't lub together then a good old bottle of bubbly is traditional, and shows the thought is there - which is the most important thing I suppose.
    Good luck.
