    do you want it associated with paper? A book? A framed poem (very cheap, and money saving ;) ).

    when i was in america i found a book about origame figures, but for paper they used money. looked really cool, perhaps you could check out the local library for origami books?

    a slightly more exciting way of giving someone money, anyway :)

    another idea which i have used for OH is to buy him a "rest of our life book".

    basically its a really nice photo album, with a few photos and bits and bobs from our time together so far (tickets from things we've been to etc), with the rest of the pages left blank to be filled in as we meander our way through "the rest of our life" together
