Birthday Gifts for Best Friend: 1st Year Analyst Hardo

Hey monkeys,

Do you guys have any gift recommendations for a first-year investment banking analyst?

I am trying to spend $50-$100. I just bought him a "Lehman Brothers: Employee of the Month, September 2008" shirt. I am thinking of buying him a bottle of booze as well, seeing as it's his 21st, but I'm also curious to see if you guys have any other gift suggestions.

This individual will be starting full-time next year as an analyst at a BB. He recently bought a keyboard during his summer 2018 internship.

In order to ascertain the highest level of tool status on day one:

  1. Gucci giftcard to be used for his first pair of deal sleds.
  2. Juul with accompanying pods. Mango flavored.
  3. Patagonia vest.
