Gifts for First YR Analyst

Looking for a gift for incoming IB analyst (my boyfriend). Thinking Barbour jacket, leather desk pad, is something related to work a good idea? Early 20s.... looking to spend around $200/$330, not opposed to stocks but need some guidance. Suggestions wanted!!! 

 

Other potential good ideas that don't have to break the bank but are a nicer touch

-wallet / card holder (know lots of men tend to hold one for a long time w/o replacing and it gets a bit worn looking)

-stone island (or similar higher end brand) vest or sweater (can be worn for work and also casually)

-wine / beer subscription if he likes alcohol

-tickets for a concert or event (e.g. if he has a favorite artist / type of music, experiences can be very memorable without adding more clutter if he is more minimalist)

 

First off, you're awesome for wanting to treat him. Being really honest, a lot of dudes don't get flowers much in their lives, so if you want this to be memorable on top of any material object you are going to give him, I can almost guarantee that the flowers will make it a gift he'll never forget.

The other suggestions for gifts on the thread are great already just wanted to throw that in :)
