Out of curiousity, what is an appropriate gift? I have vast amounts of stuff that is, although nifty, somewhat useless. (for example, SIMM's for your printer, some old Mac software, remote control blimp accessories, etc.)
Then again, I might just go with my old standard-several pounds of imported japanese candy, with some dried and salted squid. You can't eat pocky without squid, you know.
