Let's see as far as "things the board would appreciate", I got a early 1950's vintage bowtie, 1949 copy of Esquire's Handbook for Hosts, a 1940's turned mahogany floor lamp, two pair of cufflinks (one is old British pound coins, and the other is British shillings), and a gift certificate to one of my favorite vintage stores.

I got my girlfriend a gold brocade late 50's/early 60's wiggle dress; 1940's jade scarab bracelet, late 50's/early 60's rust red/greenish brown tweed jacket, 3 pairs of over-the-knee crocheted/knit socks/stockings, and a late 60's cotton plaid casual skirt.

It was a fun Christmas.

Looks like your proselytizing may produce another convert! Well done!!

The proselytizing continues. Yesterday, as a Christmas present, I gave my Dobbs Dayton to the pastor of the church I'm a member of. Looks good on him. I could tell his wife liked it too. Thats always the true test---if the women dig 'em! ;)

There can only be a very few gifts that would warrant waking this thread up. My sister-in-law, Tina's older sister, has always had a comment when I wear the full evening dress. Secretly, she loves it, but her husband just couldn't be seen wearing a bow tie, let alone The Full Monty, so she jests about my appearance. My Christmas gift this year from my sister-in-law. I give you: Tuxedo underpants:

Underwear for men at xmas is a very popular perennial though I have been slapped on xmas day for presenting a carefully chosen similar item in return, to my partner.
Not as sophisticated as Robert's but equally serviceable, these from one of my daughters.

Bawbag, for those of us that don't have Scottish as a first language translates as scrotum and is used by the company to promote gentlemens awareness of gentlemen's health in that area.
