So, let me get this straight alex. You're suggesting that after the client cuts himself with the sword set, he applies the bacon band-aids, then uses the i-phone to make a reservation at the BMW Driving School, then shows up in the neglig?? Must be one hell of an interesting client.

With the 3rd quarter out of the way, it's looking like I should plan on getting some appreciation gifts for a few people who are involved with a large client of mine. In particular, 75% of my income comes from a company owned by one man.
Problem is, he is hugely successful and could buy anything that he needs or wants. What would you suggest as a gift and please be specific. I'm thinking in the $500 range or under. Age is early 60's, location is central united states, fairly active, enjoys a drink every once in a while, values family and treats employees great.
Thanks,

Based on some of the values you portrayed you might want to find out if there is a charitable organization or group in need that a contribution / donation in his name would have great and longer lasting value. Examples include scholarship donations to local schools, hospice or religious organizations, etc.
Great minds think alike Luigi!! (check out post#18)!!
