Wolfgang:
Here are three lists. Traditional, Modern and something creative with a bit of 
humor.
Giving more than one or two choices is a good idea.
Although paper, for the 1st year may seem cheap, actually one could be very 
creative: Deeds, savings bonds, treasuries etc. You get the idea.
But it gives the buyer options and food for thought.
