Gift for Associate Promotion

Hi all, 

Any recommendations for a gift for boyfriend's associate promotion? Currently an analyst at an IB & he'll be going to associate. Unlimited budget, looking to avoid things like the Ferragamo ties etc, what do you all think are great gifts you'd love to receive? 

 

Unlimited budget? Maybe a custom 747 jet or a Bugatti.

A Patek watch would be super dope seriously.

A sloppy Bj is an underrated best gift.

Threesomes also make great gifts. Put the budget into a romantic night out at one of his favorite restaurants to start and some hot outfits for when you get home (or perhaps a hotel room?), he'll remember it for decades to come.

Personally, here are the ones that I think would be good options. It really depends on what their interest are and how they like to spend their time so if you have some info there, happy to give more ideas

  • Vacation - pay for flights and hotel to get a way for a long weekend. Maybe some activities your bf really enjoys, some nice dinners and just some relaxation to unplug for a bit
  • Nice Watch - Can give plenty of recommendations here but an Omega or Jaegar are ones I think work well
  • Nice bottle of something - If they are into wine or scotch then I think this works really well. You can just ball out on something Lafite Rothschild or Mac 25
 

If he likes whiskey I second that. Plenty of bottles that are way to expensive to justify buying myself, as gift they’d be awesome tho.

I’ve heard some of the best gifts are nicer items they wouldn’t normally buy in hobbies they like. So like a really nice bottle of whiskey or wine, nice suit if they really like suits, top end workout gear if they like the gym, stuff like that.
