How about something you both can enjoy? Like cozying up by the fireplace, even if you live in an apartment… or in the Caribbean.

George might also look great in a personalized leather collar. $50, Mesa Dreams.

You both think a stiff cocktail after work is just plain civilized. These will make him chuckle. “Good Grief” glasses — as in the five stages of — $28 for a set of two, Set Editions.
