What is a good gift to give a newly ordained priest?

I'm wondering what to give a friend, a Dominican who will be ordained tomorrow, as a gift… Any ideas?  I got this book called The Grace to Be a Priest, by Father Romanus Cessario, a Dominican.

Normally I'd say "CASH - One size fits all," but he - having vowed poverty - would just have to turn it over to his superior. So my next best suggestion is food - any kind of food!

(And as far as books by other Dominicans, he's probably already been required to read them - and maybe even report on 'em, don'cha guess?)

I have given several of the seminarians I went to school with reconciliation stoles. The ones they all use are cheap things. I like the idea of a nice one. It’s as important as the stokes they wear for mass. It reminds them that confession and last rights are also sacraments.
