Gift for boss

I am leaving my job where I have been working for a number of years and am looking for an appropriate gift to give for my boss. What would be appropriated for a frum male boss?

In most cases it's the other way around. If you want to show appreciation, I would write a very nice letter or a card thanking him for being a great boss. Otherwise, something practical/not-too-personal like posh stationery/pen/small leather items? A nice bottle of wine or whiskey if you know he enjoys drink (though contemporary office protocol is to send it directly to home, not bring it to the office).

We had leaving gifts for male colleagues (not bosses) in the past, like male grooming/travel kit, shaving kit (that was a kind of joke as the leaver wore stubbies), leather monogrammed mousepad, a silver plated hip flask, a shoe tree (also a joke for an ex-colleague who kept his dress shoes under his desk), multinational electric sockets/charger.
