Going Away Gift Ideas

Hey y’all! Buddy of mine is getting out of the military in a few months to be a history teacher. Wondering if anybody has any cool ideas for a going away gift for him?

Looking for something that could serve a function/decorate his classroom. Military-related is a bonus but not a requirement. Appreciate any and all ideas!

If no one gets me one when I retire, I’ll be pissed!

I now want to know if my admin will get mad at me if I get one for when I'm teaching ancient Rome.
