We'll give the apprentice ( Who will no longer be apprentice after December 22, but hired guy) 3 bottles of different Swiss fruit brandies and 4 bags of Sp?tle noodles.
Both are things he fell in love with during our company trip to Schweiz this summer, so they should bring back some good memories.
I had my wife pick it up last week when she visited family down there.
As graduation present he gets an all expenses paid trip to California to climb giant Sequoias.
He'll have to wait untill we have saved up for it, though.
I don't like giving money, will rather give something that expresses the fact that I've put some careful thought into the gift.
P.S. Sp?tle was supposed to be A umlaut, but something is wrong with the workings of the forum.
