Ask HN: What can I buy for my fiancé's fussy father-in-law's birthday

Interested in market/economics as in he's a professional (or extremely serious individual investor), or interested as in he's a hobbyist who likes reading finance news and occasionally making "cool" investments?

He's an ex-economics teacher (now retired) that does pretty well in the market. I'd say he's in the category of hobbyist who likes reading finance news, too.

Thanks!

So I'm probably getting blinded by availability bias bc you said finance, but these T-shirts look solid. I can't really think of anything etsy-like that would fit. I'd assume he's a fairly cynical guy:

Alternatively, screw the finance part and just go for something cool. How does he feel about drones?
