Thanks to my friend Eric for those suggestions. Knowing many engineers, he tells me that gift ideas always depends on the type of engineering…

All tough, anything considered as tickets (good seats) for a show or sports event is always a good idea. There are also expensive gadgets and less expensive ones that could be appreciated like a fancy pencil (Switzerland) with a good reputation and a laser pointer.

Furthermore, Suisse watches (airman style) or leather jackets for airmen are also gifts that distinguish themselves by being very classy.

GPS devices are also a very good idea. It all depends on your budget.

The choice is up to you!
