Help please!Background: I have been with my boyfriend for over ten years, since we were in high school. Throughout this time (after high school) he has been studying and got his bachelor's and master's before studying to become a doctor. He finally finished his degree this month.I have been planning for years to buy something special to mark this huge achievement and always planned on buying him a first edition of his favourite book. (I have never spoken to him or hinted about this so he has no clue, and also that means that I really don't know whether he will appreciate or treasure the sentiment..)Speaking to friends recently, they have all said whilst it is very sentimental, he might not appreciate it the way I would hope and suggest maybe it's better to buy him something else.My friend has suggested I buy him a nice bag/briefcase, a leather one of his favourite designer/brand. I have found a bag and also a book and they are roughly the same price (within $200 of one another).My other options which I had but am not too keen on: - overseas holiday next year - a new iPhone (this won't last, and in a couple years he will have gotten rid of it) - a vintage omega watch (It's bad luck in our culture to give watches so my mum put me off this)Any perspectives would be appreciated. via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/e8o5ls/graduation_gift_decision_for_boyfriend/?utm_source=ifttt
