What should the Cabinet get the PM?

The Times reports today that the Cabinet has held a whip round for leaving presents for Blair and Prescott and that they’ve got £1,600 to spend on the two of them. What should they give Blair apart from a card saying thanks for the majorities?

The gift can’t be too extravagant as that would upset Harriett Harman while the traditional engraved silver salver seems, well, a bit Tory. So, they need a third way. If you have a suitably New Labour solution to this problem, do leave it in the comments.
