Gift Ideas for a New to Someone Boat

So, I know this is a power boat forum. I post often under bowriders for my 350 CBR. What I am looking for are good ideas for a gift to give my younger brother who just signed a contract on an used 2002 36 foot Beneteau Sailboat.
Sure, the proverbial West Marine gift card does work well, as does a bottle of wine etc.
But, am looking for other good, creative ideas that you might suggest (and 'powerboat' is not one of them that he'll entertain) or maybe something nautical that you received and really appreciated for boating.
The boat is actually in San Diego for the next 45 days while he finishes survey and some shakedown cruises before he sails it up to a slip in LA where he lives.
So, looking for good ideas.
TIA.

Buy his first tank of fuel, I am sure he would appreciate it. (SAILBOATS DO USE FUEL) sometimes.
 
If he?s settled on a name for the boat, something with the name of the boat like a nice wood cutting board or drink glasses or coffee cups. Years ago, we got a set of hand towels with the boat?s name on them, and to this day they?ve never been used, but always displayed, 2 boats later!
 
Embroidered boat towels are always nice. We have had guests bring us those floofy bags packed with with towels sunscreen etc. Very thoughtful and less cheesy and awkward than having them try to slip you gas money at the end of the day. Take it man. Naw don?t worry about it. No really take it. 22x back and forth. Ok Fine....LOL.
