Looking for a gift?

Great Advice! :P

Presents made to friends, should consist of articles likely to be often in view and in use, so that they may frequently and agreeably bring the giver to memory,--as for example, diamonds or snuff-boxes.

Indeed...although snuff tobacco rather fell out of fashion, so I doubt a male friend of mine would appreciate a snuffbox...and aren't diamonds rather expensive gifts? Why would one want to make one's friends feel awkward?!
