The best gift depends on the relationship

Q: My sister and her husband are invited to an adult naming ceremony. It is a celebration of a female transsexual, who is now officially a man. My brother-in-law used to be this individual's boss. They are both fond of this person and wanted to arrive with the appropriate gift. What ideas do you have?

A: This is a great question. So much of gift giving depends on the relationship between the people. If it was mainly a business relationship, then something business-related (a snazzy tie, a man's briefcase, professional stationery, a business card holder with his new initials engraved on it). If everyone has a great sense of humor, something such as a subscription to GQ magazine or an etiquette book for men might be fun. Either way, going to help celebrate and being there to show your support is the best gift your sister and her husband can give.
