A bottle stopper gift was suggested so I made a few to pick from. I had forgotten how easy they are to make.
I use Ruth Niles's stoppers. Some are the newer style with four o-rings. (The new ones stand up nicely with the flat!) I like the looks of the brass one on the Olive.
Olive, Purpleheart, B&W Ebony, African Blackwood, Maple.

I tried some end-grain stippling with a small carbide burr in a Dremel tool.
BTW, if anyone is looking for stopper hardware I can personally recommend those made by Ruth Niles. The new "cork" style fits better than even her earlier design which has been copied by several others. https://nilesbottlestoppers.com/stoppers
