Need an idea for my boss for Christmas gift

My boss is an attorney and 67.  The past two years I have gotten him an expensive bottle of scotch so I sort of feel like I can't do that again.  3 years ago I made him a gift basket of different types of beers along with some old western DVD's - he likes westerns.  Now I am just fresh out of ideas.  What do I get a 67 year old man who pretty much has everything? I need to come up with something before I see him tomorrow evening at dinner. Any ideas?

And let me add, too, the things he kind of likes he is a snob about so that makes it hard, too...

In this situation, I think it is totally fine to get another bottle of scotch.  If he loves it, it could be your tradition and something he looks forward to.

What about a set of beer glasses for different types of beer and the beers to go along with it?  I got my dad this set from Bed Bath and Beyond: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=18465779 (or http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=14531980 if you want to go more high-end).  I then went to Total Wine and did a make your own six pack (World Market has this and I'm sure you could get something similar at a local beer store), one for each type of beer glass.
