Gifts For Someone With (Almost) Everything

It's that time of year when loved ones buy loved ones that special gift...or, for the unlucky and ill-planned, whatever is left on the shelf. But buying gifts for the titans of finance, the men (and a few women) with almost everything (except a sense of thrift) is never easy. Enlightening books are likely to remain unread by the singularly-driven, whereas more thoughtful tokens such as a poem, one's favorite pressed wildflowers, a short story, or indeed a humorous or poignant blog post are likely to remain under-appreciated. Despair not, however. At least for those UK-based gift-seekers, yours truly has searched high and low (surely "low and high" -ed.) and acquired for re-sale, a selection of number plates assured to be highly prized by the large minds of finance for their Astons and Carrera's alike. Note: these are NOT garish easy-to-source personalized plates, but actually-issued specimens, randomly assigned in the course of issuance - serendipity that should make them all the more valued.   

Bids start at GBP10,000....
