Practical Gift Ideas for New Professor?

r/

Hello! My spouse is starting his first assistant professor position in the fall, and I’d love to get him some practical gifts/items that he might not realize he needs. He will be in the Dept of Sociology on a pretty large (and hot) campus.
Thanks!

    Some kind of new water bottle with his name or some kind of nickname on it so it can come back to him when he forgets where he put it down.

    Tiny refrigerator for his lunch or milk for coffee etc

    Pad for crappy office chair

    Little air filter (office HVACs are often dusty)
