AHHHH...
It's nice that you think of you partner like that
Ok try this site they have books etc and you could get a magazine subscription for 12 months . My favourite is airliner world and the Flight Deck like to always borrow it from me .

Also have you thought of a 60's Airline poster of his Airline, If he works for British Airways ...But something funky !!
Also try EBAY , I know its second hand goods but some things are great .
Good luck and Merry Christmas
