Well, if you live anywhere near Iowa, I know a certain aviation
theme-suites
hotel that happens to sell gift certificates...

Slick opined

I need to do something to say thanks to my CFI, but I can't think of any
grand ideas. I really feel bad for not having to pay him much for
instruction. I'm going for my exam at 41hrs.

From what I have seen of CFIs, food is a good place to start.

A good friend of mine once said that the two best gifts in the world were
cash and liquor. You never heard of anyone returning a bottle of scotch and
cash always goes well with the way they decorate their living room.

A nice photo is always appreciated, as is lunch or dinner.

I've still got the old pen desk set that a student gave me years ago...

I'm not a flight instructor, but have been in the aviation biz since
the early 80's.

It was/is surprising to me how few sincere "thank you's" get handed
out in this business.

A "you really did an excellent job, thank you" and a pat on the back
goes a long way in General Aviation, trust me.

Give him one of my books. That's what I do

Seriously, a book is always in order. Among the great aviation reads
are Flight of Passage, by Rinker Buck; and Winged Victory, by Victor
Yeates, the latter being a WWI novel.

How about giving him some credit on his account? Some CFIs can't
afford to fly themselves and it can be fun to get to fly for "fun".
Even putting 1/2 hour on his account may make him happy.

You might want to pass the test first!
