Not sure if any of these are good but:


Artscroll Shas iPad (talmudo byado ;))

Depending how many kids (grandkids?) there are - matching siyum? (Or mesayem a seder lechvodo)

Leather bound shas

Shtender

Shas cake

some very good ideas.
Relatively small family so matching siyum would not be realistic.
Where can you get such a cake?

Think Strauss Bakery in BP made a similar cake for the aguda daf yomi siyum hashas a few years back. I imagine most of the bakeries or boutique at home bakeries could do it (assuming they do custom and you show them pics/describe vividly enough what you want). Not sure where you're located but I have a sister in law in Lakewood that does custom cakes if you want pm for her contact.

A letter from each kid expressing their pride would be priceless.

Or video with a clip from each one. (proper preparation for each kid would be important).


I think something tangible, rather than a cake that's soon gone.


Even a gift not shas related.
breifcase, wine cooler, golf clubs. whatever would be something he'd enjoy or feel special having. Bonus points for something  he really wants, but wouldn't splurge for.

In this vein, a montage of people wishing him mazal tov. Bonus points for choshuve leaders he respects and holds in high regard.
Failing at maintaining Lurker status.

A shutterfly book with 1 page for each family member to express their mazal tov. Can include pictures of each person on next to their message.
