Laurie,
I love what decided upon. How very symbolic. I bet he'll be touched. Don't be nervous, or maybe admit to being nervous right at the get go. That way he'll know how important this is to you.
Yalom, by the way, does not advocate "no gifts". He does however encourage an exploration of why the giver is giving the gift and why they chose what they did. So in this case you've already explained both of those things.
Good Luck! I'll be waiting to hear how it goes.
