that's cool and all, but us, been married for a while folk, know that when it comes to things for our hobbies, sometimes not buying gifts in the hobby (unless explicit direction is given) is the best gift.

It would be like him trying to buy you a pair of shoes. Sure he'd try hard, but 95% chance they'd not be something you'd like, the wrong size, or something you already had

I would get him a shift boot.

http://www.redlinegoods.com/EvoXshiftboot.shtm

The stock shift boot is probably the ugliest part on the car and for $49, it's a huge improvement for the money! The only difficulty is choosing suede or leather. I chose black leather with white double stitching.

Don't get that momo knob you posted. I had a similar one from Momo, the knob isn't threaded, instead you force three screws onto the sides to hold it in place. After a while it always came loose again for me and i had to tighten it. Eventually i got tired of it after a year and removed it. Plus those get really hot in the summer.
