Assalamu Alaikum, I wonder why we have to give a Shaykh something that we know he probably has dozens of, like Tasbihs, Prayer mats, books, etc.....
We should present them with something that we would want people to give us as a gift.

_Once we got a cake for a Mufti Sahab, a nice chocolate cake with his name on it, him and his family loved it. He said that it was the first time he got something that was so personal.
_You could get him a pack of soft drinks with French Fries and fried or baked chicken from home.
_A box of Ice Cream
_Yes..... Chocolates like mmb. suggested
_A Thermos so he can keep his Tea warm.
_A Cup with #1 SHAYKH (embedded) on it.
_Have your child (or yourself) make a Drawing or Painting, print "For My Shaikh with deepest regards" and frame it and give it to him.

I mean it might sound like I am being childish, but Shaykhs are also normal people (but with immense knowledge) and they are like us normal people who like people to treat them normally.

I'm sure I am not making much sense, but............... all I can say is they will appreciate it and enjoy and show and share your gift with their family.

Salaams.
