The Linnean Society has a very small online shop. You can order the society's publications but the most unusual objects are a Tercentenary Wedgwood Medallion and Bronze Medal. The Bronze Medal is in a limited edition of only 300 and, last I looked, still seem to be available.
The portrait medallion of Linnaeus is one of several variants of the famous Wedgwood profile. It was originally made in 1775 by the English sculptor John Flaxman (1775-1826), and derives from one of the wax portraits of 1773 by C.F. Inlander. I think the medallion makes an original present for the botanist, zoologist and general natural historian.
