Novelty gift for a friend with a liver tumour

Riiiiiight, long story short, a friend of mine had a grapefruit sized tumour removed his from liver and next week he's having a party to celebrate the fact that he's still alive and cancer free. Obviously, since we're wonderful friends, we want to get him a gift but the only things that were springing to mind were liver or a grapefruit signed by us all. Any suggestions as to what we could get him would be great. There'll be anywhere between 5 and 25 people chipping in on this depending on price, so money's really no object.

    Well, this would depend largely on the recipient, but since it was on the liver, how about a flask? To the right person, from the right group of friends, that could be awesome (or horribly, horribly awkward).

    Giant plush microbes are good, but IIRC (and I probably don't) most cancer isn't caused by microbes.

    How bout a nice plush liver instead?
    If the liver doesn't ring your bell, there's a wide assortment of other organs available.

    I totally misread this title. Wow.

    Cancer is indeed not usually caused by microbes, but I do like see317's plush liver. It looks so happy.

    I'd go with a fruitbasket of grapefruits and that plush liver hidden in it.

    Get a few t-shirts made up with "tumour, I didn't even know her!" printed on them. ~.~

    Depending on you and your friend's sense of humor (and how dark it is) . . . a bottle if chianti and some fava beans.

    Pâté de foie gras is both relevant and delicious.

    If you have that many people pitching in, you should do up a big gift basket with a bunch of smaller things in it: by having a plurality of items, you minimize the awkwardness if one particular gag gift falls flat.
