I need to do something to say thanks to my CFI, but I can't think of any
grand ideas. I really feel bad for not having to pay him much for
instruction. I'm going for my exam at 41hrs.

Money works for me. Perhaps you could buy him some time in the plane
for himself. Since he is married, you could always give him a ham or
some steaks.
Continue on with your instrument rating, after your privite, and use
this instructor. Let everyone know how great he is and recruit new
students for him. I have had many former students let me know how much
they enjoy flying and this is thanks enough for me. Who am I kidding,
I still like cash. lol
Merry Christmas

From what I have seen of CFIs, food is a good place to start.

If it is just the CFI, tickets to a concert go down well.
In my own case, many people in the flight school had helped me, so I had
a caterer take everyone lunch with a card of thanks.

Tony, its probably easier for you, being a successful motivational
speaker and all.

A good friend of mine once said that the two best gifts in the world were
cash and liquor. You never heard of anyone returning a bottle of scotch and
cash always goes well with the way they decorate their living room.

I'm married. What is it about the fact that I'm married that makes "ham or
some steaks" a particularly suitable Christmas gift for me?

Because I don't think you'd be interested in loose women, and the OP
is underage for purchasing alcohol.

I think this was a response after my wise crack.

A nice photo is always appreciated, as is lunch or dinner.

Happily married means that she won't mind another woman in the bedroom!
Not many of us are THAT happily married!

Unfortunately, I'm not old enough to buy the booze, and he's happily
married.
