Okay, so you can't really buy immortality, but you can make sure their name lives on. For the person who has everything... How about naming a star after them? You can, through the Ministry of Federal Star Registration, match anyone's name to a visible star that has not yet been officially named. This copyrighted registration is then preserved for posterity. Now that is a gift that will last forever.
ideas...

Even if they have metaphorically speaking got everything, you can give them a 'darning mushroom'. It's a piece of wood (in the shape of a mushroom) that you stuff down your socks that have holes in them, making it easier to sew the holes up to create lovely socks once more...............................how do I know so much about this??

That would be nifty, as long as it was a really cool bug. I mean, I wouldn't want some ugly new breed of roaches named after me. YUCK! On the other hand, a pretty butterfly, or perhaps a beautiful plant, with big fragrant blossoms... now that would be neat

Well, just go and spoil the whole immortality gift, by pointing out that we are all immortal. 
*sigh* Back to the ol' drawing board. How about a nice lace doiley? No wait. I know, a portable hole! Now that would be handy.
