I got one for my dad at 10,000 Villages (like 7 years ago). He specifically asked for a "nice chess set" so I went there and got one that was all handmade stone pieces on a mosaic board. It was classy and one of the most successful gifts I've managed for either of my folks.

Edit: I would also say they had tons of ones that weren't as nice (still the whole Namibia-based artisan-made deal), and the lady said I was lucky to grab one of the top-end ones, as they tend to sell well.

Also, the disappointment of my life was that I never beat him at chess...time to go have a cry
