I'm sure he doesn't think you're a weirdo for giving him gifts. I think he realizes they have meaning for you and it's a thing you do for people. It sounds nice. And it's nothing extravagant.
You mention the rock--I guess I did add a shell I found a few years ago at the beach to Dr. T's collection (with his permission), but I probably couldn't pick it out of a lineup (it was small and whitish, I know).
I don't tend to give random gifts (in general), but I try to put lots of thought into what I give people for Christmas, birthdays, etc. (I was not particularly I used to be into sending cards and only picking ones where I really felt the sentiment, but have gotten away from that.
