3 Year Olds "Golden birthday"...what to Get?

My son will be turning 3 on the third, so it is his golden birthday (gift is something gold). I don't know what to get a 3 year old--even if it is just a keepsake/heirloom...money clip comes to mind but I am trying to think a little more outside the box.

Suggestions?

PS: It doesn't actually have to be made of gold...though I'd prefer that. And it doesn't have to be extravagant. I'd also considered taking him gold panning or something...

What can I do next?

I've never heard of this. Interesting!

Perhaps you could get him a Golden Retriever PUPPY!

How about buying him some gold. I know, wackadoodle idea.

I have an associate that just bought his home with $250,000 cash. He cashed in some of the silver he has been buying since he was 13. His grampa bought him a bar of silver way back when it was really cheap. He has been adding to it over the years. Now that precious medals are up again, he's got a nice little nest egg. He's 35 and golfs all day every day!

Or set up a stock account for him and buy Gold Futures.

I have never heard of this before! Sounds neat. Some ideas:
a collection of gold matchbox cars
a set of Little Golden Books
a golden crown he can wear on his b'day then use for dress-up after
a gold superhero cape (check etsy)
a gold medal on a ribbon
a Golden Retriever stuffed animal
a pirate treasure chest with "gold" coins and other booty he can play with

I have not clue 3 year old was a golden birthday, I sure hope 33 is a diamond birthday and if so, pleasssseee send my husband a memo!
If I wanted to give my 3 year old a gold present, would it have to be something she could not lose, so what about a golden coin but don't give it to him, just show it?
Or a "small" picture frame with your picture?
I am having a hard time because any thing I can think are things that I would not give it to him/her so it would have to be something not to expensive so I can also give him a present that he could actually have.

How about a gold box to keep his treasures in?

You can buy or make it.

(Gold colored piggy bank?)
