I know this is heresy, but you can buy a pre-matted frame to fit the
size print, get some photo/archival photo tape and do a simple hinge
mount on a pre-cut mat board. An 11x14 gallery frame and all the other
materials will probably run you less than $60.00 at any of the large Art
supply/Craft stores it takes a little effort to put it all together.
The only problem is you'll have to print to fit the mat not mat to fit
the print.

We probably want to do something a bit nicer than just giving it to him in a
costco envelope. I don't know how big we'd go, 8x12, 12x18 or maybe bigger.
Are there cost effective ways of mounting or framing it that look nice, but
don't cost on the order of hundreds of dollars?
