Short of simply asking the man in your life what he wants for Christmas (which by the way is the best idea), here are a few ideas that might help.

• a gift that relates to his hobby, for instance:
  • computer software - games, book keeping program,
  • fishing gear - flies, tackle box
  • items for the outdoors man - pocket knife, hikers camp stove, compass, maps
  • coins, stamps, what ever he collects
• Tools - screw drivers, needle-nose pliers, rechargeable drill
• Tickets to games, movies, concerts, theatre, local events
• Team Clothing - with the team logo, T-shirt, coat, hat, mug, bumper sticker.
• Date book, binder, brief case, pocket calculator
• Be creative - bake cookies, make candy
