Ready to have all your guy gift-giving woes resolved? Great, let’s get to it.
Gift Ideas for Men Who Have Everything
Earthen Tomato Leaf Candle
Fresh, earthy, and grown-man approved — it smells like he finally figured out what to do with that herb garden fantasy he talked about for a week in May. This isn’t your basic vanilla-on-clearance situation. The scent profile is surprisingly addictive — think green tomato vines after a summer rain, with a hint of citrus and crushed leaves. It’s subtle but distinctive, clean without smelling like a department store floor. Oh, and the aesthetic? Matte ceramic vessel in a warm clay tone that actually looks good sitting out — no fake frosted glass in sight. It’s the kind of gift he didn’t know he wanted, but will absolutely start lighting “just to set the vibe.” Ideal for the guy who pretends he doesn’t notice ambiance but absolutely does. Smells like good taste — literally.
Full Body Brick Portrait
This isn’t just a headshot with blocky yellow skin and dead eyes. It’s a handcrafted, hilariously accurate, full-body tribute in brick art to the man in your life — with ridiculous attention to detail. Think: personalized outfit, favorite accessory, even a background scene if he’s more “stormtrooper on the weekend” than “standard office guy.” It’s equal parts art, in-joke, and humblebrag. And unlike yet another tech toy or grill utensil kit, this is one-of-a-kind, made by real artists who know their way around tiny plastic bricks better than most people know their way around IKEA instructions.
Bottom line: it’s weird, charming, and totally unexpected — which also happens to be a pretty solid description of your guy. Give him the kind of gift that’s guaranteed to make him smirk, then immediately show off to every single person who walks through your door. Or his door. You get credit either way.
Happy Birthday Money Tree
This Happy Birthday Money Tree is an actual plant, not a metaphor for your dwindling savings. It’s low-maintenance (like all ideal relationships), undeniably charming, and comes with a cheeky gold “Happy Birthday” pick that says, “I remembered and I care — but, you know, in a cool way.”
This isn’t just another houseplant destined to die a slow, crunchy death on a forgotten windowsill. The money tree is famously hardy, thrives in indirect light, and practically takes care of itself — which makes it perfect for plant-newbies, commitment-phobes, or any guy who’s better at collecting sneakers than watering schedules. Plus, according to feng shui lore, it brings luck and fortune. Can’t hurt.
So when you’ve exhausted all the usual ideas — tech gadgets he already one-click ordered for himself, cologne he never wears — go for something alive. Weirdly personal, easy to care for, and a little bit magical. Basically, the opposite of gifting another pair of novelty socks.
Interactive Training Cube
Each side of the cube is a different hand-eye coordination challenge—think improved dexterity, reaction training, and a subtle flex of fine motor skills. It lights up, times you, and gives instant feedback for each mini game, nudging that competitive streak just enough to keep him from putting it down. He’ll think he’s just fiddling with a fun desk toy, but really? He’s sharpening coordination and focus like a fringe benefit. It’s oddly addictive—and yes, he’ll time himself repeatedly just to beat his own score. You’ll catch him zoning in like he’s defusing a bomb, not outplaying a cube.
If he’s the type who fancies himself calm under pressure or just likes to win at things, this makes for a clever curveball of a gift. Bonus: it doesn’t require Wi-Fi, can’t be argued with, and won’t end up in that drawer of tech regrets. Practical, playful, and just competitive enough to keep his ego engaged. He’ll love it—and you’ll look like a gift-giving genius.
Multicolor 3D Wooden World Map
Some guys collect stamps. Others pick up hobbies like home brewing or woodworking. And then there are the guys who just casually want a giant 3D wooden map of the world on their wall — because *aesthetic* and also, who wouldn’t want to own an entire planet rendered in Baltic birch?
This multicolor wooden world map is one of those rare finds that screams “conversation starter” without trying too hard. Laser-cut for absurdly clean edges and precision-fit, each piece clicks into place like a giant, grown-man-approved puzzle. He can flex his geography skills while assembling it (or quietly Google where Kyrgyzstan goes — no judgment). There’s no border-bloating fluff here — just a slick, modern design that adds instant edge to any office, den, or “I swear I’m not still in college” apartment wall.
Bonus points: it comes in multiple sizes and colors, so you can tailor it to your guy’s exact flavor of cool. Wall art that looks global but feels personal? You just won gift-giving, my friend.
Night Sky Word Art Canvas
This isn’t just a star map. It’s *his* star map — the exact night sky from a moment that means something (you pick the date, time, and place). Maybe it’s when you met, your first concert together, or that weekend you both pretend wasn’t a camping trip disaster. Add a custom message to immortalize the moment, and boom — it’s officially more sentimental than socks. Bonus points: it actually looks good on a wall (read: no LED glow, deer print, or football theme in sight).
If you’re aiming for a gift that says “I know you” without screaming “I panicked and got this on sale,” this is it. It’s romantic without being corny, personal without being overkill, and meaningful without veering into Hallmark card territory. Now that’s stellar gifting. Literally.
Playful Poop Emoji Chocolates
It’s ridiculous. It’s immature. It’s also kind of brilliant. These cheeky little chocolate turds are giving middle-school humor with grown-man execution. He gets to laugh like a 12-year-old and snack like an adult (assuming he’s not too proud to admit chocolate is still king). It’s the kind of gift that doesn’t try too hard—but absolutely succeeds at being memorable. Plus, there’s a secret bonus: now *you* get to say, “I literally gave you crap for your birthday.” You’re welcome.
Perfect as a stocking stuffer, a random Tuesday surprise, or a lighthearted add-on to something more “serious,” these emoji-inspired treats are a harmless way to poke fun while still showing up with chocolate in hand. Zero pressure, maximum payoff.
Belly Button Brush with Elegant Black Handle
There’s pampering, and then there’s *this*. A belly button brush with an elegant black handle is the kind of ridiculous luxury he didn’t know he needed — and now he’ll never un-need. It’s the peak of “treat yourself” absurdity, gift-wrapped in minimalist design and just enough function to be taken (somewhat) seriously. He’s got every gadget, grooming kit, and gadget *about* grooming kits — but does he have a tool exclusively for navel hygiene? Exactly.
This little brush was made for the guy who appreciates detail — we’re talking the kind of man who irons his t-shirts or owns a beard comb that costs more than your haircut. Built with extra-soft bristles and a slim handle in an understated matte black (because even belly brushing deserves style), it’s designed to gently clean the forgotten crevice of human anatomy with surgical precision. Weird flex? Maybe. But it works.
Whether it joins his skincare shelf next to the artisanal face serum or lives in his dopp kit as a party trick/conversation piece, it’s quietly brilliant. Equal parts practical and hilarious — just like him. Which, honestly, makes it the perfect gift.
Box of Nothing
He says he wants *nothing* for his birthday, huh? Congratulations—you can finally take him literally. This “Box of Nothing” is exactly what it sounds like: an actual empty box. But not just *any* empty box. It’s a clever, tongue-in-cheek gift for the guy who truly already has everything, and insists he needs nothing more. Congratulations, king. Your throne awaits—in cardboard form.
It’s surprisingly satisfying to hand over a neatly packaged box labeled “Nothing” and watch the confusion slowly morph into a smirk. Because let’s be honest: if he refuses to give you ideas, this is what happens. The box itself is lightweight, decently sized (about the dimensions of a shoebox), and includes a printed message explaining that he is indeed receiving what he asked for. It’s the perfect combo of petty and playful—aka the energy we all aspire to during the holidays.
Great as a gag, but also kind of genius. He can keep it around as ironic desk décor, or repurpose it for actual storage—maybe for other unnecessary things he’s accumulated, like a tenth pair of noise-canceling headphones. At the very least, you’ll get a laugh and a “touché.” Sometimes, nothing *is* the best gift money can buy.
Mixed Wine Subscription Experience
He’s got the rare Japanese whisky. The limited-edition leather sneakers. The coffee beans that shipped from a single estate in Peru. So what do you get the guy who impulse-buys his own luxury? Something indulgent he can’t Amazon Prime to his doorstep — like a curated wine tasting experience that shows up month after month. Enter: the Mixed Wine Subscription from Firstleaf.
This isn’t your supermarket six-pack. It’s a personalized box of six bottles, tailored to his taste through a quick quiz and a smart algorithm that adapts with each shipment. Red, white, rosé, whatever mood he’s in — Firstleaf sorts it out with options from award-winning vineyards around the world. They keep the labels fresh (read: not grocery store repeats), and there’s built-in flexibility to pause, skip, or cancel with zero drama. Basically, he gets to be picky without lifting a finger.
And let’s be honest — gifting him this is kind of a win for you too. Because “trying a new wine together” beats “watching him research grills for four hours” any day of the week. If you’re going for a gift that’s low-key brilliant and feels way more thoughtful than it was hard, this is it. Salute.
1,000 Must-See Destinations
The guy who’s seen it all probably hasn’t *actually* seen it all—but this book might get him dangerously close. 1,000 Must-See Destinations isn’t just another travel coffee table accessory (though it *will* look smugly nice on one). It’s a bucket list in print, packed with global adventures, iconic landmarks, and under-the-radar locales he didn’t even know he wanted to visit—until now.
This isn’t some rushed tourist guide; it’s a curated wanderlust bible for the man who keeps “experience” at the top of his wishlist. Whether he’s a passport stamp collector, an armchair traveler, or just someone who needs a little nudge to finally book that trip to Patagonia, this book delivers the goods. It’s part inspiration, part borderline challenge: how many of these 1,000 can he knock out before someone gifts him the sequel?
File this under: things he didn’t ask for, but will low-key obsess over. Great for the guy who already owns every gadget but hasn’t yet eaten street food in Osaka or seen the Northern Lights in-person. Consider your “what do I even get him?” problem officially solved.
New York Times Birthday Book
He already buys himself every new gadget the second it drops, so no, you’re not beating him to the punch with the latest tech. But a time capsule of *his* life? Now that, he definitely doesn’t own. The New York Times Birthday Book is a hardcover collection of front pages from every birthday he’s had since he was born — like a personalized walk through history, minus the high school textbook vibes.
This is the kind of gift that makes people pause mid-party. Each year’s front page is pulled straight from the Times’ archives, printed on real newspaper stock and bound in a custom cover embossed with his name and birthdate. It’s weirdly compelling to flip through: world events, headlines, what the market was doing — all on the day *he* showed up. It’s thoughtful without being gushy, nostalgic without being kitschy, and exactly the type of thing he wouldn’t think to get himself (finally).
Whether he’s a history guy, a news junkie, or just loves being the center of attention on his birthday — this one hits. Major bonus points if he’s impossible to shop for, because somehow it feels personal *and* impressive. Which, let’s be honest, is the unicorn of gift-giving.
Antique Brass Nautical Sundial Compass
A Rolex tells time. This tells a story. The Antique Brass Nautical Sundial Compass isn’t just a “cool desk piece” — it’s the kind of object that makes other objects question their existence. Functional? Technically yes. But more importantly, it’s got that old-world adventurer energy, like it just washed up from Captain Nemo’s personal effects.
This gift is for the man who has everything — and by everything, we mean the gadgets, the gear, the tech, and the espresso machine that costs more than your first car. What he doesn’t have is a hand-engraved brass compass that also works as a sundial, which is frankly just showing off in the classiest way possible. It folds into a compact case, feels satisfyingly weighty in the hand, and looks like it should come with a mysterious map leading to treasure. Spoiler: the real treasure is that he’ll actually be *impressed* you found this.
Whether it ends up on his office shelf or in his literal pocket on a whim (he’s that guy), this is one of those gifts that gets noticed. A little nostalgic, a little eccentric, and decisively not something he already bought for himself.
Birch Frame Crossword Print
He already has the watch. The whiskey decanter. The overpriced speaker that could double as a piece of modern art. So now what? Here’s the move: you turn his brain into décor—with the Birch Frame Crossword Print. Minimalist, clever, and only obvious after a second glance (just like him), this is wall art that actually says something. Literally.
Pairing clean design with custom content, this crossword-style print lets you turn your inside jokes, favorite places, pets, dates, or whatever weird little lexicon the two of you share into a personalized puzzle. The black and white motif keeps things sharp, while the warm birch frame adds a bit of quiet sophistication—basically, the print version of his “trying not to care that much” aesthetic. He won’t expect it, and that’s kind of the point. It’s custom without being cliché, meaningful with zero sap. Display-worthy proof that you know him better than his Spotify algorithm ever will.
Nine Portraits Framed Art
This one is like giving the gift of good taste, minus the pressure of explaining your choice. This piece is a gallery of nine vintage-style portraits—equal parts quirky, moody, and somehow deeply dignified—framed together to look like a collection a world-traveling gentleman might have casually curated over a lifetime. Except your guy just gets to hang it on the wall and reap the compliments.
This isn’t art that takes itself too seriously, and neither should he. It’s statement-making without shouting, refined without being a snob about it—and frankly, it’s a lot cooler than pretending he wants another toolset. Whether he hangs it behind his desk to flex on Zoom calls or places it in the hallway to confuse guests (are these real people? should I know them?), it brings a thoughtful, “yeah I have taste” vibe to any space. No artistic pretension required.
Drowsy Beauty Sleep Collection
Has he been surviving on four hours of sleep, two espresso shots, and sheer male stubbornness? Here is the *Drowsy Beauty Sleep Collection*. This isn’t some lavender-scented marketing gimmick—it’s next-level sleep gear dressed up like a spa weekend for his face.
The silk eye mask is the MVP here, and not the flimsy kind you grab in a travel kiosk. We’re talking padded, blackout-level, airport-grade stealth. Paired with a serum duo that sounds fancy (and frankly, is), this kit plays defense while he sleeps—hydrating, smoothing, and quietly convincing him skincare isn’t just “a thing women do.” Plus, everything comes in a minimalist box that screams luxury, not effort.
Gift this to your guy who has everything… except eight hours of uninterrupted, quality sleep and a face that doesn’t scream “office stress.” It’s calming, indulgent, and honestly? Makes your nightstand look better too.
Explorer’s Guide to Hidden Wonders
If his idea of a good time involves dodging crowds, whispering “how did I not know about this,” and insisting on finding the bar *behind* the bar then no, he doesn’t need another travel book filled with tourist traps and stock photos. What he *does* need is the Explorer’s Guide to Hidden Wonders — a global scavenger hunt disguised as a coffee table book.
This isn’t just a “guide,” it’s practically a dare. Packed with over 700 off-the-radar destinations — think flaming gas craters, underwater sculpture parks, and borderline-illegal theme parks — this book doesn’t just inspire wanderlust, it demands a passport stamp or two. Meticulously researched by Atlas Obscura’s team of curiosity-driven adventurers, it’s equal parts encyclopedia, roadmap, and delightful rabbit hole.
Gift this to the man who thinks he’s seen it all, and watch him start planning a detour to a desert ghost town between meetings. There’s a reason this book’s developed a bit of a cult following… it’s the kind of gift that says “I get you” and “please don’t make me go to that same cabin again” — all without sounding like a complaint.
Custom Bobblehead
Does he have a tiny, nodding version of himself staring back from the bookshelf? Didn’t think so. Enter the *Custom Bobblehead*, aka the gift he didn’t know he needed but now can’t stop showing everyone who walks through the door.
This isn’t some generic souvenir-job reject. You send in a photo, they sculpt his actual face—painstaking detail and all—onto a bobblehead body of your choosing. Want him as a suited CEO? An astronaut? A muscle-bound superhero? It’s all fair game. Even the stance, outfit, and accessories are customizable. Yes, it’s a little ridiculous. That’s the point. Because when a man has everything, nothing hits quite like a gift that’s hilarious, weirdly flattering, and deeply personal all at once.
Perfect for the guy who has zero needs but plenty of ego. Or, you know, a great sense of humor. Put it on his desk, his dashboard, his nightstand—wherever he needs a reminder that someone out there took the time to immortalize his glorious self in polymer clay. Flattery, in 7 inches of pure bobble.
I Love You Duck
A small, glowing homage to both your devotion and your refusal to give him yet another boring gadget. It’s weird, it’s whimsical, and it’s way more charming than it has any right to be.
Place it in his shower, on his desk, or lurking next to his toothbrush — wherever this little guy lands, he’s going to raise eyebrows and crack a smirk. It lights up automatically in water, so yes, your declaration of love also comes with mood lighting. Is it practical? No. Is it necessary? Also no. But will it make him stop and say, “Wait… what is this?” before laughing and secretly loving it? Absolutely.
The I Love You Duck is proof that good gifts don’t have to be big or serious — they just need to stick in his brain longer than his fifth Bluetooth speaker. You could write him a heartfelt letter, or you could give him a rubber duck that literally glows with affection. Your call, but this one’s already got our vote.
Indoor Herb Garden
A thriving little herb jungle on his kitchen counter! This indoor herb garden is sleek, idiot-proof, and surprisingly satisfying. It’s the kind of gift that quietly says, “I believe in your ability to keep something alive…finally.”
This setup has built-in LED grow lights (translation: no actual sunlight required), with a self-watering system that takes care of the grunt work. Basil, mint, parsley — his cocktails and carbonara just leveled up. And no, he doesn’t need a green thumb. The smart sensors monitor water, light, and nutrients so the thing basically parents itself. You’re gifting the vibe of a rustic Tuscan kitchen, minus the international airfare or fresh air for that matter.
Point is — this is one of those gifts he wouldn’t think to buy, but will start bragging about at brunch. “Oh, those herbs? Grew them myself,” he’ll say smugly. Go ahead and let him.
Annoying Puzzle
If he devours puzzles in a single sitting and still has the audacity to call them “easy,” it’s time to humble him—in the most maddeningly delightful way possible. Enter: the *Annoying Puzzle*. A 144-piece test of patience, ego, and whether he’ll end up blaming the lighting, the table, or you for his unraveling sanity. Spoiler: It’s not the lighting.
This devilish little time-waster looks innocent enough until he realizes every piece is one shape, it’s completely monochrome, and instead of cute kittens or majestic mountains, he’s staring down an abstract chaos of harlequin-like patterns. Brutal? Yes. Entertaining to watch him suffer just a little? Also yes. But once (if) he finishes it, he’ll earn major smug points—and a wildly satisfying sense of victory. You know, the addictive kind that makes him want to do it again. Crafted for people who think regular puzzles are for quitters, and gift-givers who enjoy a touch of chaos with their thoughtfulness.
Me Being Your Wife Is Enough
“Me being your wife is enough.” Bold. Unapologetic. And if we’re being honest, entirely correct. This understated desk plaque serves up main-character energy with a wink and a nudge — perfect for the guy who’s impossible to shop for because, well, he already has the ultimate prize: you.
Crafted with solid materials (none of that flimsy plastic nonsense), this little gem belongs front and center on his desk, shelf, or anywhere he fancies pretending to “work.” It’s the ultimate power move disguised as a novelty gift — the kind that gets a smirk every time someone else spots it and realizes he’s clearly out-kicked his coverage. Again.
For the man who owns every gadget, tool, and obscure limited-edition sneaker, you don’t need to compete. Remind him who set the bar and then became it. This isn’t just a gift — it’s an artifact of your mutual understanding: he hit the jackpot, and now it’s immortalized in desk décor.
Gourmet Nut Crate
It’s a universal truth: men love snacks. And not just any snacks—*man snacks*. The kind that come in a wooden crate, hide inside with the defiant charm of a food-themed treasure chest, and require actual effort to open. Enter the Gourmet Nut Crate: a curated stash of savory, spicy, and slightly smirky goodness that turns snack time into an unboxing experience worthy of his inner lumberjack.
Inside, he’ll find a variety of premium nuts—including bourbon almonds, sweet and spicy peanuts, and hickory smoked cashews—that range from “oh, that’s good” to “I need to hide these from everyone.” This isn’t some sad trail mix situation, by the way. These are gourmet-grade, flavor-packed bites made for the guy who already owns every tech toy and doesn’t need another bottle of cologne. Delivered in a rugged wooden crate (yes, with a crowbar because why not), this gift hits that sweet spot between indulgent and practical. It’s edible, masculine, and frustratingly fun to open—which, frankly, might be the real gift here.
So if your guy has everything, at least make sure he’s got the snacks to survive owning it all. This crate feeds his stomach *and* his ego. Mission accomplished.
Military-Style Lockable Ammo Storage Box
This is a military-style, lockable ammo box that says “I’m organized, but also kinda intimidating.” It looks ready for deployment—and honestly, maybe he is too.
This isn’t some novelty tin pretending to be tough. It’s made from cold-rolled steel, has a rubber gasket for a solid seal, and comes with a built-in hasp so he can slap a lock on it and keep nosey parkers out. Translation: it’s not just ammo storage—it’s an industrial-strength statement piece for the guy who alphabetizes his toolkit “just for fun.”
Whether he actually hits the range or just likes the aesthetic of military-grade everything, this ammo box hits that sweet spot of rugged utility and overkill cool. Toss in some spent shell casings for rustic desk décor, or let him load it up with gear for his next real or imagined battle scenario. Either way, it’s a gift that says: “I see your borderline obsessive need to organize. I respect it. And I came prepared.”
Miracle Berry Travel Jar
He’s tried every IPA, aged his own whiskey, and grinds his own coffee beans like a caffeinated barista with something to prove. So how do you surprise a guy who’s tasted it all? Hand him a Miracle Berry Travel Jar and watch confusion turn into delight — then into “holy sh*t, is this a prank?” followed by “wait, I need to try this with a lemon.”
This unassuming jar comes packed with freeze-dried miracle berries — real fruit that temporarily rewires your taste buds. Sour tastes sweet. Bitter becomes fruity. Limes taste like candy, vinegar like apple juice. It’s science meets sorcery, and it’s the kind of low-key mind-blowing experience he doesn’t already own. The travel-size jar holds 5 servings (translation: 5 experimental flavor trips), and he’ll love pulling it out at a dinner party or using it to liven up a lazy Sunday with some surprisingly sweet goat cheese.
It’s niche, it’s smart, and it’s not something he’ll buy for himself (for once). Toss this one in your cart and check “thoughtful and unforgettable” off your gift list. No batteries, no setup, just pure taste-bending weirdness — and yes, he will absolutely want to make everyone else try it too.
Silicone Universal Pan Lid Set
He’s got a carbon steel skillet he won’t shut up about, a Dutch oven he treats better than his dog, and a cabinet full of mismatched lids that don’t fit a single pan he actually uses. Enter: the Silicone Universal Pan Lid Set—a low-key genius gift for the kitchen-obsessed man who thought he already had it all.
This set includes three lids (8″, 10″, and 12″) made of heat-resistant, BPA-free silicone that basically plays nice with any pot or pan. Yes, even the “vintage” cast iron one he scored at a flea market and called a “steal.” The lids have stay-cool handles, steam vents to avoid soup volcanoes, and—this is the kicker—they’re collapsible, so they won’t hog valuable cabinet real estate. It’s functional without trying too hard, just like him (or so he tells you).
If his kitchen is his kingdom and he likes to flex his stovetop style, this set is the kind of thoughtful upgrade he didn’t know he needed—until now. Bonus: this makes it infinitely less likely he’ll use a dinner plate as a makeshift lid again. A win for him *and* your dishware.
Spring Scents Pocket Toilet Spray
Subtlety: the mark of true power, and also of not clearing a room after your midday taco binge. Enter this tiny spray bottle with big-time social value — a pocket-sized toilet spray in discreet spring scents. He doesn’t need to announce his presence by scent (or linger long after he’s gone). Two sprays before doing the deed, and the bathroom stays fresher than a farmer’s market on a May morning. Dignity restored. Relationships protected. Hero status: secured.
This makes the perfect low-key genius gift — especially for the guy who has everything *and* refuses to acknowledge certain biological realities. It’s a scent barrier, not scented cover-up, which means it traps the… darker aspects before they invade the airspace. Citrus, lavender, and light florals pass for nothing more than “he’s just clean,” which somehow makes it even funnier that it’s hiding a war crime. Toss it in his gym bag, weekender, or glove box — silence may be golden, but this… this is priceless.
Tomahawk Dining Experience for Two
There’s dinner, and then there’s *what-on-earth-did-we-just-order* kind of dinner. This is the second one. A Tomahawk Dining Experience for Two is basically date night on a protein-packed joyride — the kind of meal that leaves a primal mark (and possibly a meat coma). It’s not just eating; it’s theatrics with a bone-in ribeye the size of your forearm, designed to make your standard filet mignon look like an appetizer for a squirrel.
If your guy is the type who claims he “doesn’t need anything” — but mysteriously lights up around sizzling cast-iron and table-side carving — this is the gift to break through that façade. He’ll get the bragging rights of devouring a hulking steak cooked to perfection, usually in a swanky steakhouse where they take their beef seriously and the wine list even more so. Whether he’s a culinary enthusiast or just someone who appreciates a solid meal that’s more experience than entrée, trust us: this is a gift he won’t be forgetting (or shutting up about) anytime soon.
So if you’re working your way down the “he already bought himself everything” list, just circle this one in thick red pen. It’s indulgent, impressive, and dramatically better than another gadget he doesn’t need. Bonus: you get to come along. Which makes it a win-win, really.
Meat and Seafood Subscription
Your guy probably already owns every grill gadget known to man — and three backup meat thermometers because, you know, *precision*. So what do you give the carnivore who thinks he’s tasted it all? A curated box of premium meat and seafood that shows up at his doorstep like a surprise Michelin-starred butcher with a shipping label.
This isn’t your grocery store’s sad little frozen salmon. We’re talking restaurant-quality cuts — wild-caught seafood, heritage pork, pasture-raised beef — delivered on a regular schedule he can forget about (until the box arrives and he remembers that you’re brilliant). Whether he’s into firing up the smoker, pan-searing scallops, or just flexing his Filet Fridays, this subscription ups his meat game without him having to Google “where to buy wagyu near me.”
Translation: You’re feeding his obsession without making him lift a finger. And if he invites you over for surf and turf, well, perks of being a thoughtful genius.
When Money Is No Object
Often when you’re thinking about gifts to give the man who has everything, inevitably, outrageously expensive things come to mind. So here are some ideas you may or may never get to give him, but it’s fun to dream anyway right?!
- How about designing his own Rolex? Or gold plating random stuff?
- You can create and trademark his own holiday or erect a billboard letting everyone know how rad he is.
- Buy him an outrageously expensive bottle of rare vintage wine. Or a really high scoring Napa Valley bottle from one of my favorites – winery such as Stags Leap.
- Give him racing lessons from a pro racecar driver or soccer lessons from a pro.
We just wanted to throw these ideas out there, because they sound fun and honestly, sometimes a crazy-wild idea can inspire other, more budget-friendly gift ideas!
Surprising Him Is Awesome
Well, we think that just about covers it. All we can say is have your phone ready for the photo-op, the man who has everything is about to have his world rocked.
Good job, gift-giver. Good job.
