Think about his hobbies and daily routines—gifts tied to interests (coffee gear, tools, outdoors equipment) show you noticed what he enjoys. For a sentimental touch, consider personalized items like engraved watches, photo books, or custom wallets.
Balance usefulness with surprise: splurge on one meaningful item if your budget allows, and add a small practical accessory to complement it. When uncertain about size or style, gift cards to his favorite store or experience gifts (tickets, classes, guided trips) are reliable winners.
