4. Something personalized (but not cheesy).
A few years ago, I bought my father-in-law a small, metal tub for holding ice or drinks and had a cheap engraving place put “McCray’s Pub” (his last name) on it. The whole gift cost me around $25, but he uses it all the time and keeps it out on display when he’s not using it. Men will usually hold onto a gift if it’s practical and personalized.
#5 will help him feel like “The Man” and he’ll love it...
