<div><em><strong>ScienceChic</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>Good looking, 55 yr. old VP of construction firm.</p>
<p>He has everything he needs or wants!</p>
<p>He drinks beer (only) and smokes cigars but only a certain kind (gift baskets with various types are not an option &#8211; I&#8217;ve tried).<br />
He restored a car, but it&#8217;s perfected and nothing I could know is needed.  (&#8217;57 Bel Aire)<br />
He works with tools but owns every type &#8211; probably more than one, he&#8217;s already told me that.<br />
He wears cologne, but can&#8217;t smell!<br />
He&#8217;s a freemason, but I&#8217;ve exhausted all gifts that relate<br />
He golfs, but has brand new clubs, bag, shoes, magazine subscr.  He already stocks up on golf balls and tees.<br />
He has a brand new computer, and doesn&#8217;t care for any other tech-related items.<br />
He buys new clothes all the time and hates my taste (he&#8217;s a bit, um, unstylish)<br />
He&#8217;s fun &#8211; but have jokingly bought him nerf guns, portable videogames and remote control cars in the past.<br />
No hunting or fishing or bowling.<br />
He loves food &#8211; but a &#8220;meat and potatoes&#8221; type of guy &#8211; one that already has Omaha steaks deliver all the time.<br />
No sweet tooth.<br />
Will not watch a movie twice, nor tv shows.<br />
He gets gift cards from clients all the time.<br />
No ties.<br />
Renovating the house &#8211; well, hired help is<br />
He gardens, but barely. Tomatoes and squash only, I think.<br />
Likes jewelry, but his taste is not affordable.<br />
Doesn&#8217;t care for sports &#8211; goes to some NFL games, but not a true &#8220;fan&#8221;<br />
New wallet. His type of watches wouldn&#8217;t suit my budget.<br />
He already has a stack of books he claims to be &#8220;getting a start on&#8221;<br />
Mom deals with decor. Nothing like that would be of interest.<br />
No work gear and he has a company car. GPS, cell phone and accessories are redundant.<br />
Travels so much for work, he doesn&#8217;t care to go for pleasure. Travel items &#8211; luggage, travel pillows, etc. would never be used.<br />
He&#8217;s practical.<br />
We have a huge inground pool. Mom buys the fun stuff, and other people come to clean.<br />
We have a game room &#8211; likes billards and darts &#8211; new balls, cues, chalk-holder even. Table was recently recovered and whole dartboard set-up is new.<br />
Has an outdoor firepit &#8211; had two, gave me one- He already have me his old patio furniture that was from this summer, he didn&#8217;t like it.<br />
He has all the music he cares for, I&#8217;ve tried to buy him some and he either already had it or didn&#8217;t care b /c he has satellite radio.<br />
Would not be caught dead at a concert.<br />
Does his own lawn, oddly enough. He has all the needs, like mower, leaf blower, weed eater, pesticides&#8230;</p>
<p>ANY other ideas? In reality he&#8217;s fun but honestly has all the necessities. Therefore, I need a unique gift that isn&#8217;t generic &#8211; but must be practical too. He&#8217;s not a fan of &#8220;gifting for the sake of gifting.&#8221; Also, not religious.<br />
I think all of you have given me some great ideas!  Not sure which I&#8217;ll pick, but I&#8217;ll def check out some of the websites you all recommended.  He loves nice wallets, and his are always getting worn out. As for the classic car stuff, I just have no idea where to begin &#8211; he&#8217;s not the type for &#8220;novelty&#8221; items like keychains and such, but maybe I could get out of him if he&#8217;d like a new gear stick or seat covers &#8211; his car is bad-a and I get it eventually!<br />
The utopia beer from Sam Adams is a great idea (I worked at a liquor store all through college and we had the really neat looking metal bottle) for the connoisseur, but my dad likes bud and bud only&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyways, thanks for all the ideas &#8211; you have helped immensely!</p>
<p>Still, any other novel ideas are still welcome !!!</p>
