I never knew what gifts to give to a man. They seem always to be happy with something like new socks or a shirt. I personally think that it is not a man's nature to think of gifts at all. However, if you come up with a right thing he did not think about, he will certainly be happy!
I have an example from my own experience. My husband always needs flashlights and often looses them. When his parents asked for my opinion what to give him, I mentioned a flashlight. They gave him a very fancy flashlight! And very powerful too. He was confused why would I say that he needed a flashlight, because he could not stop losing them. Guess what! This one he did not lose! :) 6 month later I asked him if he still had it. Yes, he did. "It was a good gift then?" - I said.
Recently I have found an article written by a man (in Russian) about gifts for men. I thought of just translating it, but then I have gotten a better idea. I used it as a guide for my Etsy search for the things that could be good gifts for men. This is what I have found:
1) Some men like to cook, some of them have to. Something for kitchen is a great gift to man who does cook!
These fun gifts are available through Etsy:
2) Socks and shirts are still good! Men never say "no" to new socks (you know why, right? ;)
These items I have found here:
3) If he likes camping, there are many things you could give him as a gift!
To name just a few:
4) BBQ is another good theme for the gifts!
Something that you knew that you needed for BBQ and something that you had no idea that you needed:
5) Towels, slippers or even a book (if you know man's preferences in books) can make a decent gift!
6) Cool things gadget related will also work!
7) Speaking of "personalized" things... There are many things that can become a good gift if personalized:
Custom map clock by

Latter mug by

Chalkboard print by
LadybirdPress
Guitar pick by

8) Things that are not even close to be called "women's" :)
9) Jewellery for men. Why not! :)
