Depends on the man. Most men know what they need as far as tools, music, movies, or vehicles go. Unless you know a guy's taste, then clothes could be an unsafe option. If he has a certain hobby, and you know what it is, then you could indulge there.

If I haven't helped at all...then just go with the VISA gift certificate. He can use that anywhere.

How to Select a Gift for a Guy
Getting gifts for men is not too difficult. Deciding what to get a man usually involves finding out what his hobbies and favorite "toys" are. When in doubt go with something practical; something that helps him work, study, play, or relax: tools, sports tickets, books, cigars, or alcohol (e.g. A bottle of fine Scotch whisky). Stay away from clothes generally, and - here's the big difference from getting gifts for women - stay well away from "decorative" items (e.g. vases, pictures, posters, statuettes, things that hang off the rear-view mirror, bumper-stickers, etc).If it's someone you care about or your boyfriend,you can buy him something that reminds him of special moments that you shared or special words between the two of you (for ex. like a chain with a cross if he likes to pray).

Steps
Consider the guy's general lifestyle: Is he a sports fan? Workaholic? Student? Drinker/Smoker? Survivalist? Partier? Fitness/health enthusiast? These are some extremely broad and silly categories, but they will help you narrow him down.
Think about his age and social/financial status; obviously if he's well off enough to afford whatever toys he wants, you're better off getting one really, really top-notch item, rather than several cheaper ones that he might consider inferior.
Consider your budget and how much would be appropriate to give based on your relationship (i.e. don't be creepy by spending more than $30 on the guy unless you are good friends or family). Some men might feel uncomfortable receiving a gift worth more than $30 from a casual acquaintance.
Think about items that are related to his hobbies, although they don't have to be directly related. For example, if the man you're buying a gift for is a diver, you could get him a recently published guidebook to diving hotspots around the world or locally. If he's a model train man, you'll need to learn more about his collection before you try to give gifts appropriate to it. Why, you might purchase him a Canadian Pacific Railway caboose when all his trains are pre-1970s Southern US!
If he's an activist (political/environmental/social), consider a subscription to a newsletter or website run by an activist group where part of your gift will go to causes he cares about, or try giving him a reciept for a donation in his name to a charity you know he supports (he can use it as a direct tax-writeoff, plus he'll know you want to care about what he cares about).
If he's an egoist, try something with his name engraved on it (hardwood cigar case, leatherbound book, etc).
If he likes to party, see about buying him a VIP Membership for one of his favorite clubs or bars.
If he's a sports fan, it's hard to go wrong with event tickets or something autographed by a player you know he likes (check online auctions for these). Please take into account that being a man does not necessarily equal sports fan, however.
If he's a music buff, and you understand anything about it, try tickets to the local philharmonic, or a band concert in the genre he likes (you should probably avoid CDs/Tapes unless you're really sure of what he has and/or wants).



Tips
Some people choose fairly universal gifts for guys such as whiskey or cigars. These kinds of gifts are very impersonal and indicate you don't really know the person, while still showing that you want to appear "sophisticated". You will usually see this kind of gift either from an employer or a very young and inexperienced woman. At least make sure that he's a smoker before getting him cigars, because if he is not, you've just become lame in his eyes. A lot of guys who don't smoke would be offended getting cigars as a present!
Good alternatives to an unmemorable cash gift that are still completely universal are gold or silver coins (depending on your budget and knowledge). These may not add to one's savings, but can be kept in a bank safe for a rainy day, sold for cash, or displayed. Moroever, gold and silver coins are just a plain neat gift to get.
Make sure your gift is something that he will actually use. Don't buy it at the Hallmark store. Seriously, don't even buy gifts for women there. Stay right out of there. Pay attention to what his needs are and shop accordingly. You may even have to make the gift or solution, or your gift may not even be an object. Think outside the gift-box!
There are lots of alternative if you do not have much money: for example, taking him for nachos or organising something with friends. Otherwise, you can make a mix CD.
You could also buy him something of sentimental value, such as a poster or just a nice card (Nice means not from Hallmark).
You could also make him a card, because it has even more sentimental value than a bought one, and it might also be cheaper and more creative!



Warnings
Avoid clothes unless you *really* know what you're doing. Like anyone, most guys have their own preferences in clothes and if you get a man something he doesn't like, he will potentially feel resentful because he might feel forced to either wear something he considers ugly or risk offending you by never wearing your gift.

Well it depends on what he likes, for me I like video games if a girl bought me a game that would really mean something to me.

Although many would say "sex", something that is more aimed at him.

How about a fabulous steak dinner?
