What are his interests? Everybody's got them. If you don't know the guy that well (is this an office gift exchange?) then ask his secretary, his friends, his family, anyone you have access to who knows him better than you do. For example:

> baseball fan -- a signed baseball card from someone on "his" team. Ask the store manager for recommendations.
> an art lover -- tickets to a play or art exhibition, or find out who his favorite artist is and check the art museum for gear featuring that artist, like ties, tie clips, paperweights, money clips, etc.
> a gift card to his favorite restaurant, or one (check The Food Network web site and search your city, or other travel sites) with the kind of food he likes that's supposed to be fun, or really good - (find out what kind of food he likes. Some people love sushi, others hanker for ribs).
> a parent -- find out what his KIDS like (assuming he has contact with them regularly) and hit the local museum store, science store, etc. - or get gift passes (open-ended deadline) for his family.

Anyhow, you see where I'm going with this. The best gifts aren't usually the most pricey - they're the ones that say "I know you (at least somewhat) and you're okay with me the way you are." That's a gift everybody wants, Christmas, or any time.

If you know anything about his personal taste, you could try art. If you don't, try something like a gift certificate for a local spa (most of them have special treatments for men) or a ticket to a local sporting event if he's into sports.

Don't buy him anything. Make him something that is unique and simple.
