Gift Ideas for the Guy Who Has Everything

Buying something for the guy who has everything requires imagination and innovation. Forget the money clips, tools and latest gadgets. Chances are, he already has them. If you think outside-the-box, you can find a gift that he doesn't already have, which can surely make him feel extra special.

Gift-of-the-Month Clubs

Gift-of-the-month clubs have come a long way from the days of cheddar cheese and smoked sausages or the proverbial fruit basket. If your guy is a budding wine connoisseur, try a wine club that offers high-end single bottles or other specialty selections. Microbrew beers, coffees, teas, premium meats and seafood, even chocolate or desserts have all jumped on the gift-of-the-month club bandwagon. If your man has a passion or taste he wants to explore, a gift club will remind him of you every time that next special club item arrives. Who knows, he might even share it with you.

If you really want to dazzle that special man in your life, you may want to fulfill his secret dream of driving in NASCAR or skydiving. There are myriad experience-style gifts out there to allow him to participate in a longed-for escapade. Whether it's simply luxurious like cigar-tasting or taking a golf lesson with a PGA pro, or something more adrenalin-based like white water rafting or testing his skills in a flight simulator, there's bound to be something where he can get carried away...and thank you for it.

Perhaps you want to go all out and surprise him with a one-of-a-kind vacation. Pull out all the stops and book a stay at someplace unique like Scandinavia's Ice Hotel, 200 km north of the Arctic Circle. There you can ski beneath the midnight sun and watch the Northern Lights dance above. Skip the airport bus and opt instead for a transfer via dog sled or snowmobile. Arrive at this hotel between December and April for skiing, snowmobiling and ice sculpting. If ice rooms are not your style, heated facilities are also available. Around April, the sun begins peeking over the horizon and the hotel melts, to be rebuilt the following season.
