What do you get a guy who has everything and wants nothing?

A compact, useful item such as a multitool or a hand warmer. It asks nothing of him and he will end up using it.

What's a good gift for a man you can't buy for?

Pick a thing with one clear purpose that works for almost any man, like a tire inflator or an insulated tumbler. Avoid anything based on a guess about his taste.

Do men like practical gifts?

Most do, as long as the thing works well and needs no setup. Useful beats clever for someone who already owns plenty.

Gifts for men who have everything

We sell some of the items below and link to the shops that sell the rest. Prices, stock and delivery checked November 11.

Gifts for men who have everything work when they are useful, compact and ready to go out of the box.

We chose things for the car, the desk and the pocket, since most men have all three. We skipped clothing, novelty items and anything that depends on knowing his hobbies. Today's picks: the dual-sided gel comfort cushion ($39.99), the micro snap mini digital camera ($25.00) and the rechargeable hand warmer with display ($21.99). Each one shows its price, who sells it and how it arrives. Free delivery on orders of $35.00 or more; $4.99 below that.

What do you get a man who has everything?

Something he will use and not have to think about. A portable tire inflator sits in the trunk until it is needed. A multitool handles the small jobs. An insulated tumbler goes to work with him.

Gifts for a man with no hobbies

Buy for what he does anyway. He drives, works at a desk or watches things from a couch. A desk gadget, a tire inflator or a sherpa throw covers those without a single hobby involved.

Small gifts for a man who has everything

A rechargeable hand warmer or a multitool is small, low-cost and still gets used. Small is fine as long as it has a job.
