49 Gifts For Him
He's the person who says he doesn't need anything — and means it, which somehow makes this harder. You want to get it right, not just hand him something wrapped and hoped for, but actually land on something that feels considered.
The good news is that "hard to shop for" usually just means you haven't found the right angle yet. Most guys aren't impossible — they're just specific, and specific is actually easier to work with once you know what you're looking at. Everything here is chosen with that in mind.
