For the Beer Lovers
-
If your guy loves beer, then he appreciates beer drinking equipment, such as hats with beer tubes and double can holders. For the cowboys, there is a beer holster by Red Envelope that is made from rugged leather that straps onto a belt and around the thigh for additional support when carrying a heavy beer load (12-ounce can or bottle). There is even a beer kit gift, which includes everything to make his own beer, including fermenter, bottles, brewer's guide and funny "Mr. Beer" labels.
Funny Hats
-
A hat gift is common for guys, but making it funny puts the spin on the traditional present. From umbrella hats to funny sayings, buy him a funny hat that makes him laugh and fits his personality. From DrinkingStuff.com, beer case hats are machine stitched, water resistant, adjustable to fit head sizes and a hilarious conversation piece. Hats-USA sells hats in the shapes of cheeseheads, sharks hamburgers and hot dogs. A trucker hat with a saying is another fun gift, such as gifts from Zazzle with quotes like "Pluto is Still My Favorite Planet" or "Graduate is a Fancy Word for Unemployed."

Vacation of a Lifetime

Another idea that is sure to cause a laugh, as well as a surprise, is the "Vacation of a Lifetime" digital picture frame. There are many ways to do this gift. One way is to collect a few photos of your friend, then cut out him out using an image editing program such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP. Then take photos from famous places around the world such as the pyramids in Egypt, Eiffel Tower, White House and Great Wall of China, for instance, and paste your friend into the photos so it looks as if he were actually there. With a digital photo frame, you can load the pictures into the frame and give as a gift. When he unwraps it to find himself standing next to the Taj Mahal, he can explain to you about his "Vacation of a Lifetime." The Lonely Guy Dream Vacation Digital Photo Frame is another gift from Think Geek that uses this concept, but comes with a green screen, so he can take his own pictures and easily place himself next to Keanu Reeves in "The Matrix."
Golfing Gags
-
Lots of men love golf, and there are so many gag gifts to give the golf lover in your life. For one, exploding golf balls surprise and challenge the most intense of golfers. Simply buy a legitimate pack of golf balls and replace one of them with this inconspicuous exploding substitute, then head off to the course and challenge him to hit the ball farther than you. When his ball goes up in smoke, he should get a good laugh. The floating golf ball is another fun gift. Toss your friend a pack of these for his birthday just to see his reaction the next time he hits one into the lake.
