Although it is impossible to create a definitive list of gifts that work for the entirety of half the adult population, there are certain gifts that will go over well with large numbers of adult men. When you are trying to decide what to purchase for a man, take any advice with a grain of salt. Think of his individual preferences. Although a box set of ABBA hits might not appeal to most men, if the one you are shopping for harbors a secret passion for the group, by all means purchase it.

Expensive Watches
Although some men have pierced ears or wear gold chains, almost all men can appreciate an expensive watch as a Christmas gift. Either opt for a model that has lots of features like backlighting and the ability to go deep underwater, or a model that is made from fine metals or is from an expensive maker. Try to match his personal style. If he's very active, get a rugged, weather-resistant, leather model. If you see him often in a suit, go for a watch to match this image.
Buy for His Hobbies
Not all men play sports, love the grill or play video games, but almost all men have some type of hobby that they are passionate about. If he loves examining Oscar-winning directors, get his a box set of selections from his favorite. If he loves watching his favorite team through the highs and lows, get him branded gear, season tickets or a great new high-definition television to catch the games on.
Flasks and Alcohol
There's something about a flask that seems very masculine. Purchase one in a leather or metal casing along with an old bottle of Scotch or brandy so that he can feel sophisticated without feeling domesticated. A box of cigars can be a good substitute if he already owns a flask.
Gadgets
Even men who aren't technically inclined often like to think they are, and the latest, most buzzed-about technological items might be just the thing for a man at Christmas. If he already owns the popular gadgets from televisions to iPods, get him something that his friends may not have, or may not even have heard of, like a programmable espresso maker or a more esoteric gadget.
