The best gift you can buy a man is to respect him as a person and also a bj never hurt anybody.

Whiskey Periphery

The same poo poo, but for whiskey. Perhaps most famously, "whiskey stones", which you put in the freezer and then in your whiskey to cool it. Oh except you failed chemistry and forgot that it's the melting of the ice that actually makes it effective in cooling your drink. now you can get them shaped like bullets

a whiskey stone isn't for cooling your drink it's for keeping a chilled whiskey cold. that said just drink it on the rocks

No. Haven't you heard? You're being issued a new daddy, because the current one is not even registering on the high jinks scale. Sorry you had to find out here

I said he has an entire Le Creuset set of cookware

Also one time a guys roommate had standing water in his cast iron skillet so I cleaned that, and his kitchen, he has not forgiven me for this. But I can't forgive loving up a skillet. I can't sit back and watch skillet abuse

men don't need gifts because we make all the money so we buy what we want all the time always it's great

This but unironically.

Can't buy me hobby stuff because the stuff I don't already have is probably expensive and thus I don't trust anyone else to know my hobby well enough to buy the right stuff. So you buy a cringeworthy "man gift" and we call it a day

If your dad lives far away, you can get him a quaint regional speciality from your town. I am mailing mine a nice new cooler filled with chiles and sauces grown/made here.

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

A friend of mine (who is a girl) started dating this guy, he has two teenage kids so they thought it would be SO HILARIOUS to get him a MAN CRATE for his brithday

http://www.mancrates.com/

You get a little wooden crate and a tiny crowbar to open it (BECAUSE YOURE A MAN)

Then it's full of dopey poo poo like shot glasses, beef jerky, bbq sauce or peanuts or pocket knifes BECAUSE YOUR A MAN YEA

As a man naturally I love cute tiny versions of things. I shall place this tiny manbox in the center of my lovely manly man-themed tablesetting next time i have a man party where all my man friends come over and giggle about who is the cutest.
