I bought the teen guys in my family these paracord bracelets:
Got Your 6
I figured if they wanted a paracord bracelet, which they were all asking my dh to make, I might as well buy from somebody trying to help the military.

You can never have too many flashlights..I bought a wind up flashlight for my husband and dad last year, which are pretty useful. Thinking of getting on this year for one of the male exchange gifts we have to get.

On the glovelite site they show you can get left, right or "both". What would "both" be...it will fit either hand?  | |

I made DH a medieval hat one year.....he saw it on an episode of Supersizers and coomented on how cool it looked  . So i made it for him. It's black velvet, with white feathers....looks like something D'artagnan would wear. Different strokes, I guess  |

For older men, who remember the t.v. shows, 'Dean Martin's Celebrity Roasts' on DVD. My dad received these one year and loved them. People tend to like nostalgia.
Uncle John's Bathroom Reader. My fil and dh love these. They have so many different issues available. They are oversized paperback books filled with all kinds of interesting stories and facts. Not limited to bathroom reading, of course, lol, but great for those who like that.

My husband and I got an early gift in the mail from my mother yesterday. She rented us a cow.
A cow.
Rent Mother Nature sent us a document about our lease on a cow. Then when we choose our milking date they will send us 3 rounds of Brie cheese from our cow. Is that not the coolest thing?!?
ZOMG this is FANTASTIC i'm so getting this for my dad and his wife - his expression when he reads the cow lease agreement will be fantastic!! i'm so exited i could just pee!! (sorry, it's phrase i got from The Boyfriend... but well, it works!)
Also: yes on Thinkgeek.com - both my salvation and my bane when it comes to gift shopping. Tho the cat laser tower = FANTASTIC for cats who like to chase The Red Dot.

I was going to get the "Mentalist" on DVD for DH, but DD says he doesn't want to spend the $ on it.
I like the "rent a cow" idea for him and maybe the Glovelite. Might get that for DS instead though.

I love the Rent a Cow idea too and have thought about leasing a cow to my DB's family (my SIL grew up on a dairy farm). My DB is into scientific stuff and I thought this would just be a fun family gift. My DH and DS kind of nixed the idea though, but I may still go this route.

I'm getting DH the Ultimate James Bond Collection that has all the Bond movies except Skyfall on Blu-ray. He'll be watching movies for days.
Dh makes paracord bracelets and until this thread I had no idea they were survival tools. So I had a lesson on all the ways you can use the cord after it is unraveled. I couldn't figure out why they were so popular. As much as they cost vs how much it costs to make them, he should go into business for himself. |

You can't argue with popularity. Well, you could, but you'd be wrong.

I jumped for joy when I saw the rent a cow but they will only mail non-perishable items to Canada. The sheep blanket is too far out of my gift limit (set by the family) of $50. I would love to find something similar in Canada!

My husband loves sockets. He has a billion sockets. One year as a joke I bought him more sockets. It was his favorite gift ever. 
For other holidays I have bought him an oscilloscope. I bought him a Zombie survival kit.
He loves unusual tools and unusual knives. I find him the craziest knives and he's thrilled. I don't buy him collector knives but every day man knives.

Tania, It is a beautiful watch and my husband loves it, but he only wears it for dress so I don't know how it would hold up for everyday use. Here is a link to their website:
