My husband and I are going to a Christmas party this weekend and we both need to bring a gift (male and female). I need an idea for a male gift that isn't a gag gift and is around $25. Can any of you smart ladies help me out?
Thanks.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Well my DH decided he wanted to give some kind of liquor because he said every guy at the party would like that. Well thank you all for the great ideas and I will probably use some of them for the other men in my family. I knew I could count on you moms!
THANKS!

What about a nice baseball cap? Maybe a Texas Rangers cap? Most men I know don't think they have enough of them! I bought my brother-in-law a neat retro Rangers cap. Gift cards are nice, but in my opinion you might as well give cash. A unique tool or even a leatherman is another idea! Good luck!

How about a gift certificate for a manicure or a pedicure, depending on the location and cost of either service. Whoops! Just realized you asked for male...hmm...I got my husband a really cool screwdriver kit from Lowe's for about $20.

Depending on the guy, shot glasses or a beer stein. Or, if for the non-drinker, a Nalgene bottle filled with candies of some sort.

What about a Hammock?
There are some that are that price. Lots of sales now.
Maybe your local Lowe's or garden store will have them.

Or, some kind of tech gadget?

Or a game?

Or the typical bottle of wine.

Uhhhmmmmm.... a bottle of whiskey? Or Irish cream?

Every white elephant (or Chinese gift exchange) that I've ever been to (for adults) the most coveted and stolen gifts were alcohol. Either a decent bottle of scotch or vodka or whatever, or a good bottle of wine. For $25 you can pick up the perfect bottle quite easily.

You can never go wrong with tools. A ratchet set or maybe a electric drill? I think you can find those for $25. Or a gift card to Home Depot

Gift cards are always great, no matter how young or old, male or female..they can get what they want. Ya can't go wrong on that. Especially to a favorite local restaurant..everyone eats out sometimes right?! But if you want to go more personal, maybe a knife, nice holiday tie, a wine glass duo, trimmer, a stalking full of candy and chocolates. Idk about you, but I don't know many men who don't like big metal canisters of popcorn, or ice cream accessories, like a pack that has a personal scoop and bowls and fixings like nuts and fudge in it..or even a sausage and cheese box set thing. Hope those ideas help..have fun at your party!

I just bought some "red-neck" wine glasses that are really cute. A mason jar on a pedestal, they have been flying out of the store like hotcakes. Got one for my sons and son in law..
