Gifts for him — no ties, no aftershave

The trouble with "gifts for him" lists is that most assume all men like the same three things. In practice, what separates a gift that stays in the cupboard from one used daily isn't price — it's matching a hobby he already has.

So we split this list by interest rather than budget: grooming, leather goods, gaming, car, BBQ, camping, audio and desk gadgets. If you know how he spends his weekend, you already know which section to open.

A simple rule: if he already does the thing, upgrading his existing kit almost always beats trying to start him on a new hobby. Someone who already grills will love a good tool set; someone who doesn't won't start because of a gift.
