Why it works: No cords or batteries · Silent rotation · Design object
Skip if: Pricey for what it does: buy it for the wow, not the use.
TruffleHunter Essential Truffle Gift Set: Oils, Salt and Honey
TruffleHunter's set pairs black and white truffle oils with truffle salt and truffle honey, a luxury most people never buy for their own pantry. A few drops upgrade pasta, eggs or fries. Rated 4.5 across 7,000+ reviews, about $45.

Why it works: Four truffle products · Gets used, not stored · About $45
Skip if: He dislikes strong flavors.
Hunt A Killer: Body on the Boardwalk Murder Mystery Game

Why it works: Custom engraving · Solid brass · Works as a real compass

Why it works: Five species · Tools included · About $40

ROKR Wooden Circus Tabletop Pinball Machine
ROKR's kit builds a playable pinball machine from laser-cut wood, with flippers, sensors and lights. Hours of building, then a game for the living room. Rated 4.6, about $159.
Ideal for: A man who likes to build things with his hands.
Why it works: Playable once built · Lights and sound · Display piece

Ideal for: A man who grills and hosts.
Why it works: Three hardwoods · Reversible · Gift box
Skip if: He already owns a big wooden board.
Why Another Gadget Is the Wrong Gift
A man who has everything has already bought the headphones, the multitool and the smart mug he wanted. What he lacks is what he would never order for himself: a 20-million-year-old shark tooth, the story behind Paul Newman's Daytona, an afternoon bottling his own hot sauce. Rarity and time beat function here.
Experiences He Can Have at Home
The Millhouse Spice kit makes up to 10 bottles of his own hot sauce. Hunt A Killer's Body on the Boardwalk is a murder mystery solved in one evening. The Celestron SkyMaster 12x60 binoculars open up the Moon and star clusters from the backyard, the ROKR kit becomes a working pinball machine, and the AVERGO bonsai kit is a project for the whole winter. A deep strategy game such as Brass: Birmingham or Root is another winter-long project: see our strategy board games.
Rare Objects and Keepsakes
The megalodon tooth comes with a certificate of authenticity; the MOVA globe turns on its own using light and Earth's magnetic field; the SFdizayn brass compass is engraved with your own words; the limited blue pressing of Kind of Blue is a record to display, not just to play.
Gifts for a Dad Who Has Everything
The engraved compass with the children's names or the date of a family milestone, A Man & His Watch for the dad who wears the same watch every day, or the TruffleHunter set for the dad who runs the kitchen on weekends. For more Christmas ideas for him, see our dad guide; for your spouse's father, our father-in-law guide; and for her, our gifts for women who have everything.
Premium Treats, Without Alcohol
TruffleHunter's set of truffle oils, salt and honey and the hot sauce kit are luxuries that get used up rather than stored. You will not find whiskey stones, decanters or bar sets here: ChooseTheGift does not recommend alcohol-related gifts.
