  Gift ideas for guys will entirely depend on your guy's interests and the occasion. It can be difficult to come up with fresh gift ideas, so a few suggestions can help to speed on the gift idea process. Many times choosing gifts based on personality is an easy way to find the right gift.
  
  

Beer

• Beer is a great gift for guys that love to have a brew while watching sports or getting together with friends. However there is more to beer than just the drink. Look for beer baskets, give him a membership to the local micro-brew club, or purchase beer dispensers and home beer making kits. Well stocked liquor stores have a plethora of unique, unusual, and local beers, that your guy might enjoy trying.
  
  

Outdoor Ideas

• For guys that love the outdoors, look for a multipurpose knife or leatherman multi-tool, running jacket, rugged hiking packs, biking computer, portable water purifier, books on exploring the world, waterproof digital camera, portable packmat/bed, sporting equipment or other gear that goes with your guy's outdoor activities.
  
  

Electronics and Gadgets

• Does your guy love electronics and the latest gadgets. Look into the hottest electronics or find a new twist on an old favorite. There are some really out-there alarm clocks available. Find the latest in super compact cameras, see all the different functions that can be found in the latest watches, find a pen scanner for taking a lot of notes, check out scrolling messages for license plates or those little office toys that will help your guy get through the long workday.
  
  

Intellectual Gifts

• Intellectual gifts can be a lot of fun. Check out the full array of games that help with mental dexterity. For those that love building, get a LEGO architect set. Find books for the aspiring know-it-all or a Kindle. Have fun with different desktop levitating globes or portable lap desks. There are many magnetic games that are portable and books that contain true but utterly bizarre facts.
  
  

Movie Options

• For movie buff, get the special editions of his favorite films. Rent a movie theater and invite all his friends for a special viewing. Set up a movie marathon or get him a membership to the indie film of the month or an on-line instant movie membership.
  
  

Miscellaneous Ideas

• Look at matching dad and kid shirts for a devoted father or a keepsake box with your own special recorded message. Create a customized tie, or if your guy has a favorite food customize his ice cream bowl or popcorn container. If he has a favorite food, then find a gourmet version. Take care of his least favorite shopping chore, or do a mosaic picture of his favorite photo.
