3. For Him: Guitar Lessons

Was your guy an aspiring band member back in the day? Did he have aspirations of big hair, big sound, and traveling with roadies?

The sky’s the limit regarding how far he can take his talent.

5. For Him: A Craft Beer Brewing Kit

Kick the beer drinking experience up a notch for your man and give him a craft beer making kit. If he has even one scientific bone in his body, he’ll appreciate the process that goes behind brewing and crafting the perfect frosty glass, regardless of how it turns out. Who knows? It could open the door for a very profitable side business as well.
