  Choosing a meaningful present for a special man in your life can be difficult. Men are sometimes tricky to pick out a present for, and traditional options like ties and golf balls tend to get old. Some unique ideas can make sure your guy receives a meaningful present.
  
  

Barbecue Kit

• Many men love cooking steaks and burgers on the grill, and a barbecue kit fitted out with necessary tools and sauces can make a great gift. Put together your own basket filled with grill tools such as a scraper and a stainless steel spatula with a few bottles of gourmet barbecue sauce. For added meaning, include some special homemade sauces your guy is sure to love.
  
  

Car Accessories

• Your recipient will probably appreciate useful accessories for his car. Give a gift of new windshield wiper blades, a trunk organizer or a glove compartment console. Pick up a few electronics holders, like a console for a cell phone and mp3 player that fits on the dashboard. Put a few of these items together in a decorative bag for any car enthusiast.
  
  

Event Tickets

• A pair of tickets to an event your recipient enjoys is a thoughful gift and an opportunity to spend time together. If your man is a sports fan, get him tickets to see his favorite team play. If he enjoys music, buy tickets for a concert. You can even buy a few tickets and let him go with his best buds.
  
  

Antique Books

• If your guy is a bookworm he'll appreciate an antique edition of one of his favorite books. You can find good quality antique books at used bookstores or online auction sites, and you can buy a themed set like three books by Dickens or Poe. You can also look for a first edition of one of your special man's most-loved books. Write a personal inscription on the inside cover of the book.
  
  

Music

• You can give the gift of an updated music collection by making a present of a CD anthology by your guy's favorite artist. If the man in your life is a more vintage type, consider purchasing an old record of his favorite album or a series of records by his favorite artist. An antique record player is a thoughtful addition to this gift.
