Guys, what do you think of this list of small gift ideas for men?

Master

Hopefully you can read it alright.

Is there anything on here you think is cool or would like to receive as a gift?

I guess what they meant by "jelly boobs" is candies?

A wallet is always a nice idea if his current one is getting worn out.

I don't know what beard oil is. (And yet I have a beard. Should I know what that is? 😱)

I have never heard of hair clay.

Lol- has anyone actually used moustache wax since 1890?

Shoe polish is a good one.

TF is a pocket square?

"Jerky". Yessss. Meat.

Yes to gift cards.

Yes to a memory card.

Yes to BBQ sauce.

What the hell is a "man candle"?

YES to tickets!

Yes to the lock.

Yes to deodorant (though that could be funny coming from a S. O. haha.)

Yes to the apron if it means you're going to wear it with nothing else on.

Generally yes to a shirt.

Bracelet? What is this, 1999?

Yes to the game book.

If your guy wants a selfie stick, then he's probably the type of vain individual that would get off on You taking pictures of him yourself, so therefore he doesn't need a selfie stick.

The toothbrush is something I'm putting on my wish list this year.

I can scratch my own balls, thank you.

What are jelly boobs?

  Beard oil is for mosturizing the beard and the skin underneath. Makes the beard softer and less prickly and also can help to tame loose strands of hair.
  There are also some brands that claim to help with growth and thickness.
  I got a set of beard products for my brother last year. Oil, wax, and shampoo. He's been using them regularly since then and his beard looks much better.

  Thanks, @BlackRoseFairy. Right now I just use shampoo on the beard. Maybe I'll try that oil thing sometime. But it seems like I get enough oil from eating chicken wings.

35 - good BBQ sauce
36 - guitar pick (s). A gift that I treasured was a tin box of Jimi Hendrix picks. The box had a picture of the Electric Ladyland album. I still use the box but eventually wore out the picks and bought more.
44 - hand made flask
55 - tickets to a see a great band
71 - a T-shirt if it was cool
74 - a men's bracelet if it was cool and manly
82 - tactical pen
97 - ink cartridges always come in handy
99 - a Shure Beta 58A microphone

  Good picks.
  Actual Jimi Hendrix picks, that he used? That would be amazing. I bought these for my husband once as a gift. www.amazon.com/.../ref=sr_1_4
  Tactical pen is great. Husband has a tactical flashlight. He collects flashlights. We use the tactical one at home though, cause it has a great light.
  (The ink cartridges was a surprise.)

  That box of Beatles picks is exactly like my box of Hendrix picks. They just had images of him on them, like those Beatles picks.
  No, they were not used by him. If I had one of those, I'd frame it on an altar and make daily offerings. ;-)

  I thought Jelly Boobs were squishy, jiggly, anatomically correct appliances that you could stick to the instrument panel of your car. I didn't select them because they would cause me to crash. haha

Lip balm and apron kind of threw me off but I can see most of the rest as being good ideas!

  Yeah I thought lip balm and odorless deodorant were a bit strange but then they got mentioned by the guys as wanting so go figure. That's the interesting part - how everyone's different and it's so unpredictable.
  The apron though... like @Anpu23 said he rc'd, a leather one is sexy. And a grilling apron for the BBQ... I could see it. And then there's the Naked Chef for hire in New York who wears only an apron, nothing else whle he cooks in your home or for a party (although he plays for the other team so it's not exactly as it seems.)

  Thanks @AmaYVR yah I do a lot of qork with my hands in the garage. I build in metal, wood and plastic and last Christmas one of my sons gave me a leather shop apron that I absolutely adore. I use it almost daily especially when I'm welding or blacksmithing. I made the mistake of cutting a piece of steel wearing a kilt once shooting sparks right up it, that's what triggered the gift in the first place. Lol

I would personally appreciate:
Gift cards, favourite cologne, jerky, lip balm, leather belt, protein bar, odorless deodorant and grilling spice (or spices in general).
But at the same time, a lot of these would be completely lost on me.

Many of these are a bit too specific.
They are great to gift if you know for sure that the person will appreciate them, but they don't seem that reliable to me if you don't.

Honestly, I think the safest bet as far as gifts go, when you *don't* have much of an idea about what the person appreciates, are consumables.
Alcohol, tea, coffee, meat and treats.
Even if the person does not particularly appreciate that particular type of item, they will most likely end up consuming it just because, and it won't remain as a remainder of what a completely useless gift you have given them.

Personally, I'm a difficult person to please, so I advise every newcomer to my cycle to simply just not bother with gifts for me or limit themselves to alcohol (because I will drink it, whatever it is).

  Fair points.
  It's also nice to give those consumables well before Christmas etc. so that the person can re-gift or share.

A really great list, if you just want to give the usual, average, mundane gift.
When I am with a lady that I ADORE, I ask her for a day or two, a weekend, maybe, near the Holidays, for just us to be together. Maybe in January, some SUPER-COLD weekend when nobody ventures out!
My gift to her, is specifically focused on her, and that day, or that weekend, is all about her and that is my gift, special, intimate, and unique.
I cook the things she loves, and make her favorite dessert, and calories just do not exist, during that time (some Santa magic sprinkles!).
We watch the movies I know she loves, and just do anything she likes, and loves.
To me, that is a small gift for her. . .
What does they guy in your life like, and love? What can you do to make that super-special?

This list seems very specific and more catered to a Caucasian male. Some of these are good ideas, but generally they could use some work, though I'm only speaking from my perspective.

Items 1-21 (exception for 18 and 19) are literally lost on me. I don't know WTF I would do with any of them.
I do think what's most important is the thought behind the gift and of course knowing the recipient of the gift and their personal preferences and/or interests.

Wtf is a man candle? A USB drive... Ink cartridges? A fresh potato... It says go to the site but I can't even imagine why that is specifically there and I don't want to know. Jelly boobs... Selfie stick, ball scratcher? Some of these are just odd to me, and I do actually wonder what their survey group looked like.

There's quite a few things on their I would certainly appreciate. A few not so much and a few things that I was surprised that were left off. Tools are always a good gift for me, and I don't ware ties nearly as often as I used to. Last Christmas I received a leather shop apron that I absolutely adore and wear often so don't only think of aprons as kitchen but also work.

Wait, these are 'stocking stuffers' though. Which mean small gifts, like a bit bigger than the size of what you'd get in a Christmas Cracker/Bonbon to go *alongside* the main gifts that you're giving to a guy. These aren't intended to be given on their own.

  Ha. It does say Jelly Boobs. I thought I was reading it wrong. You have to totally get those just to see what the heck they are. Probably not a gift for the boss though. Disposable gifts are always best. Like the beer tasting kit.

  Well I checked out your profile and am glad to see that this is not about worshipping AT your feet, but rather just your feet. Still, not my thing. I'm neutral on feet, at best. Now hands, those are another story. They matter.
  Is there a reason, or is it coincidence that 4 out of 6 of the girls you follow all start with 'A'? Are you going down a list, or do you like 'A's, or is it random, I wonder.
  Anyway, this q is about gifts, so veering off topic here...
