    Gift ideas needed (for men)

    I will be leaving Hong Kong next month and before leaving, I want to gift something to a very dear friend of mine (male) as a thank you gift. However, my bird sized brain cant think beyond shirt, wallet and watch and all three I dont like the idea. also, my budget is too small to buy him a watch. I have budgeted for $500-600, can go up a bit if its something really nice.

    Its really difficult to find things for men than for women. Already bought gifts for my female friends, however cannot understand what to buy for other male friends. Suggestions welcome, my budget is $200 max.

    Thanks a lot.

    Nice pen, perhaps engraved?
    Photoframe with an appropriate pic in it.

    You should be able to get a decent flask for that amount of money; customize it with an engraving. Dudes love flasks...

    A decent bottle of scotch is always appreciated, too.

    Thanks oki, flask sounds good. Will keep that in mind.
    Bottle of scotch is good, but i want to give them something that they would keep. Scotch bottle will not last even a week.

    One of those "award" plaques with some appropriate greeting on it. We had some made up for a function last night - pretty cheap and turnaround less than 3 days.

    Ah yes, thats a good idea. How much will it cost roughly?

    Please keep giving more ideas as i have quite a number of friends who I would like to gift something before I leave.

    Not sure. I've emailed the person who did it for the function and I'll post her answer when I get it
