Inexpensive golf tees in a box.
I got my husband these golf tees because they had a box (and I like organization) but he was dismissive until he saw them in person. Then he suddenly changed his tune…I did the review video here, you can check it out. These are really cheap, you could decorate the box with stickers or sharpies, and it’s an actual useful gift that he will use and will like.
Car chargers organizer.
My husband is constantly having to go to his car to get his charger because he doesn’t have one specifically for the car so he never knows where the cords are. It would be easier to have an extra, and to have a way to organize the ones that you have so you’re not searching for them. Give the gift of not having to hunt around by giving a phone charger organization bin.
