- Drinks.
If the male is over 21 and likes a cocktail now and then, present him with his favorite. Available at any grocery or liquor store, it's a gift you know he'll enjoy. Tie a ribbon around it or put it in a manly gift bag.
- Magazine Subscription.
Simply buy a magazine related to his area of interest, stick a bow on it and give it to him with a note saying "11 more on the way". 
Of course, don't forget to then fill out the subscription card in his name.
Standard titles include Details, GQ, and Sports Illustrated. Go with what he likes: A techno guy might enjoy Wired, a golfer would love Golf Digest, the music guy would go for Rolling Stone, health nuts like Men's Fitness. So easy and everyone's happy!
- Shaving cream heater.
Ok it's a little random but this is one of my husband's favorite things in the world. I wish I'd bought it for him but he actually picked it up himself at TJ Maxx.
- Clothes.
Men like clothes but usually can't be bothered to go buy them, so this is good gift. It shouldn't be too hard to find a Gap or J. Crew and tell a salesperson you're shopping for a last minute gift. Stick with a sweater, shirt, or accessory like a scarf and gloves.
- Lottery Tickets.
This works best for hard-to-buy-for friends. Go to the gas station or grocery store and get the same number of tickets as their age, if it's a birthday.
Put them right in the card or wrap them with a ribbon.
- Wall Street Journal
One of the more professional yet useful male gift ideas for your dad, husband, friend, business colleague, or sibling.
It's a great newspaper and they have an online component too. You don't have to be a business guy to enjoy it either. I'm a stay-at-home mom with little to no interest in Wall Street but I started reading my husband's WSJ and now I look forward to it every morning.
They're running a GREAT deal right now-- Get The Wall Street Journal for 75% off!
- Gift cards: The old stand-by.
The drowning shopper's life preserver, a gift card is easily found at any grocery store, Starbucks, Blockbuster, or Target. Think iTunes, steak restaurants, Home Depot, Brookstone.
If you're really pressed for time, email him an iTunes gift certificate
. (Link will launch the iTunes store.)
- Electronics.
Especially music-related. If he doesn't have an iPod or needs a new one, check out Best iPod Online. It will help you choose and buy the right iPod and accessories as well as teach tips and tricks for using them.
