  Finding the ideal gift for a guy that impresses and excites him can be difficult. For the most part, the things he "needs" -- beer, sports and tools -- he's going to get on his own, but there are many other gifts that will do the trick without breaking your bank.

  Whether he's outdoorsy, sporty or classic, visit your favorite department store for a hassle-free assessment of fragrances. The cologne counter staff will be able to help you narrow down a scent that closely matches his preferences. The more you know about his tastes, talents and interests the closer you'll be to picking the perfect scent.

  Give your guy is an upgrade to some of his guilty pleasures. Gaming systems and electronics are considered big-ticket toys; however, with the many versions of toys being born each year, you don't have to get him the latest, greatest version. Replace his old beat-up phone with an upgraded equivalent released months before. Give him a brand new game, usually under $50, to refresh his old system.
  
  

Barware Items

• Help him replace plastic cups with glassware.beer-mug from beer image by Witold Krasowski from Fotolia.com
  
  Upgrade his red plastic cups with sophisticated beer mugs or drinking glasses. Select individual glasses, some under $2 each; these are generally less expensive than sets that can often contain extras that he won't need.
