    stocking stuffer
    How about stoppers four spray, lozenges, etc for dry mouth, a new toothbrush, worry beads (helps with PET anxiety), etc.

    Spinach
    I think you need to stuff a few cans of Spinach in there...., he needs to regain his superman/popeye status...bawahahaha :)

    Not sure of his eating capabilities as of yet....hobbies or other things of interest maybe.

    Stocking stuffers.
    DVDs, CDs with awesome music or an iTunes gift card to get some awesome tunes, cologne that smells nice, super warm comfy wool and leather good quality slippers, favorite team sports jersey, knife (like a good quality kitchen knife? Got that for my BFF. Or a pocket knife, or Swiss army knife), sport subscription to a magazine or channel that he likes, does he fish or hunt? Tools?

    I think I'm out of ideas. Lol

    Swiss Army Knife
    Excellent....

    I had one for a really long time that was given to me as a gift....lost in my travels some how ago now. One of the best gifts that saw the most use that I can remember.

    Best,
    John

    haha! I'm not surprised. From what I have seen our tastes run a pretty much parallel track.

    Gift certificate for a 1-hr hot stone massage
    And if he doesn't like it - give it to me! I'm ALWAYS happy with a massage!

    Other ideas:
    Gift card to Lowes or Home Depot
    Small LED flashlight (always useful)
    Gift card to Gamestop (if he's a gamer)
    What are his hobbies? Little things to match that - golf glove, tees, balls. Fishing lures, etc.
    If he has a favorite booze - mini bottles of it
    LCD screen/tablet cleaner wipes/cloth
    DVDs - If I might recommend: Airplane!, Monty Python & The Holy Grail, Zombieland, Eurotrip, Date Night
