Shaving Supplies: While these are something most men need and buy on a regular basis, a little special something (a different scent or style) might be nice.

A Multi-Tool: My father received a multi-tool as a gift when he was a young man, and found it so useful that he carried it everywhere.
Cufflinks: If he wears suits often, a new pair of cufflinks would remind him of you every time he wore them.
A Personalized Toolbox: If he keeps his tools in a cardboard box, a personalized toolbox might be just the ticket.
A Manly Hat: A fedora or ivy cap could be just right for completing his look.
Overalls: An outdoorsy man would love a good study pair of overalls.

Things to Do
A Cookout: All the men I know love a good cookout, and if you can swing the work and prep, it can be something he looks forward to every year.
Make a Special Dinner For Two: He'll love some special time alone with his wife.
A Family Walk: Getting out for a walk to go look at the sights would be a great way to spend the evening. Going out into the country is even better!
