Tips

  • Notice what he complains about: a broken umbrella or a worn bag is a gift waiting to happen.
  • Ask his partner or friends for sizes rather than guessing.
  • Experiences are often remembered longer than things.

Best avoided

  • Generic novelty gifts that will be thrown away.
  • Clothes in a guessed size.
