How to Pick the Right Gift

Start with routines, not trends. If he spends Saturdays in the yard, gloves, a flashlight, and a charger are perfect. Garage time? Add a speaker and smart plug for lights. Road trips? Car chargers and earbuds get used constantly. Check device compatibility (USB C beats micro USB), and favor items with simple apps or no app at all. When choosing tools, brushless motors, sturdy cases, and long warranties signal quality. If you are unsure, neutral colors and compact sizes fit more lifestyles.

Wrap it up with something useful and fun. Pick one item from each budget tier for a balanced bundle.
