You pick out an amazing, expensive little keychain that comes with 32 features including its own panic button and tell yourself it�s the perfect gift. Of course, it�s not. The man who has everything has probably seen the super keychain before and decided not to buy it since he would never use it in a million years.

It�s never easy finding gifts for the man who has everything, since the man who has everything has, well, everything. You know the type, professional job, nice car, good family, a few hobbies; probably an all-around good fellow, but not very easy to buy gifts for.

The biggest problem is that if he really wants something he�ll probably just go out and buy it himself. Therefore, anything he really wants he probably already has, and just about everything that he doesn�t have he probably doesn�t want very badly. This puts you, the gift-giver, in a pretty sticky situation.

�Well, I have to get him something,� you rationalize. You walk into a store, maybe even The Sharper Image where they seem to have all sorts of gifts for the man who has everything; personalized golf tees, fighting robots, glow in the dark keyboards.

Of course, he doesn�t tell you this when you give him the gift. He�s gracious and thanks you profusely before shoving the keychain into a drawer and hoping that you don�t mention that he never uses it.

So what are you supposed to do? Well, since the man who has everything hasn�t had a chance to buy anything he hasn�t seen yet, try to find something that is along his tastes, but is particularly difficult to find.

For example, if you�re on a trip to a wine region, and you know that he likes Chardonnay, pick up a few bottles from a small winery that he probably hasn�t heard of before.

If he�s a football fan, pick up a piece of vintage memorabilia on Ebay that he wouldn�t be able to find otherwise. Don�t take the easy route of just grabbing some useless gift in the store that is labeled �for the man who has everything,� since it�s usually something neither you nor he would want.

If you put some thought into the gift, it�s likely that he�ll appreciate it more, even if it�s less expensive that the super keychain or monogrammed golf tees. Pay attention to what he likes and what he can�t find, and your gift for the man who has everything is sure to be a hit.
