Gifts for the Guy Who Says “I Don’t Know, Surprise Me”

We all have him—the dad, brother, uncle, or friend who shrugs and says, “I don’t need anything, surprise me.” Shopping for someone who doesn’t give hints can feel impossible, but the truth is, the best gifts are the ones that are practical, thoughtful, and maybe a little unexpected.

• Home Depot – Perfect for the DIY enthusiast or weekend tinkerer. Tools, gadgets, or even a new grill accessory can make his day-to-day projects easier or more fun. It’s a gift card that says, “I know what you love, even if you don’t tell me.”
  
  
• Marshalls / TJ Maxx – These treasure-hunt stores are ideal for the guy who likes to find his own favourites. A gift card here lets him uncover something unexpected, from winter jackets to home gadgets, without the pressure of picking the “perfect” item.
  
  
• Kohl’s – A one-stop shop for clothes, electronics, or home essentials. Whether he upgrades his wardrobe or picks up something fun for the house, he can choose exactly what he wants without stress with a Kohl’s gift card.
  
  
• Michaels – For the creative type who likes to tinker or craft this is the gift card of choice. Model kits, hobby supplies, or DIY décor kits give him a project to enjoy over the holidays - or a new way to unwind after a busy day.
  
  
• Home Chef – For someone who loves good food but prefers low-effort cooking—no takeout required—or someone learning to cook, a Home Chef meal kit is the ideal gift. It’s practical, delicious, and a little bit fun, helping him enjoy cooking without the stress of meal planning or grocery shopping.
