He has a drawer full of chargers, three multi-tools, and a bottle of whiskey he never opens. What do you give someone who has already made every choice himself? Something he hadn't thought of yet and doesn't see anywhere else.
Start with what he truly recognizes
A fatbike. A frikandelbroodje (sausage roll). A doner kebab roll. A can of beer. These are the things that make him chuckle without you having to explain it. We hand-blow them from glass and paint each one individually, so something will be hanging on his tree that no one else has.
Not a gadget that disappears into a drawer
The problem with gifts for someone like that is that everything is forgotten after a week. A Christmas ornament comes out of the box every year. He hangs it up, he thinks of you, and in January it goes back into the tissue paper. That's longer enjoyment than yet another sock.
It's exactly at the gift price point
The ornaments are about nine centimeters and cost 14.95 euros. That's the amount you say yes to without thinking for someone you like but for whom you don't need to prove anything. If you want to go bigger, there's a topper of about twenty-eight centimeters for 24.95 euros.
No matter who you're buying it for
Father-in-law, brother, best friend, the colleague who has everything. Each design is uniquely painted, so no two baubles are the same. You're giving something he'll hang up and point to when someone asks where he got it.
