Trying to come up with a great gift for my boyfriend who’s in his 40s. If he wants something he gets it for himself so very hard to shop for, any ideas appreciated!

He’s into tech. Has several TVs and stereos, smart house Google and Alexa, Ipad, phones, nice desk set up. I had gotten him AI glasses when they were still cool a while back and he loved those at the time but not since the whole privacy scandal.

He is into watches but expressly told me he doesn’t want me to get him a watch. He has watch cleaner sets and displays.

Likes cooking (already got him a few smart gadgets for the kitchen and fancy engraved knives). He has an air fryer, sous vide, smart meat thermometer, etc.

Dresses well but has particular taste, I thought about getting him a trench coat but he casually said he wasn’t sure he could pull it off.

Likes drinking but he has cheap taste in wine and bourbon so a fancy liquor bottle would be a waste to him. Doesn’t care about fancy glasses either.

I thought about an experience but we often go to Broadway shows, concerts, and the like so not sure it would feel special enough for his birthday. He’s done helicopter ride before and we’ve done hot air balloon and boating too. He’s not very sporty.

Budget 1000-1500

Thanks in advance!! 🙏
