Sewing/Crafting for a Man

The man in question, with my two babies.

So, I just wanted to know if any of you sew or craft for the men in your life. I sew for the girls and myself, but I'm contemplating sewing for my man too.

When I met him almost 12 years ago, he was the jeans and rock band t-shirt kind of guy. In the last couple of years, he's finally graduated to more 'adult' clothing! To put things in perspective, we are talking about a guy who is turning 40 this year. Hahaha... he's still a young boy at heart.

Talking about 40, his birthday is coming up next month. We usually don't make a big deal out of birthdays, but since it's a big milestone birthday, I wanted to do something special for him. So, I'm asking (begging) for your help to come up with ideas. What does one buy for a guy turning 40? Or should I make him something?

On a side note, I've been neglecting my sewing and crafting because it has been beautiful out! Winter is alright, but spring! Spring is just great!

I've made a rice heat pack for my husband, and he really liked that, and some random drawstring bags for sports equipment. Last night he asked if I could make arm warmers for when he runs...what are his hobbies?

He likes kickboxing, listening to music(his audio system), computers, reading and anything geeky :)

Thanks for your comment (the soup *was* as good as it looked)- I know I've been posting waaaay too much about food, but mot of my time is spent in the kitchen, feeding the fam. Crafting and sewing just haven't been happening lately :(
For your gifting, how about workout wear, like sweats or shorts, etc.
I made PJ pants for my husbie and he loved them, I wanted to make a robe, too, maybe this year...
I know you can have mousepads made from photos, but I bet you could find a tute online to make your own photo mousepad.
Or if he's a tie-wearing kinda guy, I found this the other day and I thought it was nice,
