Is he the kind of guy who melts into his recliner with a scotch in hand after a long day?

We have a pair of sunglasses that’ll have him ready for his close up. Maybe he’s a big fan of charcuterie. We have a gift box for that. We’ve also got gift ideas involving personalized socks featuring his dog’s face (because why not?) and customizable golf ball stamps.
