1) Think about his age and social/financial status;obviously if he's well-off to afford whatever toys he wants,you're better off getting one really,really top-notch item,rather than several cheaper ones that he might consider inferior.Do not hesitate to ask what his wishes are.
2) Think about items that are related to his hobbies,although they don't have to be directly related.For example,if the man you're buying a gift for is a diver,you could get him a recently published guidebook to diving hotspots around the world or locally.
3) If he's an activist(political/environmental/social),consider a subscription to a newsletter or website run by an activist group where part of your gift will go to cuases he cares about,or try giving him a receipt for a donation in his name to a charity you know he supports.
4) If he's an egoist,try something with his name engraved on it(hardwood cigar case,leatherbound book,etc).
5) If he likes to party,buy him a VIP membership to one of his favourite clubs or bars.
6) If he's a music buff and you understand anything about it,try tickets to the local phioharmonic,or a band concert in the genre he likes(you should probably avoid CDs/Tapes unless you're really sure of what he has and/or wants).
