Help - presents for men!

Hello all, I am hoping to get some present ideas please!!

I have this problem every year but this year I am struggling even more because it feels like I've gone through all the present ideas available and I'm so lost.

I have the female relatives sorted but I have two men left and absolutely ZERO present ideas.

Please help!

1st man is mid 50s. Doesn't drink so alcohol is a no-go. He's into mountain climbing but I already got him a book on that last year. Other hobbies interests include keeping fish (he has a very large tank in the dining room and its his pride and joy) and he also likes dogs and wolves, nature...but I can't think of any presents around those things that would be in budget (around £30-£40)

2nd male is mid 30s. Very into tech, gaming, gadgets but he already owns a lot and I think most techy/gaming/gadget things that he doesn't have already would be out of my budget. He does drink but I've got him alcohol so many times before.

I am so stuck!! What do people do when it comes to buying presents for male relatives? Women are relatively easy because there's always jewelery, candles, perfume, smellies, beauty sets, pretty things...as a woman I feel like I know what the other women in my life want but with the men I'm really struggling.

Any help greatly appreciated :)

Lots of ideas on this previous thread. I've had success in the past with weather stations, wind gauges (for someone into boating), magazine subscriptions, event tickets, gourmet hamper of their favourite drinks/snacks/condiments that I've put together:

What about an animal tracking bracelet for Man 1? You can get wolf ones and plain black bracelets so they're not girly.

I bought 4 the other day - gifts for my mother and sisters. I was telling dh about them and he was unexpectedly very interested and said he'd quite like to have one himself.
