Buying for a man

Well I have to say every year I have so much trouble trying to figure out what to buy my dad for the holidays. By the holidays I mean Christmas and his birthday and also for fathers day. It is always hard for me because I never know what to get him, he always seems like he has everything. So this year I was thinking about getting him something like gold cufflinks. He can wear them on special occasions and when he needs to dress up. It might not be a gift that he uses everyday but he will surely get many uses from them.
