Are these guys good friends? If they are, HOW THE HELL do you not know what to buy them? I mean do you even know them at all, Im offended on behalf of said guys.
Now if you are trying to get laid and were too busy giggling at everything he said instead of paying attention to the guy, I completely understand and take it all back
Some people are not good at choosing gifts, such as me. I never know what to get anyone, even my close friends and family. Whenever I get them something I think they would like, its never the right thing...

Wow. I was just asking for some suggestions. It's not a big deal.

He also likes making his gadgets looks cool, so I got him some stuff off of http://www.gelaskins.com/ that he could put on his xbox, phone, etc. He also loves coffee, and always complains that his mug is too small, so I got him a huge ass awesome mug that was comic book themed cause he loves comic books. All I can remember right now. Oh...if he likes print Tee's, threadless always has Christmas sales.
As for my other guy friends, it really depends. One of them collects shot glasses from around the world, so whenever I travel I get him shot glasses. Another one loves weapons, so I got him an awesome knife. Another one downloads a lot of stuff, so I bought him a year membership for one of those downloading sites.
I don't always get gifts for others,
but when I do, it's always a picture of myself

According to the 'experts' these are what guys want for Christmas... one thing that I keep seeing EVERYWHERE including Chapters and novelty shops like Spencers in the mall is this book titled "Go the 'f**k' to sleep"
No idea why anyone would want it. I looked at it in Chapters and it's the weirdest book I've seen in a while.
So.... don't get it for your guy friend. He'll hate it. lol (in my opinion)
Amazon is a great place to go to buy gifts but also to do gift research. If you're looking for ideas, try visiting amazon.ca and look at their best sellers as well as their 'movers/shakers' feature which shows what is hot right now that people are buying. You can also see what is MOST GIFTED which means people have marked it as a gift on checkout...
Guys that I know like gadgets, and the best places to go for small gifts (including gifts for girls) is: factorydirect on upper james (factorydirect.ca) and xscargo (shopxscargo.com). Especially for stocking stuffer items they have name brand cosmetics, lots of kitchenware like pot/pan sets for the parents, etc.

Depending on who they are, it's a bit more than what I would prefer. But different price ranges for different people.
@OP: Be observant.

Another idea for guys in general, if you're comfortable with it and you know they'd like it:
Buy them a cool USB, download all the Playboy issues from the last couple years, and load them onto it. Tah-duh. I'm doing this (Playboy Russia, the guy's from Russia) for one person this year.

This is actually an AWESOME idea. This is dynamite. But I'm not doing it.
I just want to thank everyone for their suggestions! I have all my Christmas presents for my male friends bought and/or made. Now to wrap!

Come to think of it, any multi-use device would work for a guy, if it's electronic even better. Think Geek has some amazing stuff that's within your price range that is pretty hard to find in stores.
