When I asked babe what he wanted this year he gave me the link to Victoria's Secret and said nothing else.
So I guess I'll be filling his stocking with stockings.

Darling, these things happen. Sometimes men like to cross the lines of the genders and we shouldn't discourage it if that's what they really want.

You heard them, ladies of EoFF. Send me your underwear for Christmas. Thanks! :3
That wasn't what you said
Since when could you stuff a prostitute in a stocking? You have some issues there Chris
he wanted those girls. or you wearing what they were wearing.
"Wish you were her"
My dad is a little hard to shop for, but he seems to like restaurant gift cards well enough.
My brothers are all gamers so anything themed toward their favorite game, like a shirt.
My husband is also a gamer, so usually a game he doesn't have yet that's been on his amazon wish list for years, or he likes graphic tees and such.
After my sister was born, I got my father some Just For Men hair dye, anticipating correctly that he would need it.
Things I've gotten my menfolk on the past:
iPhone instant charger
Wireless mouse
Loads of ties
Rare comics
Custom bobble head figurines
Poker chip set
Dart board
Armani watch
DVDs
Huge compilation of Final Fantasy music
Clothes
Money
PSP - Hacked and pre-loaded with a bunch of games
Nintendo DS Lite
R4 - for unlimited gaming delight on the DS
Zombie survival kit
If you need help, I would suggest:
Cool Material Gift Guide - For gadget-y stuff
Think Geek - For the nerds
Art of Manliness - For all sorts of manely stuff from shaving tools to bags, shirts, journals, etc.
Also, throughout the year, whenever people mention something that they need or want, make a note of it. I just the notes app on my phone and sometimes Evernote to keep track.
And also consider experiences as gifts. Concerts are a great gift idea for guys (and girls). Or even something more low key like taking them to a Museum featuring something they're interested in, or a nice steak dinner.
If you're really at a loss, I would suggest something along the lines of the Zombie survival kit, although it doesn't have to be for zombies. Buy a big pastic tub and fill it with useful survival stuff. First aid kit, alcohol, a knife, matches, candles, packaged food, water, a book on how to survive whatever it is you want them to survive. I personally chose: http://www.amazon.com/Zombie-Surviva.../dp/1400049628
The expense shouldn't be *too* bad and it's a really fun but practical gift.

*in a low, manly voice* I like it when girls buy me strap-ons. I think all guys are like this, amirite?
that statement could not be any further from the truth. maybe for a few people here...
Moving swiftly on...
I think most of the suggestions people have made are good, especially Miriel's and those who have suggested gadgety things. I think you'd also be surprised at some of the less flashy presents - my girlfriend has bought me a number of nice food gifts (chocolates and biscuits) and clothes.
On a tangentially related topic, I put myself through the annual awkwardness of going to buy Catch Kidston goods with floral patterns on them for her Christmas gifts. I always think I look ridiculous going in that shop...
i want a hamburger! no, a cheeseburger! i want a hot dog, i want a milkshake, i want potato chips
