Besides the obvious one (Swedish twins), men have lots of fantasies. Most of which get played out (and rerun) on the couch. So let his favorite reality show inspire his perfect gift.

Girls Gone Wild
Fire him up with Taschen’s The History of Girly Magazines, a Fisheye No. 2 camera for taking his own pics (Wishbone, 601 Irving Street; 415-242-5540), and an electronic questions game for distracting his victims.

Top Chef
Move over, Mario. A rack of succulent Maui ribs, fancy olive oil, and a Japanese chef’s knife (The Japan Woodworker, 1731 Clement Avenue, Alameda; 510-521-1810) will boost his cooking many notches.

Celebrity Poker
Liven up game night with a poker kit from St. Francis Winery. It includes two new-release wines, stemless Riedel glasses, and custom playing cards and chips.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
Give him the Pretty Man treatment at MAC (387 Grove Street; 415-863-3011), the Hayes Valley boutique that stocks cutting-edge styles from Dries Van Noten, Lanvin, Walter Van Beirendonck, and 5EP Japanese denim.

For He Without TV
Help him finish the Great American Novel with a vintage typewriter, a wow-worthy desk lamp, and a Blue Bottle coffee subscription.

And suddenly all his fantasies are of you.
