Here's a look at five unique gift ideas for the man who seems to have everything. From gadgets to doodads, these gift ideas for him are sure to make for a happy Christmas season.

The iCarta is compatible with all iPod models with dock connectors, and comes with four high-performance, moisture-free speakers (two tweeters, two woofers). As an added bonus, the iPod charges while on the dock. This unit requires AC power to operate. And, the iCarta iPod dock also holds a standard roll of toilet paper.

The beer guzzler in your life will never have to wait for a refill again. This plastic beer mug not only holds 12 oz. of your man's favorite beer, but it also comes with a bell on the handle. He can just ring the bell to let the beer maid know he's empty! A great gag gift for the beer lover on your list.

Some nuts are tough to crack, but there's not a nut these superheroes can't handle. Available in either Superman or Batman, these 11" wooden nutcrackers are the perfect gift for the comic book lover on your holiday gift list. Grab some walnuts or almonds on the side and you've got a great gift idea that your man will "marvel" at.
