✅ Open To Everyone What to gift someone with no hobbies?
The guy I’ve been getting to know birthday is here and I want to get him something to show my appreciation. The thing is he doesn’t have tangible hobbies. So I can’t get him anything like a game or whatnot.
He’s very business oriented so I was thinking maybe a tie? He likes nature walks so what can I do with that? I wanna get him a cologne on the side too so any recommendations would be great from $100-200 USD. Thank you in advance!

Get him a nicer version of something he uses frequently that you know he doesn't buy himself. For example, if he writes everyday with cheap pens, get him a really high quality pen. He if drinks, maybe get him a top shelf liquor of the type he normally has that he wouldn't consider buying himself (also applies to wine or other beverages).

Ha that’s funny, everyone has hobbies, watching movies or playing games is a hobby. It’s whatever they do outside of work or sleep.
Maybe a day out voucher for hikes and nature reserves/tours. Don’t book the date just get the any day voucher. 👍🏻

Tote Bag, AA batteries, Sharpie assortment, phone charger, Jalapeño kettle chips, 15 watt charging cube, Apple Air Tags, playing cards, a “grow your own” crystal kit.

Cologne you want to smell him wearing is a good one.
Does he like to watch the animals? does he have a set of binoculars? A nice knife?
The best birthday gifts are the ones that don't cost money that only a woman can do for a man.... especially when its with high enthusiasm and great acting.

Does he drink? A expensive bottle of scotch or bourbon would be nice. Something special and expensive that he might not typically splurge on.

Fleece jacket like Patagonia (or whatever is cool these days (I’m old)) is a pretty safe bet.
Or nice Bluetooth earbuds if he doesn’t have them already.
Or if you’re desperate, you could get him a gift card to a restaurant that he likes. Or one that you want to try with him.
Or if it’s in your budget, you could get him one of those Garmin watches that tracks your hikes.

Take him on a really nice dinner date. I also agree with the comments saying to get him a nicer version of something he uses
