A thoughtful gift for a male friend this Christmas season could be anything that shows you've put some thought into it. Here are some ideas: * A nice bottle of his favorite alcohol (if he's of legal age). * A classic piece of clothing, like a stylish winter scarf or a cozy sweater. * A subscription to his favorite magazine or streaming service. * A handcrafted item, like a custom-made keychain or a framed photo of the two of you.
