I’m going to say it: men are impossible to buy gifts for. There are socks, ties, a wristwatch maybe. But once you’ve exhausted those options, where do you turn?

Well, I have a suggestion for the sports-loving menfolk in your life, courtesy of a company called Pop Chart Lab. These stadium scratch-off sets are posters with the various stadiums of each sport. Whenever they visit a stadium, they can scratch it off the poster and feel resplendent with pride. You will enjoy having the house to yourself, so it’s a win/win — the gift that keeps on giving.

(Of course it could mean you’ll get dragged to dozens of baseball, hockey, football or basketball games in strange cities. Buyer beware.)
