'manly' christmas gift that boyfriend will really appreciate?

So, to start with, for all practical purposes, let's just say that we've been dating for a long time. There's no need to be nervous thinking about what he'll like or not - I'm just looking for extra ideas. I gave him part one of his Christmas gifts.. which is a split heart key chain that has my name engraved in it [I have the other half with his name engraved in it] but now I want to get him something 'manly', like 'guy stuff' that he would really appreciate. He works quite a bit, and his back hurts all the time.. and he's tired a lot and not getting enough sleep because juggling school, work and a girlfriend is tough. So I'm looking for things that will help him out and make him feel better..I was going to get a little gift basket and fill it with little [or big] 'guy stuff' that he could use and be really thankful for- what should I put in there? So far, I was thinking.. couples massage gift certificate, money clip, boxers [would silk be good? or just plain cotton?], a small grooming kit & little bath items [because i know guys like to look good too], one of those cheap plastic ball massagers that you roll on someone's back, a little 'sexy' coupon book, a couple of his favorite DVDs, a CD mix of all of 'our' songs that we have memories from over the years [okay, that's a bit mushy but he likes stuff like that].. I'm probably not getting him every single one of those things, but I'm just making a list for now to see what I can choose from. So, what else do you guys think I should add? I appreciate answers from girls as well but I'd really love to get this from a guy's perspective - what's some nice 'guy stuff' that he'd love? I can give him plenty of cute little gifts showing my love, but for this gift I just want to give him something he'll really appreciate. Guys - don't hold back, what are more things I could put in the gift basket? Something maybe he wants but is too proud or shy to ever ask for? Or any suggestions on how to expand on the ideas I already have? Just throw whatever you want out here. I'm totally ears. =) Thanks! p.s. As far as budgets go, it's super flexible. So throw out any super cheap or super expensive ideas. I'm a big fan of homemade things, too.

get him something that he can make a hobby out of like idk...crafts, i know it sounds girlish but like model cars or paint, or maybe you can get him new tools if he likes to fix things a massage chair is always good... a heated massager is also very good. maybe if he likes music get him a guitar or and instument that he likes... comfortable shoes are always nice like house shoes cotton is better as silk can get kinda uncomfortable for a guy
