What would guys want inside of a gift shop?

I am a female trying to start a small business. I am considering a gift shop but I want to attract men as well as women.

Stuff they could buy for their wives and daughters and girlfriends...that's the only reason my husband would go into a gift shop.

But once there, things like sports team pennants (college or Pro) and collectible items like that from a locally popular sports team would be appealing to men.

Also - pocket knives, especially Swiss Army knives, and things of that nature, or cool camping or fishing gadgets.

The stuff that attracts the most attention for my husband when we're on vacation:

Beer cozies
t-shirts
baseball-style caps
steins
collectible weapons (small swords, knives, nunchucks, etc.)

Baseball memorabilia
Books and magazines over Sports: Sports Illustrated is a hit!!!
Football Items
Nuts
Beer
Chips
Dip
Hats
Jerseys
Video Games
Women
Computer Software
Music

um..
styled hats
chains *necklass*
watch
styled shoes
jersies
big shirts wit a sick image oon it
grillz
shades *sun glasses*
belts

u should take a look at other stores to see what kind stuff dey have for men
