A classic Zippo lighter. I've got two that look like this although I'm not a smoker. Quite a step up from the usual disposable Bics!
That you won't see suggested on every other menswear website and style blog! Whether you have a smoker on your giftlist. Or you just want a couple of cool, classic accessories for your own jacket pockets. You cannot go wrong with a chrome Zippo cigarette lighter and/or a leather cigarette case. Even if you aren't a smoker, both items have all kinds of unanticipated uses. After all, who knows when you might need to pull out that lighter at the campsite, or to light someone else's cigarette. Always an amazingly suave and even retro move in our own era when coarse and common behavior rule the day most places. And a leather cigarette case might be a neat way to carry the business cards you accumulate during the workweek. Or, it might make a neat billfold in lieu of the more typical money clip. Just some pre-Christmas food for thought.

My dad always carried his cigarettes in a similar leather cigarette case, which was the only cool thing thing about his smoking habit.
