You can't get any more masculine than paracord jewelry. You could make bracelets. I really like the Paracord watch strap tutorial by Stormdrane on Instructables. The how to is easy. The technique he uses is called "weaving with three warps". If you omit the watch, you'll have a paracord bracelet for the man in your life!
His tutorial also includes tips on prewashing the paracord to make allowances for shrinkage and how to clean it. Check out Stormdrane's blog for more inspiration and knotting resources.
