Some men can be difficult to buy gifts for. They have a habit of dropping hints and then buying those very items for themselves. Alternatively, they may give no hints at all and insist that they want nothing. Fortunately, there are some reliable gift options out there to fall back on. Here are just a few ideas to consider if you’re struggling for a male gift.
Buy him an experience
What do you get the man who has everything? Simple – buy them an experience. There are countless ideas to choose from. Some sites on the web have experience packages, which can make the experience buying process more easy and presentable. These may include active experiences such as a hot air balloon ride or a supercar drive experience. Other more leisurely experiences may include wine tasting events and theatre shows.
Alternatively, you may be able to create your own experience. This could include tickets to a concert or a surprise meal with friends organised by you.
Get creative with clothing
Clothing can be a great gift, although there are certain items to avoid. Socks and ties are too cliched and boring – unless they’re personalised in some way these should probably be avoided. You should also be careful of buying trousers if you don’t know someone’s size.
You can keep clothing simple. When buying for a partner, mens underwear can be a gift to have fun with. There may also be practical gifts to consider such as sportswear if they like to stay fit, or travel accessories if they like to travel. Alternatively, you could try ordering something bespoke. This could be a tailored suit or a monogrammed hat. Expensive items like designer shoes and watches can also go down well if the man you’re buying for is brand conscious.
Get crafty
Hands-on gifts that allow men to craft something can often be appreciative. This could be a build-your-own-beer kit or a cheese making kit. Ideally, it should be something not too challenging, otherwise they may never pick it up. For a DIY-loving guy, tools could be a good idea – particularly power tools.
Go gadget go
Many guys love their gadgets. This could be anything from a fitness watch to a set of surround sound speakers. Also consider practical gadgets that could come in use everyday such as coffee machines, electric shavers and tablets. Look out for coupons that could allow you to buy many of these gadgets for cheap.
Feed their interests
Many guys have hobbies whether this is a musical hobby, a sport, a love of gaming or a DIY obsession. Getting a gift related to their hobby can be tricky if you’re unsure of what they may already have. However, you can still embrace their interests by buying fun foody gifts that are themed around their hobby. For example, look for chocolate games controllers and chocolate guitars. You may even be able to get personalised chocolates. On top of this there could be beers with thematic brewery names. Search on the web and see what you can find.
