Birthdays, Christmas, Anniversaries, or ‘just because’ --buying gifts for the men in your life can be extremely challenging. You want to make sure that you find something just right for them, to let them know that you’ve been thinking of them.
It’s even harder when they appear to have everything they need, but the expectation to present a gift is still very much there.
Follow this guide to help you to choose the perfect gifts for men!
A key to buying gifts can be outlined by this very simple rhyme to help to limit the variables when it comes to gift buying.
Something they want
Everybody will come across something they want at some point or another. That could be something you see in a store that screams the name of the person you’re buying for at you, or something they have expressed a desire to own or do. For example, if you know that the person you’re gifting to enjoys going to see movies, why not gift them with a movie pass that they can redeem at any point they want? Or maybe something decorative to help them to personalize their space a little better. Anything that they want, but not necessarily would want to spend their own money on
Something they need
Now, we all have that list of things that we need or need replacing. Gift-giving time is the perfect opportunity to gift our loved ones these things that they may use every day, but maybe of a slightly higher quality to those that they would usually buy for themselves. For example, somebody who needs to use a walking aid to get around might want to choose from a selection of high-end canes to make their movements more stylish and comfortable. Just because the gift is from this category, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be special.
Something to wear
Clothing can be a challenging one for men. Some men are happy for others to help them to choose clothing for them, but others may be set on their ideal style. For those worried about this, a pair of good quality, or novelty socks can be a great addition to a gift for men. A special occasion coming up? A nice tie, cufflinks or a pocket square is a thoughtful gift. Does the man you’re gifting for enjoy a particular sport or hobby that requires special clothing? Why not research around that. If this hobby or sport means a lot to them, it will mean equally as much to receive a gift that reflects that.
Something to read
Books are always a good choice for avid readers. If you know that someone has read a particular book by a particular author then you can always ask the store associate to recommend some titles and authors that are similar. Another choice may be an e-reader so that they can choose whatever books they want. Books not really their thing? Maybe consider a magazine subscription related to their favorite hobby.
