Gifts For Him

At first thought, the prospect of choosing a gift for a man seems fairly daunting. There’s no failsafe option of buying a last minute soap/candle gift pack like people so often do for women when they’ve got no idea what to buy. If only there was a male equivalent to this, or better yet, what if there was some just as easy, but somewhat more exciting gift idea options,

It’s a well-known fact that men hate shopping.  This makes buying them a present that much easier. It means that anything you buy them will be appreciated, because it will save them the much considered arduous task of venturing to the shopping centre themselves, to buy it.

Some popular (and safe) options for gifts for men are things such as; alcohol, an easy and well received gift that you can buy for men of any age and taste. Clothes, because let’s face it, it saves them from having to go out and choose them themselves. DVD’s, they’re always a good gift because you can tailor them to suit the person you’re buying for based on their movie preferences. Similarly, games are popular gift idea, more so for younger men. They do pose a challenge when buying though, as it is difficult for someone who doesn’t play games themselves, to have any hope at differentiating the latest and greatest graphically advanced action game, from space invaders. Gift vouchers are also a very good gift idea for men. Although it is seems somewhat contradictory to give a man a gift that essentially forces him to go to the shops, you’ll find that their attitude towards shopping will change dramatically, when they aren’t spending their own money. Although gift vouchers can be slightly impersonal, at the end of the day it is still a thoughtful gift as well as a practical one.

Some other gift ideas, from a range of different budgets include; magazine subscriptions, ‘experiences’ such as bungy jumping, a lap in a v8 supercar etc, wallet, watch,  cologne, tools, and of course, socks and jocks.

Men are generally easy going when it comes to receiving gifts and so it’s pretty hard to go wrong. As long as you keep in mind simple things like his age and general interests, as well as his relationship to you, eg, father, brother, boyfriend, friend, it’s easy to narrow down the wide variety of possibilities to suit the occasion as well as giving a gift that you know won’t end up stored in the back of the garage or wardrobe, and never see the light of day.
