We’ve given you green gift guides, held your hand through the Mother’s Day gifting process, and now we’re going to help you secure the perfect present for a special fellow. Buying gifts for men is enough to inspire fear in the hearts of the bravest of individuals. Whether you receive a non-committal shrug when asking what he wants or you’re fruitlessly trying to determine a great gift for a guy who already has everything under the sun, gift shopping for men can be a stressful endeavor. If you’re on the hunt for great gifts for him, consider these excellent and unique options that will definitely make an impression.
A Book Club
Is the guy in question a literary lover? Is it more common to see him with his nose in a book than watching the big game? Make sure you give nod to his passions and purchase something he’ll love. Companies like The Book Drop will send a box of new book titles to his door every two months, and you can choose themed boxes to ensure he gets the type of literature he prefers. That might be contemporary and historical fiction, or mystery and thriller novels.
Some Relaxation
If he works hard and never takes the time to treat himself to some relaxation, make sure you inspire him to kick his feet up every once in a while. Buy him a gift certificate to a local massage spa. If he’s hesitant to heading to the masseuse (some guys are, it’s strange) then bring the massage home to him with a massage chair pad that he can take to the office or use in his favorite recliner.
Custom Items
If you truly can’t figure out something he doesn’t have, it’s time to take matters into your own hands and customize a gift you know he’ll appreciate. Look at men’s gifts that offer a bit of personalization. Maybe he’s a sports buff that can be found in the den watching some sporting event or another at all hours of the day. Customize some “man cave” décor with his name that will be a cheeky but appreciate gift that he can hang on the wall. Perhaps he’s a workaholic that spends long hours at the office; engraved desk organizers will add a sense of refinement and heartfelt touches to his desk space.
A Special Experience
Memories are always a better gift than material items, and if you want to experience something fun with the special fellow, check out the awesome experiences available on FunSherpa.com. This website collects all the activities available in your local area, and you can find inexpensive options like a kayaking trip or splurge on something like a skydiving adventure. There are numerous experiences to choose from, and you’re sure to find something that he’s always wanted to try. Depending on where you live, you might even find a gift certificate that will allow him to be a fighter pilot for a day.
An At-Home Bar
If the special fellow is an alcohol connoisseur that loves to mix drinks and has developed a taste for the finer beverages in life, consider creating an at-home bar that will make it so he doesn’t have to leave the comfort of his house. Start with a refined bar cart that utilizes modern materials, like those found at Chairish.com. Once you’ve got the cart in place, start filling it with all the essentials. Grab some tumblers, martini glasses, and shot glasses that he can use to serve all of his favorite libations. Don’t forget to grab some whiskey stones to keep his drinks cold without watering them down. Last, but definitely not least, grab his favorite types of liquors. Whether you go with gin, rum, vodka, or an assortment, he’s sure to appreciate this all-encompassing at-home bar setup and likely make a drink or two the moment it’s unwrapped.
A Barbecuer’s Dream
If the special dude is a barbecue chef extraordinaire, make sure all of his meats are cooked to perfection and marked with his approval by purchasing a customized branding iron that he can use to sear onto all those steaks, burgers, and tri-tips. On BBQfans.com, you can customize an iron and the box in which it goes in and present it to the barbecue maven for a surprise he’ll definitely get a kick out of using.
