Finding just the right gift for anyone can be tough, but men can be the hardest to shop for. The best way to approach finding a gift for the man in your life is to know what they like. Knowing what hobbies they have can seriously make the process easier and less complicated. Also I find that if you think like a man, meaning you think “what would I want if I was a guy but would not necessarily buy for myself” you can come up with a number of ideas. I always also aim for something that I know his mom won’t by him! Avoid the sweater and slippers scenario to ensure great gift giving! Here are some of the gifts ideas we have for the men in your lives.
The Outdoors Man
He loves to camp, work outside and maybe loves to go hunting with his pals. Why not get a pocket knife. Knife Art has some unique choices for beautiful pocket knives to fit any budget. Check out Knife Art’s new products for December and grab a deal for your outdoorsy guy! Every outdoors man needs a pocket knife so give him one that he will love!
The Finer Things in Life Guy
Have a man that loves to be clean shaven, pampered and prefers the finer things in life? How about personalized labels of his favorite whiskey. You can personalize labels for free through Knob Creek and Crown Royal. You can also put together a gift basket “man-scaping” tools, like razors, shaving cream, aftershave and cologne. I love to use free samples for men for just this purpose!
The Kid at Heart
Lot’s of guys are really just big kids at heart! It might be poker, or board games with the kids but these guys love to just have fun! There are scores of coupons out there for board games, comedy’s on DVD and fun things like popcorn or candy to go with them. How about a whole box of fun things to do with the family. Include a movie, popcorn, candy, soda and pretzels. What about a game night box with board games, snacks and drinks. The kid at heart will love this thoughtful gift.
The Chef
If the guy you are buying for loves to cook, you can put together a great gift of cooking accessories, spices, an apron and even a gift card to his favorite market. Cookbooks make a great gift too! Maybe he has always wanted to try to learn how to make the perfect Thai meal or has a passion for making the perfect sweet treats. The possiblities are endless for this guy! You can score some great deals on cooking related gifts around the holidays! Check out your local grocery store as well as stores like Williams-Sonoma for holiday deals!
Gift giving for the guy in your life does not have to be that hard! You just need to think about what really makes him special and then go with it!
