Men are notoriously tricky to buy for, meaning it’s often difficult to find the perfect Christmas present for the man in your life. We all want to give gifts that are meaningful and won’t become clutter in the new year or be easily set aside and forgotten so here are some Christmas gift ideas that he’s sure to love.
Choosing the Perfect Gift
Choosing the perfect present is all about knowing the person you’re buying for and what makes them tick. People love gifts that solve problems for them so you might want to consider a practical present like a set of sharp knives for their kitchen, a voucher for a babysitter or a deep-tissue massage.
Great gift-giving is also about listening to the person and not over-complicating things. If they mention something they would enjoy or point something out, don’t be afraid to take note and get it for them. It isn’t being unimaginative to give someone a present they’re certain to love, it’s being thoughtful!
A Memorable Experience
For people who seem to have everything or are impossible to buy for, an experience gift is a fantastic opportunity for you to give them something they probably wouldn’t buy for themselves. You could gift them an experience based on their hobbies and interests, such as a luxury golf retreat, a beer-tasting session or a night away in their favourite city.
Gifts That Keep Giving
Why not give them a gift that keeps giving throughout the year? Subscription gifts that arrive every month or at set intervals throughout the year mean they’ll still be enjoying this year’s present as next Christmas draws near. There’s plenty of choice of subscription gifts, from magazines and wine to personalised book subscriptions, coffee, gin, houseplants and even sock subscriptions!
Something Practical
Give the man in your life a gift that he can enjoy using on a regular basis or will solve a problem for him, such as a quality repair kit or toolbox, a coffee machine or a pizza oven. Practical gifts are more likely to stand the test of time compared to novelty gifts and as a bonus, you know that every time they use their Christmas present they’ll be reminded of you and your thoughtful gift!
Sentimentality
Don’t be afraid to go for a more sentimental offering. Personalised Christmas presents can make special keepsakes that will be treasured for years to come. You could buy the man in your life a personalised wallet stamped with his initials, have a watch engraved with a special message or have one of his favourite photographs from a special occasion printed and framed so he can enjoy looking at it every day. Sentimental gifts have the bonus of being totally unique and show just how much thought and care you’ve put into choosing his present.
