Anniversary Gift Ideas For Men

Marrying for love may be a bit risky, but it is so honest that God can't help but smile on it. Josh Billings

Anniversaries are the perfect time to let your guy know what he means to you. I agree that most women think that picking out a gift for a guy is perhaps more difficult that anything else in this world, however with a little bit of thought, you can woo your guy with the perfect anniversary gift. Anniversary gift ideas for men need not always be limited to conventional items like cufflinks, chocolates, dinner at a restaurant or a selection of ties.

How to Select the Perfect Anniversary Gift

While thinking of options for an anniversary gift for a man, the most common mistake that women make is look for something that they would like. For example look for a shirt or say a cap that she thinks would look great on him...Well ladies, when it comes to buying a gift for him, keep the focus on "what he would love" and less on "what you would want him to have". Think of a gift that you are sure he would love. It is likely that while doing this, you might end up with a gift, which you are not really happy about, but rest assured that if you get him what he is going to love, his smile be worth the effort you put in.

Think of all the things that he is passionate about (apart from you). It could be anything related to his profession or any other interests like gadgets, astronomy, painting or sports, which he loves to pursue apart from work. There is no question of guessing here, since an anniversary gift implies the fact that you guys have been together long enough to know each other's likings and disliking. Shopping for a guy is like shopping for a kid - they usually have certain very specific likings, which are not very difficult to figure out.

First of all, try to recollect all his hobbies and interests, which could lead you to the perfect gift idea. Think of his favorite sport - baseball, basketball or any other sport that he is really interested in. Then think of the possible gift related to the sport. For example, if you know his favorite player, or a favorite team - then think of all the goodies that could be possible gifts. Option one could be tickets to the game of course you need to get really great seats to make him really happy. Other options, which can even, be add-ons to the game ticket - can be the official jersey of the team, (get the one with his favorite player's number), or even personally autographed bats, balls and other sports accessories and memorabilia. So the bottom line is - stick to his tastes and interests no matter what.

Now, about the gift wrapping, the flowers and the frills - stop right there ladies! Remember that when a guy says you didn't have to take the pains to wrap the gift beautifully, he means it. Unlike women, a majority of men care little when it comes to the gift-wrapping and pretty satin laces. So when it comes to buying an anniversary gift for a man, you can save money on the extra frills and decorations and invest the whole amount on the gift itself. It really doesn't matter to them whether the pretty little satin bow matches the stripes on the wrapping paper or not. For all they care you might as well give them their gift in the bag that you got for free at the store. Finish off the gift-giving session with a big hug and kiss; that's all he cares about than fancy wrapping paper and bows.
