Thoughtful Gifts for Men
As the name suggests, thoughtful gifts for men should include gifts that are well thought of! When it comes to getting a thoughtful gift, things like brand, price, occasion, etc., do not matter at all. All that matters is the feel and the 'thought' behind it. You don't have to think of getting them dazzling jewelry and sparkling diamonds. A simple practical gift that can be useful for men in their everyday life, is all what it takes to bring a smile on their face. In no way do I mean that women are more 'expensive' than men, but they are hard to please. So, the sure shot way to please women would be to do something extraordinary for them, right? But when it comes to men, they mostly have a much more practical approach and anything that meets this criterion would be the best thoughtful gift for them.
Thoughtful Gifts Ideas for Men
Well, if you look at it practically, then the best gifts for men would be to gift them something that they require but are unable to get due to some reasons. For example, if he wants to get a new gadget but is unable to get it because of some reason, and if your budget allows you to do so, go ahead and get the gadget for him and surprise him. :-) Or, if there is something that he is extremely passionate about, like traveling, cooking, sports, etc., then get a gift that can add to the passion that exists in him. For example, of he loves to travel, giving him a surprise by gifting a travel vacation for him and you would be a great way to do something thoughtful for him. It is not necessary that the gift should be extremely expensive and huge. Small and inexpensive gifts are also equally effective in winning their hearts. All you need to do, is to give in a good thought about the gift that would suit him the most.
Hobby Specific Gifts
Men are known for their hobbies and passion. Which is why they are 'the collectors' of things they admire the most like scents, shoes, gadgets, pens, watches, ties etc. If your man has similar passions, then there is no better gift that you can get for him. Get him an add on for his collection and there could be nothing more perfect for him than this. Also, if he has other hobbies like cooking, traveling or other adventure activities, then get him a gift voucher wherein he can enjoy his hobbies to the maximum. Passes to his favorite adventure activity, tickets to 'his type' of destination are among some examples.
No Clothes, Only Accessories!
If you are planning to get your man some clothes...then 'don't' do it. Trust me, men hate wearing clothes that are not picked by them. This is because every man has a different taste and different color tones when it comes to clothes. Some like earthy tones, some go for bluish tones and there are some who like it flashy. Unless you have not carefully observed their style of dressing, do not get them clothes as presents. The alternate option in this case would be accessories. You can gift them sunglasses, watches, cufflinks, card holders, cigarette holders, etc., which can add to their personality. Trust me, they would love it. :)
No Man Says No to Sports
If you are really confused and really can't figure out what would be the ideal gift for him, then just go for a gift that is related to his favorite sports team. Trust me, sports oriented gifts for men is your key to jackpot. You can get tickets for the live match of his favorite team, you can also get a jersey of his favorite team for him, and similar stuff. For example, if he is a huge golf fan, then passes for free golf lessons, or a brand new golf kit would be the best choice.
Lifestyle Oriented Gifts
Another option is to get him something that can help enhance his lifestyle. If you think he has gained a lot of weight lately, then a gym membership would be a great gift. If he is into gadgets, then get him the latest version of his existing collection of gadgets. He would completely love it.
Personalized Gifts
A personalized gift is a great way to display your affection for him. You can get him a personalized photo frame with yours and his pictures and names. Personalized photo cubes are also gaining a lot of popularity these days. These small thoughtful gifts would be most appreciated as he can keep them with him on his work desk, and just look at them and think of you with a smile. :) You can also get him a personalized mug as men love huge mugs for their daily caffeine intake. Mugs that are bold, huge and personalized would be well appreciated by all men.
These thoughtful gifts can be both expensive as well as inexpensive, depending upon the choice of gifts that you select. Choosing a gift for a man needn't be so complicated. Even a home cooked meal with some wine can do the trick! :) So, what did you decide to get for him?
