Whether he is your boyfriend, brother, dad, uncle, cousin, friend or just the bloke you got lumbered with in the office secret Santa, dreaming up great gift ideas for him is never an easy task. When it comes to the ladies there are numerous handy fall-back presents we can rely on such as jewellery, perfume, pashminas, smellies or chocolate. When it comes to the blokes though, the best that most of us usually manage to find are novelty socks or beer. Oh dear.
Therefore if you are struggling to come up with great gift ideas for him, fret no more! Wave your present purchasing woes goodbye, put the kettle on and simply read through this list of brilliant gift ideas for him that will have you soaring to the top of his Christmas card list in no time!
If the man in question is deserving of something a little special maybe it is a big birthday or he is finally retiring then you might want to splash out a little and opt to buy him an experience day. As is perhaps suggested by the name, experience days give the lucky recipient the chance to either try something exciting and new, fulfil a life-long ambition, or indulge in a favourite hobby or past time. What gift could be better than that?!
Experience days come in all shapes and sizes and there truly is something out there to suit every man. If, for example, the birthday boy has always wanted to try his hand at being a pilot for the day then why not buy him a plane, helicopter or even tiger moth flying lesson? If, however, you think your man would (understandably!) rather sit back and let someone else be in charge, then an Aerobatic or ‘Top Gun’ bulldog experience could be the perfect present! For the really adventurous you could go for a tandem skydiving experience day and for those who like life at a much slower pace a champagne balloon flight could be just the ticket.
Experience days aren’t, however, restricted to the skies there are also many experiences out there that will be loved by petrol heads! Car lovers will surely leap at the chance to drive a Lamborghini or Ferrari and those with a need for speed will love the ultimate Formula 1 driving experience. For something a little out of the ordinary though still following the general driving theme, off road driving, dumper truck racing, double decker bus driving, military driving and monster trucking also make for great experience gift ideas for him!
If, however, you would like to buy the lucky birthday boy an experience day but don’t feel that he would enjoy flying or driving experiences, then there are still plenty to choose from. Adrenaline junkies, for example, will love paintballing, segway rally racing, white water rafting, indoor skydiving, powerboat zapcat blasting, aqua sphereing, ice climbing or bungee jumping. Other fellas might, however, prefer something like a vineyard tour, a food and drink discovery day, a day in a recording studio, a chocolate making workshop or even lunch in gay Paris!
Buying experience days as gifts isn’t for everyone, however and there are plenty of other great gift ideas for him that are much easier to wrap! Personalised gifts, for example, always make great presents, so why not buy him a personalised calendar, as this will last the whole year round? As with experience days, there are many different types of personalised calendars out there to suit everyone from footie fanatics and cricket lovers to green-fingered gardeners and wannabe rock legends. The great thing about personalised calendars is that you can also have them start on any month of the year, meaning that even if your man’s birthday is in July, he’ll be able to start using his new calendar straight away!
Another great personalised gift that will surely be loved by many men is the personalised beer tankard, personalised whiskey tumbler, or even a personalised bottle of whiskey! Tea and coffee drinkers will love a personalised mug and those gents with a sweet tooth will certainly be overjoyed to receive a personalised jar of retro sweets! Personalised football books detailing a particular team’s sporting history will no doubt go down well with footie fans and keen golfers are sure to be pleased with an engraved golf putter.
There are also many great gift ideas out there for men who love little gadgets and gizmos. The new touch Rubik’s cube, for example, will have your gadget lover puzzled for hours and there are no doubt hours of fun to be had with the USB whack it game! Those who can’t help but tap their fingers will love the rather ingenious finger drums and the clocky clock is perfect for those men who just cannot get out of bed in the morning!
So hopefully now you’re feeling a little less stressed about the prospect of dreaming up gift ideas for him and are now ready to get clicking your way to the ideal gift!
