The holidays are a perfect time to gift someone you really care about. But some people are really difficult to buy for. It’s the thought that counts, but wouldn’t it be great if they really liked the gift as well as the gesture? Follow these tips on gifts for guys to make spreading holiday cheer just a little bit easier.
The Handy Man
If you’re looking to gift Mr. Fix-it then tools are the right way to go. This is a pretty simple route–no handyman can have too many tools, but definitely go for variety. He already has a basic screwdriver, hammer, etc. so something slightly less common like woodworking tools, a laser level or air compressor could make a perfect addition. I’ve also found that, for the man who enjoys working with his hands, having a workspace is paramount. It’d be a wonderful gesture to clear out a spot just for him to work. Maybe dedicate part of the garage or get a deal on a garden shed to make the perfect workshop.
The Party Animal
Sometimes thoughtful gifts mean enabling behavior. If you have a party animal on your list—this just may be your theme. Getting your guy a particularly interesting flask could work. Find one that fits his personality or engrave it with his initials. Cigars can be a perfect gift for some men. You can spend as much or as little as you want on a cigar. Cigar boxes, cigar cutters and other smoking accessories make good pairings or stocking stuffers. Customized wine stoppers or decanters can also help to class-up his drinking game.
The Fanatic
Every sports fan wants the biggest, clearest and loudest TV on the block. Upgrading your set will be the fastest way to ensure a happy holiday. Scoring some team memorabilia is also a great play. Custom jerseys are the perfect way for a man to show his loyalties. If you can swing it, nothing beats actual tickets to the game.
The Renaissance Man
Deal-a-Day websites are great for men that enjoy the finer things in life. Wine tastings, theater tickets, massages and meals at the newest restaurant in town are all featured items on sites like Groupon and Living Social. Sign-up for one of these sites and you’ll begin getting new deals each day. Jump on whichever is the most appropriate for the men in your life.
