Gift Ideas for Men

 

Whether you are planning for Christmas, Chanukah, birthdays, or Father's Day, you may already be wondering what to get for the men in your life. You may have a husband, boyfriend, father or brother to buy gifts for. You ask them what they want and they say "I don't know". Then you think to yourself, "Well that is not helpful because I don't know either. If I knew, I wouldn't have asked." Here are some gift ideas for the men that can be tricky to shop for.

Technology

For men that enjoy technology and are interested in the newest innovations, a techy type of gift is the right choice. Here are some ideas for tech-inspired gifts:

1. Get him a watch. Luminox watches for men are always a hit. Find a watch that matches the style of the man in your life. Smartwatches are a great choice for techy men. If he is a rugged type, get one with a leather band. If he has a gold-colored wedding ring, pick a gold-colored band to match.
2. Get some blue tooth headphones. This is a great option for music lovers. Choose a pair in his favorite color so he can jam in style.
3. Get a charging station. If he already has a smartwatch and Bluetooth headphones, he will need a way to charge them. A charging station will make this task more convenient. He can keep it on his bedside table and charge all of his smart items together at the same time. This also eliminates the need for all those charger cords, which makes his room appear sleeker and cleaner. And if you need assistance with your technology, BCA IT in Miami is a managed IT service provider that can provide you assistance.

DIY 

Homemade gifts are a thoughtful way to show that you care. Here are some ideas for some great homemade gifts that can fit any budget:

1. Make a gift basket. You can fill it with some of his favorite snacks, sodas or energy drinks, and sweet treats like cookies or candies. If he likes salty snacks, fill the basket with beef jerky, his favorite chips, pretzels, etc. If he has a specific hobby, use items that are themed to that hobby. This is a thoughtful gift because you have to put it together by knowing his likes and interests.

Examples:

• • If he plays tennis you can fill it with tennis balls, sweatbands, healthy snacks like protein bars and trail mix, and his favorite sports drinks to refuel.
  • If he likes to go fishing, fill it with fishing line, hooks, and artificial bait. If he drinks, add a six-pack of his favorite beer for him to enjoy during his next fishing trip.

2. Create a picture with string art. Use a scrap of wood and hammer nails into it to make the shape you want. Then start crisscrossing your embroidery string or yarn randomly from one nail to another until the shape is filled in. Once it is complete, just tie it in a knot around the last nail and cut the end of the string. Make a shape that is meaningful to him in some way.

Examples:

• • You could make the shape of his home state.
  • If he enjoys boating you could make a shape of an anchor or a boat.
  • If he reads comic books, you could make a shape of the bat symbol or a symbol that represents his favorite superhero
  • If he is a Dallas Cowboys football fan you can make the star using blue and white string.

Gift Card

Sometimes a gift card can be the best option. If he loves to eat, get him a gift card to his favorite restaurant. If he is an outdoors type, get a gift card to his favorite sporting goods store.  A gift card can be a great way to show that you care.
