Struggling to find gifts for the gentlemen in your life? You’re not alone. Men are some of the hardest people to shop for. Unless you’re looking for pricey electronics or a bland tie, big box stores won’t help the cause. But don’t let shopping-induced stress poison holiday joy. If you’re struggling to find a stylish gift for your husband, boyfriend, son or dad, well, you’re welcome.
Sport Coats
Everyone can use a reliable and good looking jacket, but most men hate shopping for them. Help the man in your life by getting him a statement-making sport coat. Be sure to consider his style and lifestyle before picking something out. It is tempting to pick what you think is fashion-forward – follow this temptation! You want to pick something he will wear, but don’t be afraid to push his boundaries. You can certainly try to upgrade his look, but it should still be his look.
Accessories
Cufflinks, ties, and watches are easy gifts for men. Accessories like these remain popular because men actually like to get them – and you don’t need to know their sizes. But don’t just buy generic max packs from your local big box store. Find unique and luxurious items so every time they wear them they think of you.
Scents
Cologne and aftershave are thoughtful gifts because it’s something most men rarely buy for themselves. Picking scents can be a delicate process, especially since peoples’ skins react differently to certain colognes and lotions. Additionally, colognes produce a slightly different smell for certain people. Pick a scent that is both pleasant to you and that you think would be pleasing to the recipient of your gift. Giving cologne or aftershave as a gift allows you to provide guidance when it comes to his signature scent. Our favorites are from Tom Ford and Creed.
Watches
A good watch is one of the most important accessories a man can have. Picking a watch can be very personal, as well as expensive, so do your research before you make a decision. The most gift-able watches are in the $300-$900 range, unique and special, but not over the top. If you are buying this gift on your own, be sure to consider the recipient’s lifestyle. There are high-end sport watches that are aesthetically pleasing and can be worn with a more formal outfit. On the other end, there are dress watches that are extremely functional and don’t need to be limited to special occasions.
Services
If your gentleman seems to already have everything, consider hiring someone to do something for him. A great couple’s massage is always a fun option for a gift you can enjoy together. A maid service is perfect for someone who never has time to clean. Consider a personal stylist for someone who never knows what to wear or a custom suiting appointment for the man who has it all – including impeccable taste that no gift-giver could possibly replicate.
