With Christmas around the corner, chances are you’re puzzling your brain what to get your nearest and dearest. Whether you’re buying for a boyfriend, husband, son, close friend or other male family member it can be tricky. Men tend to have fairly simple tastes and if they want something they will buy it themselves which isn’t useful for you in a gift giving situation. However there are a few ideas that are pretty foolproof and are things that most men with use and enjoy. Here are some ‘main present’ ideas for when you’re looking to spend a little more.
Technology
Tech gifts are always a good choice. It could be a phone, tablet, laptop, computer or tv or it could be an accessory such as a pair of headphones or speakers. It could be a smart home accessory, from a voice controlled speaker to smart CCTV, heating or pet cameras. Technology has come a long way even in the past few years, there are plenty of cool things out there that would make an ideal gift for a tech lover.
Gadgets and Gaming
Linked with technology are gadgets and gaming, something a lot of men will have some kind of interest in. It could be a computer console, a VR headset or gaming accessories. It could be a done- something like a Sky Viper Drone would be a good choice as it’s lightweight and therefore doesn’t have to be registered with the FAA. So makes for a hassle free hobby drone, the perfect gift for someone into these kinds of things. You can buy things like ‘hoverboards’ (essentially self balancing scooters) segways, remote controlled cars and all kinds of other nifty gadgets depending on what their interests are.
High End Accessories
Clothing is such a personal choice it’s not recommended to buy it as a gift unless you know the person really well. However nice accessories make for fantastic gifts. Wallets, belts, cufflinks, even jewellery if you know them well and what their style is. Your best bet would be to choose plainer styles that will appeal to most people. A wallet for example could be purchased in plain black leather with the designers logo embossed in one corner. It’s luxurious and inoffensive, something that will suit most people’s style. Sunglasses are another good option if you know their style, if for example you know they wear and like aviators you could upgrade them to a stunning designer pair bearing in mind the shape of the lenses, style and colours they already wear and like.
Have a think about the personality and tastes of the person you’re buying for and go from there. It’s said that the best gifts are things that people can’t or won’t buy for themselves which is what makes these luxurious items particularly nice. A great way to treat someone and make Christmas wonderful for someone special.
