Gifts for Him

Unique Gift Ideas for Men
From the Summit of Mt. Baldy looking back out over toward the city (below the clouds).
​Whether it's our brother, father, husband, boyfriend, or friend, we all find ourselves going on the hunt for the man that wants nothing. To guide you in finding something he'll enjoy, we've rounded up unique and cool gifts for men.
​​While you're on your gift search, try to keep these categories in mind; travel, business accessories, sports, alcohol, hobbies, and gadgets. You can't go wrong with hobby gifts but ask him what he needs or wants first, because just as we ladies are particular with our beauty products, he may be too.

​What to Get a Man Who Wants Nothing?

If you're at a loss, go with something he typically buys for himself; polos, hats, sneakers, etc. Most likely, these aren't things guys want to buy for themselves, and they would prefer to be spending money on their hobby, so when you do it for him, it's appreciated.

​Think about his hobbies and day-to-day activities. Is he using anything that's looking shabby lately? Are there any innovations for his sporting activity, working out, hunting, or fishing that he may want?  The answers to these questions are a starting point in helping you answer what's the best gift for him.

​Sports loungewear is my mom's go-to best gift for my husband. Every year Josh gets something to represent his team around the house, he loves it, and it usually needs replacing by then anyway.

​​If he's a business traveler, travel gifts are a great way to have him traveling with ease, comfort, and style.

​Do Guys Like Personalized Gifts?

It depends on your guy and the item that you're adding personalization. If you're unsure, subtle personalization may be the best way to go. There are several suggestions below to help you decide.

​What Do Guys Like for Surprises?

​Anything thoughtful with him in mind is a great surprise. A few ideas are getting him tickets to a show he's been wanting to see or a game to watch his favorite team and cooking his favorite meal. 

Acts of kindness also make great surprises for guys; getting his car serviced or washed, doing his yard work for the week, or taking his watches in to be fixed- I've done this one. Think of something that feels like a chore for him to do and see if you can get it done for him.
