5 Gift Ideas for the Man in your Life
Oh my two weeks left for Christmas and you still don’t know what to buy for that special man in your life this year. I love buying gifts for my husband, Gary and I have to admit I am feeling a bit stumped on what to buy him this year. My man seems to have everything he needs and if he wants something he will usually just buy it. I know a new big pick up truck or a cool motorcycle parked in the driveway would be pure excitment but those gifts aren’t in my Christmas budget. I’ve thought long and hard trying to come up with 5 gifts I know he would like so here are a few ideas that your man might enjoy this year too.
5 Gift Ideas for the Man who has Everything
For the Outdoorsy Man – Insta 360 X5 Motorcycle Bundle
Great gift idea for the outdoorsy man who likes to capture those epic moments on a dirt bike, mountain bike or snowmobile. I know for a fact Gary would love one of these and it would be an epic gift to capture all those motorcycle and snowmobile memories.
Old Fashioned Smoking Kit
Making an Old Fashioned Gift basket is a wonderful gift idea. You can buy his favorite whiskey, an Old Fashioned Recipe book, an orange, big ice cube molds, a bitters set, and don’t forget a jar of Luxardo cherries.
For the Man who loves a Good Old Fashioned Cocktail
A Soft Winter Sweater
You can’t go wrong with a nice quality sweater
Every year I buy Gary a new sweater in a nice quality soft fabric. Sweaters instantly look dressed up and warm. Currently, I love the brand Vince and love their quality of wool and cashmere. Vince has the softest t-shirts and sweaters. You may find a Vince outlet in your state. I love to shop mens clothing at Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, Saks Off Fifth and Carbon 2 Cobalt to name a few. It is a win win gift – you have a man that looks nice and you get something soft to cuddle up to. ( Another brand my outdoorsy husband loves is Kuhl and every year there is something under the tree.) Would your man look nice in this sweater?
An experience tailored to your man’s passions
Gary and I have always been more about the experience than gifts. It is rare that we buy Birthday presents or Anniversary gifts. We usually plan a weekend away or a trip to celebrate. It is important to create these moments like the time I surprised Gary with a U Fly experience in New Zealand where he actually flew a plane doing crazy aerobatic maneuvers. Make a list of all the things your husband likes to do and find that activity and plan it. Thinking of these ideas will also help come up with a variety of gifts like the fact that Gary needed a pair of mountain bike pants this year. It is cold biking in the PNW this fall season. I also booked a massage for Gary. It is something he really needs and health is important.
Monogrammed Gifts
I love monogrammed gifts for people and think they are a nice touch. We love monogrammed glassware and every man can use a monogrammed set of whiskey glasses. You can even add a monogrammed decanter to go with it or buy one the following year. I bought Gary a Shun monogrammed knife from Williams Sonoma and it is his favorite knife that has lasted for years. A matching set of monogrammed hotel style robes is on my future gift idea list when we have a future hot tub.
If you are stumped this year I hope these 5 gift ideas gave you some inspiration. The Holidays are about so much more than the gifts but there is always that pressure you feel to find the perfect gift for someone you love. Sometimes I wish I could refrain from all the Holiday hoopla but when I do find the perfect gift I love the feeling of giving and it makes me happy. I wish you a splendid Holiday Season and hope you just Fa La La right into the season. Cheers, Bonnie
