Gift Giving Guide 2020: For Him Edition
When it comes to giving gifts for the holidays, It’s always a struggle to find the perfect gift. If your boyfriend/ significant other/ man in your life is anything like mine, they have probably already determined that they don’t need anything from you this holiday season. So in order to make it fair, we always set a price point for the gift giving. We believe giving a gift is supposed to be more about the effort and thought put into finding the perfect gift. In my opinion, there are a few different types of gifts: the useful gift, the sweet gift, the hobby gift, and the I liked it gift. I will break up each category to help you find the perfect gift for your man! The price point just means you have to get creative.
Useful Gifts
These gifts are pretty self explanatory. They are gifts you know that he would use on the daily and have a specific purpose in their routine.
Skin Care
My Boyfriend actually asked me for this. I think because I am so obsessed with it, he wants to try it but he doesn’t know how. I am checking out Ulta for all his skincare needs. I think a basic face wash, a moisturizer, and an SPF.
Blue Light Glasses
With everyone working at home and on computers constantly, blue light glasses are a must have item! They provide so many benefits. My dad is an eye doctor and they are his favorite type of glasses. Everyone in my family has a pair. Check out all the benefits: https://www.eyerelax.net/
Slippers
Everyone loves a good pair of slippers. Who doesn’t love to walk around on a cloud or a have your feet surrounded by fluff. This is why slippers are the perfect gift!
Shaving Kit
What is more masculine than shaving your beard? Regardless of your man’s facial hair status he will definitely need to shave or polish up. There are so many different razors and kits. One that I have seen every where is Harry's .
Wallet
Wallets are great because they are guaranteed to be used everyday. A good wallet will last 10 plus years.
Universal Socket Tool
These Universal Socket Tools are great for any tool owner.
Sweet Gifts
These gifts are normally handmade (never said it had to be your hands). You’ve probably put a lot of work and thought into them. They came from your heart and are almost definitely related to you two as a couple.
Coupon Book
Coupon books are super sweet. They don’t have to be for actual things that cost money. It can be a back massage, choice of movie, or even bath time. They will feel super special and it’s a great gift with a bunch of little gifts.
Photo Album
My boyfriend and I actually gave each other scrapbooks for our anniversary. We loved them and it was a great way to reflect and remember great times in our relationship. Photo albums are the exact same. You can either make your own or send photos into multiple different photo printing services.
Custom Games
My Boyfriend and I love to play Connect 4 and Uno. He always wins, but we always have a good time doing it. This is a custom game set from Uncommon Goods. Getting something that the two of you like to do together means you can do it too! Custom Connect4 Game
Hobby Gift
There are countless hobbies someone can have. They almost all require gear, accessories, or equipment. Those are easy gifts that could totally go into the useful category. But there are also the hobby gifts that aren't necessities. They make it more fun, easier, or even more chic. These are the types of gifts that his friends with the same hobbies always say “damn that’s so cool”.
Sports Lovers
My boyfriend is the biggest sports lover I know. I think anything that can take his obsession and make it in to “tasteful” decor is the perfect gift! He doesn’t care about how it looks, but I do and I know he will love this! A Map of all the MLB parks. I know its something he wants to do,OR saving his tickets in this Ticket Stub Diary . Some other ideas are:
Anything from his favorite teams
Tickets
Drinkware
Tailgating supplies
Grill Master
I don’t know why, but men love to grill. My boyfriend loves to grill, and lucky for him I love grilled food! He is just getting started with grilling, but there are so many accessories that you can get. This Outdoor Beer Table is the perfect accessory for any griller!
Outdoorsy
If your man loves to be outside, that is great! There are so many things outdoorsy men can use and enjoy outside. This multitool Multitool Axe is great for the camper and always prepared guy.
Golfer
I am sure any man that loves golfing has been spending plenty of time playing since COVID-19. Giving the gift of golf for inside is the perfect gift as it gets colder. The best part about getting him the indoor putting green is that he will play in the house! So he will be there if you need him.
Music Lover
Music is such a great love to have. I found that people in love with music are so heartfelt. The gifts to give a music lover are endless, but something super meaningful is this Personalized Lyric Print that will mean a lot to anyone.
Work Out Junkie
If your boy lives a healthy, workout lifestyle, they probably only need the basics. This gym work out kit for home means that they stay home with you and out of the gym.
When their muscles are sore, there are a ton of massage tools to invest in. This one is Muscle Roller Leg Massager it’s perfect for relaxing sore muscles.
Chef Boyfriend
If you have a man that loves to cook, first - congrats! I am super jealous of you. It can be super fun to find new gadgets to get your chef boyfriend. Regardless of his skill level, he will love this Oil Sprayer . It’s great for roasting and coating!
I Like It Gift
These gifts honestly have several names; you're too difficult to shop for, I thought of you when I saw it, I want it so I got it for the both of us.
Subscription Services
Subscription services are a great gift! It is literally the gift that keeps on giving (up to a year usually). Its super fun because every time the package comes or they use it, they will think of you. These can be:
Clothing
There are a few reasons to give clothes as a gift. Either they get new clothes and they will love it, OR you can steal it, OR they will look great in it. I love giving clothes as a gift to my boyfriend. He is pretty picky, but when he wears the clothes I’ve given him, he always looks good.
Spa Night
Even men like to relax. This is a fun gift for them because it gives them a chance to relax and pamper themselves (which men never do). Maybe you can do a spa night with him using your own products. This Spa Night Kit will provide everything your man could need to RELAX!
Snack Boxes
Who doesn’t love snacks? These Man Crates are the perfect pre-made snack box. They have so many different types; jerky, nuts, even keto. Or if you don’t want to buy one, make one. It is super easy to pick up their favorite snacks and a basket to hold them all.
