In years past I have struggled to find just the “right” present, always hoping it’s something they enjoy. No one wants to be that person where the receiver says, “Why are they buying me THIS!?” You know, the gift of a bow tie but they never wear bow ties, let alone ties! Or that homemade gift that really should never have happened. I did this once. It was supposed to be a beautiful blanket but I tied two of the ends too tight and it looked more like a cape instead! Yeah, I know….it should never have happened. That said, I will be the first to tell you that it’s the thought that counts. However, you need to put some of that “thought” into the gift giving process. I have found some really exciting Christmas gifts for the men in my life so I put together a men’s gift guide.
One of the things I try to do is pay more attention to what people are saying or not saying. This can provide clues to what they may want for Christmas. It has helped me in the past. For example, my husband is getting ready in the morning and complaining that his socks have holes in them. I just go on ignoring him (lol!) but meanwhile I am thinking…”buy socks for hubby for Christmas”. Or maybe they are grilling outside and mention they can’t see anything. This is a good opportunity to buy them a grilling light. I do believe it’s the thought that counts but you have to think and pay attention.
You may just need something small or you’re looking for a gift to impress so I’ve shared a variety of options from low to high priced items. For example, I own a coat from Canada Goose. This would be a luxury gift, however it may be just what you are looking for. It is warm and timeless. I also included on the gift guide socks. Just as I mentioned above, my husband’s socks have holes in them so I bought some for him for Christmas…I hope he doesn’t read this! Anyway, take a look and I hope this men’s gift guide makes things a little easier. If you gift any of these items and the men in your life enjoyed them please share below!
