I wanted to share some ideas in case you need them for a big item or just a little something for your stocking! Hope this list of my favs helps you on your gift quest! Last minute quest!
- Book a dinner at your favorite restaurant or his favorite place or a new place he’s been wanting to check out and buy a gift card and place inside a pretty package
- Buy something he wants but is always postponing purchasing, like a groomer, here is a link to an excellent one!
- Give the gift of music. My husband loves music but never gets the songs he likes on iTunes … well, buy a gift certificate for iTunes or Googleplay or Amazon.
- Give the gift of coffee or tea or a smoothie. Buy a gift certificate online. Right now you can buy them online and send them to the person and they will have their credit on their phone to be used every time they want to get one more cup! Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts both have the app.
- Give the gift of technology. If your man loves tech gadgets, buy him a new phone or tablet or gear! It’s amazing what’s out there, check out what Samsung has just launched! Their new gear allows you to access your data and many other apps on your wrist!
- Book a date, hire a sitter, make a reservation, make a point to book a night/day for just the two of you!
- Give him something he REALLY wants! Every year I give my husband a visa gift card, so he can go and buy anything he wants! It’s super easy to buy a visa prepaid card for any amount you wish to gift them. This way, the men in your life can go out and spend it on anything they want (or need). Sometimes they will not tell us what they really want and this gift will take the g (guess) out of gift and add a WOW factor!
Hope you enjoyed my suggestions, can’t wait to hear yours!
My dad has always been difficult to buy for. When I was younger, my brother and I waited a few years thinking the DVD set of a show would drop in price. We knew my dad really liked the show, but this DVD set never really went down in price (our buying potential was limited at the time). Finally we just decided to go for it one year and buy it. I’m not sure my dad ever really got around to watching it.
Loved hearing your story! I hope he had a chance to watch it!
One of the things I like to do is put a personalized coupon book together. My husband loves it. I would put stuff like … All day shed time (where he goes and plays around with his motorcycles) or “No mommy and Oli Day” for the times he could just want alone time, or “sexy time” … you get it.
Love it!
The tech ideas always work on my hubs!
Love all of your ideas! Thanks for the inspiration!
I always get my dad an iTunes gift card. I know he’ll use it!
My son loves getting iTunes GCs!
What great ideas!! I need to get shopping!
Love the new Samgsung Note 3 and the Samsung Smart Watch, definitely a must have for a gadget lover.
Oh thank you! So nice to see a man’s gift guide without tools! Hubby hates getting those 🙂 Event tickets are a great idea esp if its a surprise.
On my way to shop the men in my life now… Perfect timing with this post. Better late than never, right?
Great ideas! This year I knew there was an item he wanted but would never spend the money on. So hobby gift it was!
