Men are undeniably hard to shop for. Some insist that they’re happy with nothing at all, some already bought everything he wants for himself, and others are just hard to read, so it’s hard to tell which ones they will like.
Unlike women, it’s very challenging to shop for men. Yet, they too need to be spoiled even from time to time. If you too are struggling to think of what present to give to your dad, partner, or guy friend, here are some ideas that we’re sure they will love.
Watch
If you want something meaningful to give, watches are a great option as the wearer will always be reminded of you when they wear them on their wrist. Watches are also symbolic. Especially, if it’s custom made, such as full hunter pocket watches where the cover makes an ideal canvas to engrave a message or a promise.
Since they keep track of time, they serve as a reminder that you will always spend every moment possible with the receiver. Hence, it is one of the common gifts that brides give to their husbands for weddings.
Wallet
A lot of us often overlook wallets as a gift because it’s one of the most common and most used items that we all have. So, we usually just buy it for ourselves. But, believe it or not, just like watches, wallets are also symbolic.
Since it (obviously) carries money, many people see it as a symbol of success, ability, and wealth. That said, if you were to gift your guy friend, partner, or relative with a men’s vertical bifold wallet, it means that you’re wishing them well, especially when it comes to money, ability, and success. And, of course, they are practical gifts too.
Kitchen Tools
Gone are the days when women are the only ones who’d spend time in the kitchen. These days, even men can compete in the kitchen too.
And if your partner, friend, or relative is fond of cooking or baking, kitchen tools can be a good gift idea too. Consider giving them aprons, baking tools, high-quality pans, or just anything that they can use in the kitchen. They’ll definitely be reminded by you whenever they do what they love – which is spending time in the kitchen.
Shoes
Some people don’t like giving shoes as a gift because of superstitious beliefs. Some say that such gestures will bring you bad luck while some believe that it will prolong their life. Others, on the other hand, say it might make the receiver walk away from you in the future. But, some say that you’d go shoeless in the afterlife if you don’t give shoes as a gift even once in your life.
It sure is a tough choice, but if I were you, I’d forget superstitions. It would be a waste if you don’t spoil your man with a good pair of shoes. His feet also need some TLC from time to time, you know.
Anything Related to Video Games
Statistics show that more men are into video games than women in the US alone. So, it’s likely that your partner or friend is into video games too. Regardless of what his preferred genre is, gifting anything related to video games is one of the safe options for you.
You can give him gaming consoles, like the PS5. But if you’re on a budget, you can also buy him gaming accessories instead or the title he’s been eyeing. He’ll surely love collectibles related to his favorite game too.

Tickets to His Favorite Game
If he’s into sports, he’ll probably love it if you’ll buy him tickets to see his favorite game live. This might be a little problem for you, though, if you’re not into the sports he’s into.
But the good news is that it’s a chance for you to try to understand why he loves it. It’s a good moment to bond with him too as he explains the game for you as you both watch. Or if you’re not really into the sports, it would still be fun to watch him get excited watching his favorite game live, right?
Fitness Accessories
It might be offensive for some people to receive fitness accessories. But if the person you’re gifting is a fitness junkie, it will surely be more appreciated.
There are so many options out there – you can buy him a pair of boxing gloves, personalized hand wraps, workout bars, Mixed Martial Arts equipment, etc., depending on his workout routine. But if you’re not sure about his workout program, you can play safe and give him phone holders, headphones, gym bag, and the likes.
There are far more things that you can give men as gifts, though. Regardless, it’s the thought that counts.
