Men are incredibly difficult to shop for. If yours is anything like Aaron, he wont tell me what he wants- he simply says “I don’t need anything.” And, if your guy is anything like mine, he rarely treats himself to anything, so I always like to get him fun things as opposed to the items he really needs (I can always get those after the holidays or leave it up to my mom to get him socks and dress shirts).
Here is a list of fun little and big items for every price range that a man is guaranteed to appreciate. I also think that many of these gifts can inspire other gifts. Whiskey decanter, buy a nice bottle of whiskey. Record player—find some vintage records a local thrift store. Bottle Opener? Hello beer of the month club. See where Im going with this? Another helpful hint is to not count out items we would want just because we’re shopping for a man. What guy wouldn’t want cool workout clothes as opposed to old high school tee-shirts? Or skincare..I don’t know a man who actually wants wrinkles and acne- shouldn’t they be able to take care of their manly complexions as well? J
What do you usually get the special guy(s) in your life? Do you find them as difficult to shop for as I do?
