How to Pick the Right Kind of Gift for Your Husband

There are many different types of gift that you can get for your husband. So, I’ve separated the best ideas into different categories. Each category provides a gift that is a little different from the rest.

Something Practical

The great thing about buying a gift that has a practical application is that’s more likely to be useful to the person that you’re buying for. There are loads of practical items that make good gifts for men. If they have a particular hobby, you could get something that helps them carry it out. Or you could get something simple like a new leather wallet or somewhere to hang their keys, so they don’t lose them. All these ideas are very practical, and they all make great gifts for busy men with a lot of important stuff to do.

Something They Love

You can’t go too far wrong if you buy a gift that relates to something that they love in life. Maybe they’re a fan of a specific sports team, for example. If this is the case, you should buy them some tickets to a big game or a jersey with their name on the back of it. It’s a pretty straightforward gift. But the great thing about it is that it’s sure to go down well with your husband. Or you could get them something that they enjoy as a treat. This could mean some pipe tobacco or maybe a bottle of their favourite alcoholic drink. Or you could take them out for an evening at their favourite restaurant with their friends and family.

Something Unforgettable

If you want your gift to be as great as it possibly can be, it should be something that your husband will never forget. Many gifts are forgotten about within half a year. But some of the best can provide memories that last for a lifetime. For example, you could give them flying lessons or the chance to do a bungee jump. If they have something like that on their bucket list but haven’t done it yet, you should give them the chance. It’s sure to be something that stays with them for a very long time. It costs a little more money to buy this kind of gift, but it could be worth it if they remember it forever.

Something Unexpected

You don’t have to stick to the conventional ideas or the things that your husband will expect. Often, the best gifts are the ones that come out of the blue. Your husband might not even know that they want the gift you get them into they’ve actually got it. In many ways, this is the best answer. For this option, you have to think outside the box and find ways to get to the bottom of what gift will be bother appreciated and unexpected by your husband. Only you can up with the answer! It should be something that you think would work for them even though they don’t know it yet.

Gift Guide for the Man in Your Life

I like to read gift guides to get some advice and gift idea inspiration. So I thought I would share a gift guide with some ideas for the man in your life. Whether you have a husband or boyfriend, or it is your dad or a teenage son, they will all have birthdays this year. The gifts could also work for valentine’s day, anniversary or other special occasion. It can just be a struggle to know what to get them sometimes, can’t it? So if you need some inspiration, read on.

Aftershave & Cologne

This always works well for anyone because who doesn’t want to smell nice? They all bathe and shave too, right, so it is a must have. It is always good if you pick out the scent and you like how they smell too. Go for more musky, woody scents, rather than floral.

Man Crate

Have you heard of ‘man crates’? It is just a term for a hamper for men and it is totally a thing! Grab a wooden crate, or even a box or wicker basket if you’d like. Then fill it with some of their favourite things. It could include their favourite foods or sweets. If you are feeling extra creative then how about filling it with some home baked goods? Some male grooming products will go down well too. Does your man love DIY? If so, you could go for a man crate filled with DIY essentials or tools.

How about adding some fun games or toys like a remote control helicopter or something more quirky like a record player? There are a lot of options around, you just need to plan ahead and shop around. Gifts like this are great because they are a bit more unusual. Made just for your man. Have a look at some more unusual gifts for him at Cuckooland.com.

Drinks

If they drink, they getting them their favourite tipple will be a winner. You could even get them something fun like a ‘brew your own beer’ kit or ‘make your own wine’ set. There are a variety of these on the market at varying prices. It also doubles up as something fun that you can do together.

Clothes & Accessories

In my experience, men don’t buy themselves as many clothes or accessories as women do. It is more when they need something new, rather than just wanting something new. So how about treating them to something new? You could get them some new boxers or briefs or socks or slippers. If you have a little more to spend, you could splash out on a new watch or sunglasses. They are signature items for men! Other cools things would be some new workout gear if that is their thing, or perhaps a new hat or a  leather satchel. There are a lot of options so just think of your men and your budget and go from there.

Good luck with your gift buying. If you plan enough in advance, you could make sure that they have the best birthday or valentine’s day ever!

Unsure What Gift To Bring To A Christening? Here’s 3 Gift Idea To Help You

Being invited to a Christening is an incredible honour. You’ll get to witness, usually a baby being introduced into a religious life and get the chance the celebrate with their friends and family. If you aren’t religious yourself or if you’ve never been invited to a christening before, you might be feeling unsure as to what gift to bring with you. But don’t worry there are plenty of options out there for you to choose from. Here are three gift ideas to help your buy the perfect gift to commemorate this very special occasion.

Something personalised

Personalised christening gift ideas are popular as they add an extra special touch. These are often the gifts that people will treasure as it has something unique to them included in the gift. You could get a silver bangle or locket engraved with the baby’s name and the date of their christening. Or a special message embroidered onto a teddy bear or an item on clothing. Always ensure you get the right spelling and correct date before having anything personalised. This could be quite embarrassing otherwise.

Something religious

This can be a risky choice if you aren’t particularly religious or have no experience with this particular religion. Do plenty of research into Christianity beforehand to make sure you buy items that are suitable. Adorable religious artwork the parents can hang in the nursery or toys such as a small Noah’s ark would make excellent religious gifts. Items that include Christian symbols such as a cross or a dove are also popular. You could buy a decorative wooden cross or a Christening box with dove imagery included into it. Another option is to buy a children’s Bible that will teach the child about their religion when they get a little older.

Something to wear

The parents or godparents have most likely have bought an outfit for the baby to wear for the ceremony. But that doesn’t mean you cannot buy something else they can wear. A knitted blanket in white, pink or blue would be a wonderful addition to the baby’s outfit. Plus it will keep them warm if the church or venue get’s cold. You could buy some socks or shoes for the baby to wear that also compliments their christening gown and keep them comfortable. You could even buy them something to wear for after the ceremony. The child may feel uncomfortable in a traditional gown, so providing a secondary outfit to wear at the party afterwards will be ideal. Make sure whatever you choose is soft and still looks special for their big day. Remember to present this gift before the christening. Ideally a few days before, otherwise, they won’t be used for their intended purpose.

These gift ideas should now make you feel more comfortable about buying a christening gift. There are so many brilliant options in-store and online that cater for this occasion. So you should have no trouble finding something appropriate. If you’re still uncertain, talk to the parents to know if there is anything they need or want.
