One of the most asked questions I’m getting right now is “what the heck do I get for my boyfriend/guy friend”. Trust me, I feel your pain and I personally have struggled with this for ages. Of course I just HAD to make a gift guide for guys to help out anyone who knows #THESTRUGGLE Why are guys so hard to shop for right??
Now, my guy and I have a system where we tell each other exactly what we want for any occasion- be it Christmas, Birthday, Valentine’s or our Anniversary. That way, we both get exactly what we want and it’s so much better I think because it takes away the stress of the situation of having to go and look for something and being worried if he won’t like it.
This year I wanted a full planner kit and I’m so excited. Would you believe he actually bought it and won’t even let me peak at it even though I begged for like 15 minutes. He’s super stubborn and just wants me to suffer until I can finally unwrap it on Christmas Day. On the other hand, he wanted clothes items so I bought it. See how easy that was? Now we’re both excited to get exactly what we want- and it’s been like that for 6 years now so trust me, this method works.
But, if you want the element of surprise, I got you covered.
1. If he’s into music, then a Beats headphone is just perfect for him. He can use it at the gym or while relaxing at home. There’s also the option of bluetooth/wireless like this one which I think is even better.
2. Cologne. You can never go wrong with this because who doesn’t love a great sexy AF smelling guy to cuddle up with? I loveeee this one because it’s so bold and sexed up as hell, and this one which is a classic, modern scent.
3. Latest Video Games/gaming accessories. Lots of guys are crazy over the latest video game releases and I’m 100% sure that if he’s into these, he’ll love these kinds of gifts. Of course, you should be prepared for the slight lack of attention that this will bring on your end- don’t say I didn’t warn you! Controllers like this limited edition Master Chief Halo 5 Wireless Controller is also to die for.
4. Brand named tee-shirts such as Kenneth Cole, Ferrari or even a football kit from his favourite team are things you just can’t go wrong with. On the theme of clothing, you can also add to the list an authentic leather belt, shoes or even personalized cuff links or tie bars.
5. Watches are classic pieces that you can give your guy. It oozes of sophistication and he’ll definitely use it so he won’t ever be late for you (see what I did there LOL). This one is #goalsAF and there are more options from that brand here.
6. A lovely leather wallet is another great gift item for your guy. Most guys never invest in quality wallets (like us gals) and that often results in a beaten up old thing they carry around in their pants. You can choose from a wide range of his favourite designers and go with that.
7. A great pair of sunglasses are perfect for him and it’s also a great accessory to jazz up his look. Think of how yummy he’ll look lazing on the beach with you.
8. A shaving set/beard oil kit (thank you #NoShaveNovember) are great for keeping your guy looking scrumptiously clean shaven or handsomely rugged. To each his own ya know? He’ll definitely love a travel size kit or a deluxe kit for his everyday shebang.
9. Pictures – there’s nothing quite as special as memories frozen in time. You can buy a big picture frame with multiple places for pictures, or you can opt for just a single meaningful picture. You can also think about doing a scrapbook. I actually started a scrapbook when my guy & I met and it’s soooo crazy to see how far we’ve both come. I meannnnn, I can show you pictures that will make you die laughing. But because I want you to stay alive, I won’t show. But yea, a collage of both of you is a great piece for sentimental guys.
10. And because I HAVE to say this- the die hard, tried and true #GIFTCARD for any and everything. iTunes, Movies, food, books, gardening, cars, gadgets/tech things, heck even Amazon…basically every thing can be covered with a gift card. Even a spaaaaaa and who said guys don’t like being pampered? A nice massage would be great for your guy and he’ll feel so refreshed and rejuvenated after- and I’m sure he’ll thank you in a very special way after. There are so many great unique options available such as hot stones, seaweed wraps or even chocolate ones so make sure and do your research!
Does this not make you have a WTF moment of realization? Honestly, if I didn’t have a choice, gift cards would have been my go-to be all and end all. It’s okay if it’s now yours too. We can share in this secret, fail proof gift. Think about it- any guy that you know has to like something so just think about that and let it guide you to gift card world. You’ll thank me later.
