Top 5 Gifts for the Man in Your Life

When it comes time for your boyfriend or husband’s birthday, you’ll inevitably be struck with terror as to what you can buy him! You probably had enough of a battle to think of a gift around Christmas time, and then there’s also Valentine’s Day and your anniversary as well. So many gifts! But don’t worry, it’s not really that hard to get a special gift for the man in your life.

You obviously want something that is special to him and not a gift that he will pretend to like! If he’s your boyfriend or husband, then you should know roughly what he might like, but if you’re completely at a loss for a good idea, then we think some of the following options will be great for you!

Brand new watch

Get your man to stop looking at his phone to check the time by getting him a nice watch. Digital watches aren’t as cool anymore and smartwatches essentially become obsolete as soon as a newer model comes onto the market. So, what you need to get is a watch that always stays fashionable and functional, and that’s a mechanical watch. There are a lot of famous companies which manufacture mechanical watches, such as Swiss brands like Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer and Patek Philippe. You could also go for something a bit different but still beautiful and cool, like a Seiko watch. Chrono24 will likely have some at a much cheaper price because many of the options are second-hand yet still in premium condition.

Pair of socks (but fun ones!)

Now, you’re probably thinking that socks are incredibly boring! But don’t just get him just regular socks, but a cool pair from Stance. This company has socks with designs with everything a man could love! There are designs from popular NBA, MLB and NFL teams, but also Star Wars! If he’s a fan of the movies, then we definitely think he wouldn’t mind wearing a Darth Vader pair of socks to work. If he has a favorite American sports team, then be sure you know it, as he’ll love to show off his team pride.

Audible account

Many of us have Netflix accounts today, but aren’t we losing touch with the written word? Reading books is so important, but understandably, it’s not always easy to find the time or motivation to finish an 800-page book. A fantastic option is to buy your man an Audible account. Audible provides thousands of audiobooks on every possible topic. There’s popular books, brand new books, old books and just about any book you can think of. He can download one audiobook per month, but even if he doesn’t like it, it’s possible to switch it free of charge.

Slippers

If a man doesn’t love being comfy in slippers, then he must be lying or doesn’t want to admit it! Who doesn’t love their feet to be as snug as possible on a cold winter night? He probably won’t buy slippers for himself, but it’s highly likely that he’ll enjoy getting this gift. Ugg makes great slippers, but really, you can find a fantastic pair of slippers in most major stores like Target or Walmart. Give the gift of comfort.

Beer

With the knowledge that beer has amazing health benefits (when in moderation), then we find it hard to think that this drink wouldn’t be his favorite gift of all! It’s always good to support local breweries in your area, as craft beers have really taken off lately, but if he’s not such a big fan of these, then any of the following popular beer brands will be fine.

  • Bud Light
  • Budweiser
  • Heineken
  • PBR
  • Guinness
  • Corona
  • Coors Light
  • Miller Lite

At the end of the day, you shouldn’t stress too hard if you can’t find the perfect gift, but those 5 examples will give you a good starting point. If you dislike the idea of buying so many individual gifts, you could always say that you combined a birthday with Christmas, for instance! A lot of men don’t often care about the price tag of something, so long as he gets something that is close to his heart.
