Finding the perfect gift for men has always been a challenge. Especially if he is someone who already has ‘everything’, then you are in for a real struggle. No matter how many times you ask them or try to coax ideas out of them, you get the classic replies – ‘ I don’t need anything.’or ‘I have it all, I am fine’. Ughh.. so irritating, right?
It doesn’t matter if he is your brother, partner, husband or just a good male friend, it is a real pain. And when it comes to birthday gifts, you obviously do not want to give them something that will not be of use. That’s why we have come up with this unique guide that talks about various birthday gift ideas that you can think about.
But before getting into what to buy your man for his birthday, it’s important to think about what makes a man think he has everything.
- Minimalism: Sometimes men use very few things in their daily lives because the bare minimum works for them—even if “bare minimum” means “falling apart at the seams.” This could be circumvented by introducing high-quality items they may not have purchased or sought out themselves that complement their lives or allow them to have new experiences.
- Stubborn: Stubborn men don’t always like change, may be reluctant to incorporate new things into their routine, and may even have a hard time accepting gifts that don’t come with a logical explanation. If you can put meaningful logic behind a gift to justify why it provides a solution to a problem, they’ll probably bite.
- Actually Having Everything: It’s rare that somebody will actually have everything. But for the person who does, the best idea is to take the sentimental route. Present them with unique gifts, homemade goods, group experiences, or information about themselves they may not have otherwise known.
So now, let’s get started with the list of Unique Birthday Gifts for Him that will make him feel loved instantly:
- A pair of nice shades/glasses
A classic accessory that is very useful. Additionally, they come in so many shapes and colors that even if your man already has one, he can still use another. You can choose a design that compliments their face shape. If you are feeling a little experimental, buy them something that they might not buy but it will suit them. This way you can even nudge them to try something new. Also, if you man wears glasses for eyesight then you can also get the shades customized to their eyesight. - Personalised star map
This is a new trend where you can get a framed picture of the sky on a special date. This is a unique and sentimental gift as you are gifting them a star map of a significant date. This can be either a date you met on or since it is already their birthday, why not get them a night sky star map of the day they were born? We are sure they will be surprised to see it also. - Customized whiskey set
If your man is someone who loves his whiskey then get a nice whiskey set with engraved glasses and a decanter. This is a thoughtful gift that will definitely elevate their drinking experience. You can even combine this gift with a bottle of their favorite whiskey. This way you can also toast together to mark this special day. - A grooming kit
A must-have for every man! A nice grooming kit that is full of all the essentials is something that comes in really handy. Chances are that your man already has one. But he can definitely make use of an upgraded version. There are so many versatile beard and hair grooming kits available in the market. They also come with beard oils and waxes. This is a great gift that also focuses on self-care and grooming. - A nice perfume
Some of you might find it a bit cliched but this is a great gift! It is again something that can be used every day. If your man is into luxury perfumes then you can get them an exquisite bottle. Or if he is someone who is quite an amateur, then this is a great time to buy them the Best Perfume for Men and get them initiated into this sensory elegance. - An experience as a gift
This is something quite out of the box. If your man has a bucket list of some special experiences like watching the northern lights or watching F1 live – then why not get them the tickets? This way you will help them fulfill their bucket list. - Fitness gadgets
What’s a better gift than something that will help them focus on their health? If your man is someone who goes to the gym or jogs occasionally, you can get them something that will make their experience even better – live running shoes or a fit bit. If your man is not into physical fitness then seize this opportunity and get them gear that will nudge them to workout every day!
Now that you have gone through the list, there is only one thing that we would like to say. Giving a gift is all about thoughts. It is not about how expensive your gift is. What matters is you put your heart and mind into the selection process and get your man something that will put a smile on their face. So go ahead and get them something that you know will matter to them!
