5 Great gift ideas for the men in your life

Whilst we all love getting gifts, buying gifts, however, isn’t always easy – especially when it comes to the men in your life.

Whether it’s for your husband, father, grandfather, uncle, or brother we can probably guess you got the same response when you asked them what they wanted – “I don’t want anything”. To them, this is a polite and convenient answer. It means they don’t have to make a decision and don’t have to stress.

For you, it’s just frustrating and not even slightly helpful. Not to worry though, we are here to help!

Here are 5 great gift ideas for the men in your life.

1. Irish Flat Cap

A handmade Irish flat cap is an excellent gift. Made popular by the tv show Peaky Blinders, these caps have long been a staple of stylish men. Celebrities like David Beckham, Sylvester Stalone and Tom Hardy(to name a few) have worn a version of this stylish hat frequently.

Not only do they come in a range of colours and designs, but they are also pieces that are as timeless as they are practical. They will shield the wearer’s eyes in the warmer months and keep out the cold in winter. Plus, they can be worn on many occasions thanks to their versatile design. Dress them, dress them down, it’s your call!

2.A Good Book

This is a great gift is a good book. Think about something that’s a big interest of theirs and use that as a reference point. If they’re a football fan, a famous player or coach’s biography is a great start. If they like history, find a topical book on the period you know they’re fond of. Not only will this show you listen, many men often don’t buy books for themselves, which make the gift extra special.

3. A Nice Watch

A watch is an excellent gift for any man – even if they own one already. Not only are they practical but they’re stylish too. If the person you’re buying for is quite active, there are plenty of smartwatches that help track various aspects of their health – such as sleep or exercise. Or perhaps you can get them a nice chrome or leather watch they wear to important meetings or formal occasions.

4. A Voucher

These are perfect for the stubborn ‘I don’t want/don’t get me anything” man in your life. They probably have the idea that they will only buy things they need and or that if they want something, they should get it themselves. A gift voucher will allow them to do exactly that, with your gift of course. Don’t be fooled, these aren’t as impersonal as people make them out to be.

5. A Good Drink

Most men have a drink of choice that they go to when they want to relax, celebrate, or simply enjoy themselves. Find out what that is, if you don’t know already, and get them a nice bottle of that beverage. This could be wine, whiskey, brandy – anything. If you’re looking for something non-alcoholic, why not try some nice coffee or tea?
