The guy gift guide!
It’s not surprising that shopping for your mate is tricky. Really, you gave him your hand in marriage, and that’s a pretty tough gift to top. Okay, technically, it’s impossible to top. But don’t fret; whether you are looking for birthday gifts for your husband or a “just because” present, we can help.
- Price doesn’t equal importance – Sometimes we all fall into the old trope of thinking something is too ‘cheap’ to be a real gift. We are calling out that idea right here and now; how much you spend is not a reflection of how much you love. Hey, you can give your husband the moon, but if he knows that it cost the next five mortgage payments, he won’t be able to enjoy it. Keep a realistic budget and don’t ever think that spending less means caring less.
- A want vs. a need – We are almost positive that at some point you and your husband have both been guilty of telling each other something like ‘We need a new vacuum, so just get that for me’ or ‘Well, the lawnmower is about to die, so that can be my present’. Don’t get us wrong; sometimes these items can make great gifts! But if all you ever buy is something that he needs to complete chores or needs for work, gift giving events can start to feel like Mondays. Yeah, not a great experience. Sometimes the best gift is something he wants but won’t buy on his own. Maybe because it seems silly to him to spend hard earned money on a hobby, or he just never gets around to ordering it. Either way, he will be pretty excited that you splurged a bit on his behalf.
- Identify with open eyes and ears – But wait, you might be thinking, I don’t know what he wants; that’s why I’m here! Don’t worry; we have plenty items that can make fantastic gifts for husbands. But, as you look through our picks, it’s important to think back on conversations you have had with your mate. Has there been an item he has expressed interest in, or maybe you noticed him admiring something on a store shelf? Always pay attention to verbal and visual cues and make a mental note of things that peak his interest.
- Keep a gift-idea journal – If mental notes aren’t really your forte, by all means, write things down. You don’t have to be super Type A about it (although we will admit that we always appreciate a good spreadsheet). Keep a special notebook or even just type short memos into your phone. Trust us; when you are frantically searching for cool birthday gifts for your husband, you will love having this point of reference.
- Buying for two – Ok, giving him a gift that is clearly for your benefit is, well, it’s just a bad gift. But if you are the kind of couple who loves doing things together, by all means, pick out something that you can enjoy as partners. He might have expressed an interest in a weekend trip upstate, perhaps you are both gamers and could enjoy a new challenge together, or maybe he’s just itching to try skydiving. Okay, we understand if you send him to do that one alone, but you get the idea.
