Top Ten Gifts For Men - Whatever Your Budget

It's no secret that men can be hard to shop for. We aim to save you wasting your valuable time searching for the perfect gift. Here is our selection of Top Ten Gifts For Men. Whatever your budget from shoestring to extravagant, we hope you find something he will remember.

Although I have been taught not to generalise & put people in pigeon holes, when I'm thinking about gift ideas for men that is one of the first things I do.


How many times have you asked yourself questions like would he like this? or that? what colour shall I go for? or maybe he'd prefer something else

When faced with the task of searching for a gift nowadays I find it easier to make myself a coffee, take a few minutes to think about my recipient & decide which of these groups he falls into


DIYer –There are a whole range of power tools on offer when looking for Top Ten Gifts For Men, from a cordless screwdriver to a top of the range combo set that will tackle a whole range of jobs in & out of the home.




Budding Chef – If your guy likes to combine his love of cooking with a spot of camping in the Rocky Mountains a Camp Chef outdoor oven may light his fire. If on the other hand he is a bit of a beach bum a portable grill may be just the thing. Another option is a set of Ginsu knives to take pride of place in his kitchen.


Gadget Geek – Some may say this is one of the easier groups to buy for, with so many popular items coming to the market you could be spoilt for choice. Take for example the Kindle, the 6” Wi-Fi is smaller & lighter than some of its counterparts. For a higher price tag you could get a 7” full colour multi touch display, your recipient can check mail, play the odd game & read magazines in colour.


Sports Enthusiast – Depending on what you want to spend, you could choose a Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees toaster on a shoestring or for something more extravagant how about a home gym? For the busy man that likes to keep fit, the prospect of saving travel time, or the freedom to pump some weights in the comfort of his own home before leaving for the office may appeal.

Male Fashionista – men today are growing more & more fashion conscious, apparently sales of skincare products continue to rise. You may decide that a gift of clothing is suitable, on a shoestring you could choose a pair of jeans or a sweatshirt, or for something a little less personal why not go for a leather belt? If on the other hand you want to push the boat out a little further have you thought about choosing from a selection of outer coats & jackets?




Gift cards are always acceptable, if you don't like giving money as a present in our opinion this is definitely the next best thing.


Cologne is another timeless gift. Around the world, whatever the season after shaves & eau de toilettes are a popular gift choice. You can spend as much or as little as you like. Fashion & design houses are frequently launching new fragrances & gift sets.

When buying gifts for anyone it can be a bit hit and miss, I'm sure that many people reading this Top Ten Gifts For Men blog have received presents they hate at some time, I know I have. We hope that we have helped you save some time & made your search more fun than drudgery, if you do your homework hopefully your beneficiary will love the gift of your choice.

Whether you're looking for a gift for a family member, the love of your life or just good friends, hopefully our Top Ten Gifts For Men have got it covered.


How many times have you wondered what you can give as a gift? With so many different occasions, Thank You, Birthday, Christmas, Anniversaries, Thanksgiving, at some time of the year it can sometimes seem a regular event.

It doesn't matter what your budget is you can spend as much or as little as you want to, here are a few things you could consider to the individuals taste

Gift Baskets

Most people appreciate receiving something they can use, & are unlikely to have bought for themselves. If you need a gift for a client, by including gourmet snacks they will be able to share the goodies around the office. If you are creative you may enjoy making up your own baskets or gift boxes with a theme.

Foodie

Choose a selection of quality chutney's, or include something you made yourself, add some cheese for the connoisseur. You could pack it all into a mixing bowl or colander for novelty appeal. If your beneficiary has a favourite style of food, such as Italian, add some pasta, garlic, sauces. For a Chinese flavour buy some gourmet noodles, chop sticks & small serving dishes. I'm sure you get the idea, with a little imagination there are ideas abound.

Gardener

A basket filled with seeds, a hat for those balmy summer days, or wellies & a scarf to ward of the cold & wet, unless of course the recipient is a fair weather hobbyist. You could also get a selection of gardening tools, trowel, spade etc.

Budding Chef

This is another one to let your imagination run riot with, you could choose ingredients, utensils, or a stylish apron or oven gloves.

Movie buff

Add a DVD, some candy, chocolates or popcorn, if you are one of those people that doesn't like to just give tokens or cash this is a good way to include them & still giving the impression that you have given the gift some thought.

Writer

When I think of writers I always get this little picture of someone sitting poring over a writing pad with pen in hand. I know some people do prefer this method, but I bet many would appreciate a laptop. Having said that, a nice pen will never go out of fashion, you can choose from any number or fountain pens, roller balls & ballpoints that will suit any budget.

I have friends that are avid journal writers, genealogists & those that take making a daily entry in their diary very seriously. I'm sure they would appreciate a good quality notebook, writing paper, or parchment paper. Whatever you choose, place everything in a nicely wrapped box & your job is done.

If you prefer, or like me have left it a little late, you could buy a ready made gift basket or get your vouchers here.
