Buying gifts for the man in your life can be tricky, whether it’s a birthday, a Father’s Day gift from the kids, Christmas or Valentine’s Day, you may be scratching your head to find the ideal present. You want to make an impact but equally,you want it to be of use – men are notoriously difficult to buy for because they buy the things they need. To help guide you through this minefield of choice, here are 5unique gift ideas that’ll inspire you to make the right purchase.
Tickets
Tickets to a sporting event or music concert is a great gift. Rather than buying more possessions, you are giving them the gift of an experience that’ll stay with them for the rest of their life. However, these sort of gifts will require some forward planning– bigevents sell out fast, almost as soon as tickets are released. You will need to have your finger on the pulse to get the best tickets and at a reasonable price. Remember to budget for two tickets, so that he doesn’t have to go alone!
Spa Day
The idea of spending time together without the children may seem like an impossibility, but just because you don’t have childcare for a full week or two, does not mean that you have to abandon the idea completely. A spa day may not be the first thing on your other half’s mind, but there is no doubt that a day of relaxing with a massage and sauna will be a welcome break from the routine of work and home life. Plus, you’ll enjoy it too!
Vineyard and Brewery Tours
In most towns across the country there are breweries and even vineyards, and booking in for a tour and beer session is a great alternative to spending time in the pub. If your local breweries don’t offer a tour, look further afield and make a weekend of it exploring a different part of the country. Be sure to book transport in advance, allowing the both of you to enjoy yourselves properly.
Clothes
When you get to a certain age,you can get caught in a style trap. Rather than gift him with the typicalsocks and pants, reenergisehis wardrobe with stylish vintage clothing that may even remind him of his youth! If he used to love wearing his Oasis inspired parka, for instance, then you can do the Gallagher brothers proud by gifting him with a vintage parka that’ll send him reminiscing.
A Curry Course
Rather than seeing this as a gift for your loved one, consider enrolling him on a curry course as an investment! Let your man learn how to make the finest curry so that you can be wowed by his culinary skills for years to come – without ever having to go out for a takeaway again. Plus, he’ll enjoy inviting all his friends aroundthe house, so that he can showcase his newfound cooking talents!
