Guys are simple creatures, with simple needs. So, it shouldn’t be that hard to find the perfect gift, right? Unfortunately, it can be surprisingly hard to come up with a gift. Especially if you’re not aware of the recipient’s hobbies and interests. Most people don’t have the time or resources to get this information for everyone. To help you out, this post will go through some hard-to-go-wrong gift ideas for the guys in your life.
Chocolate is one of the most consumed foods in the world, making it an easy gift for most people. This idea is a little uninspired but it makes a great side gift if you can’t think of anything else. Just be aware that a lot of people don’t like chocolate!
Other food can be slightly riskier. But, with minimal research, you can probably find something they like. Just ask their close family or friends. Most people will understand why you’re asking them, and won’t leak the vital information!
Getting someone their favorite drink is a very traditional Christmas gift idea, but it’s always appreciated. Much like food, you can get the information you need from the people close to them. A gift like this shows that you’ve put the effort it, and it’s something that the recipient will always be able to use.
Clothing
Clothing can be another risky area unless you take the right precautions. A lot of clothing will look good or bad depending on sizing. But, you ideally want to get things that don’t need to be the right size. This is because the giftee won’t be able to try it on; so, if it doesn’t fit, you’ll have to figure out a solution. A men’s hoody will look good as long as it’s not too small, and will be easy to guess sizes with. Whereas a pair of jeans will be a challenge to get right.
Gadgets/Toys
For most, becoming an “adult” simply meant that you now had responsibility. We’re all kids underneath. And so, we all love silly gadgets and toys. There are loads of unique and interesting stores online; that specialize in fun gadgets. You can find anything from RC cars and drones to novelty soap and towels. With very minimal knowledge of a person, you can find a jovial gift that they’ll love. Just avoid presents that require replacement batteries, as they’ll only ever be used once.
Smellies!
This is a common safe bet option for most people. Shower gel, body wash, and aftershave are all great gifts. You can even go the extra mile and try to find something that they use regularly. If someone wet shaves, try to find some super fancy shaving balm for them. Or, if someone has a great big bushy beard, try to find some specialty beard shampoo and conditioner. Just be aware that some people suffer from allergies and other issues; so, some chemicals won’t be good for them.
Do some Facebook stalking and some research with your recipient’s loved ones, and you’ll be on to a killer gift this year. Just remember, all this is about having fun. So, don’t get stressed if you can’t find an amazing gift. Most people will be happy with anything thoughtful.
