You’ll have to admit that women are easy to please with gifts. With men, however, it’s like they already have everything they need. Sometimes, it’s like they’re not even appreciative of your gifts. Other times, they’ll say they like the presents but will never use them. So what can you give them?
Neckties, socks, mugs, and alcohol decanters are some of the most common gifts for men. Thankfully, with technology and innovative ideas, there are many options you can choose from today. Take a look at these suggestions:
1. Hoodies and Jackets
Hoodies are the quintessential outdoor gear for men, especially for the younger demographic. Unfortunately, they’re not that good at choosing the right ones for them. Do them a favor. Give them a hoodie this holiday. It can be the perfect gift for your brother.
Choose a hoodie that’s soft and comfy, with a multi-layered hood panel. Ribbed cuffs are in today, so take that into consideration. Go for hoodies with drawstring hoods and kangaroo pockets.
For the more mature type, choose a jacket instead. Your father, grandfather, or uncle will appreciate a two-button blazer, a woven jacket, or pull-over vests.
2. Smart Mirror
Smart mirror technology is the latest craze, but you don’t have one yet at home. Why not purchase one and give it as a gift for your husband? This way, you can also enjoy it, too.
Smart mirrors are popular today because they display time, calendar, and weather. If you’re logged in, you can also use it to check the news and any updates on your social media. Most users, however, take advantage of the technology’s ability to display workout guides on a large screen. If your husband is a fitness enthusiast, a smart mirror will definitely make him happy.
3. Portable Campfire
Everybody loves s’mores on a cool, winter night. And men, in particular, enjoy eating s’mores with kids – your husband or father loves spending time outdoors with your kids. Why not make the experience more enjoyable for them with a portable campfire? Yes, they exist.
Portable campfires can be bought online. When in use, they can last up to three hours, and that means plenty of time to enjoy more s’mores for the kids, too.
4. Slippers
The pandemic has forced many to stay indoors. And because it’ll be winter soon, people will be spending more time indoors again. It’s like life has been hit with a double-edged sword. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Slippers will make a perfect gift for men who will be more likely to stay indoors for the rest of the season. Make life seem easier and more carefree with comfy slippers. Choose a slipper that’s made of soft materials but durable enough to last even after the winter is over.
Complement your gift with a super-plush bathrobe and towel set.
5. Car Floor Mats
Snow-covered boots can damage car floors. They can become a nuisance when snow melts and water accumulates inside your husband’s car. Why don’t you surprise your husband with custom-made car floor mats? It can help protect the family car, save car repair costs, and make your car’s interior look clean.
6. Headphones
For the audiophiles, you can give them headphones. Before your purchase, make sure to research the best headphones that are available on the market today. After which, choose wireless headphones or earbuds. They’re convenient to use, without the trouble of connecting wires to different devices.

7. Workout Clothes and Gear
Sweatpants, sweatshirts, and other workout clothes can convince someone to work out. It can work on your husband, too, especially if you add in some workout gear.
When looking for workout clothes for your husband, look for clothing that is made of lightweight material. This can avoid the restrictive feeling that compression pants often provide. There are also tapered workout pants, which means they can also be worn outside the gym.
For workout gear, stick to the basics-dumbbells, kettlebells, jump ropes, and an exercise mat. Alternatively, you could look at Fitbit accessories such as Fitbit bands, to personalize a favorite accessory.
8. Cooking Set
Cooking is not just reserved for women. Some of the best chefs today are men. If your husband loves to cook, a cooking set would be an ideal gift.
Cooking sets often come with a set of knives and ladles. Avoid sets made of plastic. Choose a set that has a sophisticated look, with handles made of wood. There are also sets that come with a holder to keep everything organized. Meanwhile, Cosmopolitansuggests an alternative: you can also go for a grill cooking set.
Complement your gift with a personalized apron. Your kids will love it, too, once they see their father in the kitchen. Choosing a gift for the men in your life doesn’t have to be complicated.
