What makes a gift truly special?
What makes a gift truly special? Is it the price, brand, size or occasion? Most people would agree that the uniqueness of a gift is what makes it worthy, regardless of the giver, the receiver, the occasion or the circumstances warranting the giving of the gift. For instance, when you get someone a shirt for a gift, just make sure they won’t spot every Tom, Dick, and Harry wearing the same make of shirt. Go the extra mile and get a custom shirt from a tailor! A gift is meant to invoke emotions, especially happiness, and to achieve this, it has to be unique. A small but unique gift is likely to offer more psychological benefits associated with gift-giving than an expensive common gift.
Perfect gifts for men
Generally speaking, men are less picky than women. This simplifies the whole process of determining what gift to give him and making sure it fits him and the occasion. However, that does not mean any gift will wow any man any day. Remember there is a psychology behind the act of giving gifts and men are no exception. There is a wide range of gifts for men to choose from, but one needs to go the extra mile and find a niche that identifies with a particular man. Here is a guide on how to identify a unique gift for him depending on his lifestyle and character.
Movies, Magazines and Classic Books
If he enjoys literature, any of these three categories will certainly appeal to him. For movies and plays, weekend evenings are perfect. On the choice of what to watch, go for long ones with an actual storyline and full of suspense, not just plain action and adrenaline. For magazines and books, pick something he has never read. You can buy digital versions of these online or order hard copies.
Personalized Sporting kits
There is always that one form of sport that flows in every man’s veins, whether it is American football or soccer. There is always that one sporting team every man adores. Once you have this information, you can buy him a personalized jersey with his name printed on the back. Just make sure the jersey exactly resembles his favorite’s team.
Personalized Accessories
These include fashion accessories and everyday items such as phone cases, wine glasses, wallets, car mats, bottle openers, coffee mugs, ashtrays, watch cases, wall art, beer holders, cufflinks, golf balls, photo albums, pocket knives, slingshot, whiskey barrels, watches, socks, innerwear, compasses, ties, t-shirts, perfumes and wall clocks. These can be personalized with favorite colors, printing names or personal messages, and different material. For example, a watch may be wooden to give it a vintage feel.
Adventures
Gifts do not have to be tangible; they can be experiences too as long as they are unique. Adventures that men may appreciate as gifts include golf classes, spa experiences, helicopter tours, flying classes, sky diving, white water rafting, wine and beer tasting, hot air balloon rides, shopping gift cards and car racing experiences.
