Let’s face it, buying your man those runny, ill colored happy socks and malicious patterned ties from River Road is not cute. I know you will be defending your poor choice with ‘it’s the thought that counts’ when in real sense you know it’s the sparkle in their eyes that calls the shots.
I hear my male friends going on and on about how they were gifted bland knitted sweaters and plastic wrist watches for the holidays! The idea behind the aforementioned gift items is not only appalling but also heart breaking.
For this upcoming holiday, I have rounded up all the cool gift items that your significant other will appreciate receiving.
- Perfume
A good perfume is an addition to a man’s overall look and presence. A good scent not only boosts a man’s self-confidence but also makes the people around him to be attracted to him. Go for a powerful and masculine scent from Dior, Versace or Giorgio Armani. Don’t go downtown to get refills of Calvin Klein imitation, it will end in tears!
2. Leather Cafe Racer Jacket
There’s nothing that brings out the vibe of a sophisticated gentleman than a stylish, decent and classy leather jacket. A leather jacket makes for a thoughtful gift especially since it goes a long way in complimenting your man’s laid-back weekend look.
3. Wrist Watch
By now, you’re aware that a wrist watch accessorizes a man’s outfit. A wrist watch tells you what you need to know about a man. Extravagant and flashy men will go for a sparkly gold Rolex. A cool man will settle for Movado while a tech geek will be swept off his feet with the Apple watch.
Get to know your man’s personality before you get him a watch. The more stylish and classier it is, the better for you.
4. Slip on Mules
While open shoes are perfect to relax one’s feet, some men find it uncomfortable to have their feet exposed for one reason or the other. If your man falls here, you might want to gift him with a pair of suede loafer mules. This way he gets to have his feet relaxed but toes are hidden from public scrutiny.
5. Wallet
You might be sitted somewhere thinking that a wallet is a lame gift to get. Let me assure you that some brothers out here find it hard to acquire a wallet for themselves. You will hear them saying that a wallet attracts thieves, is too busy and other trivial excuses.
It’s an absolute turn off when a man stashes cash and his credentials in his pockets. Get him a wallet to shelter him from avoidable embarrassments.
6. Shaving Regimen
A bearded man is a sight to sore eyes. However, maintaining a smooth chin after a series of shaving is no mean task. As the thoughtful, caring goddess you are, get him a shaving regimen to compliment his efforts in mitigating the negative effects of shaving.
7. Sunglasses
Chances are he needs a fresh pair of shades for your upcoming family getaway. Get him a classic but elevated eye wear to boost his holiday mood.
As you’re busy shopping for your better half using my aforementioned gift ideas, I hope you’ll remember to come back and pay homage! After all, what are friends for?
