Six Gifts for Men that He’ll Actually Like

Happy Gift Guide Season! When my followers asked me to put together a Gift Guide for Men, I had to chuckle. The irony is that the vast majority of gifts I’ve bought for my husband, he’s returned. My husband is extremely practical, and he’s particular about what he likes and doesn’t like. He doesn’t like surprises. And, he doesn’t really like receiving gifts at all. After 13 years together, though, I’d like to think I’ve got a better understanding of finding a gift that he’ll actually appreciate. If you’ve got a Picky Partner, this blog post is for you!

1. Levi’s Men’s 501 Original Fit Jeans

What’s man doesn’t love a good pair of blue jeans? It may not seem that exciting, but if you’re looking for a gift that your man is guaranteed to love, this one is it. Practical and inexpensive, your man will want to wear these every single day!

2. Bulova Men’s Marine Star Gold Chronograph Watch

If you’re looking for something a little on the more luxury side, this watch is great quality for a great price. I gave my husband a gold watch for Christmas seven years ago, and he still wears it to this day. This classic look pairs well with any outfit, casual or more dressed-up.

3. Samsonite Luggage

We were gifted a set of Samsonite luggage as a wedding present, and we absolutely love it! This luggage is lightweight, fits way more than you think it can, and has a sleek four-wheel turn design for all those “I’ve gonna miss my flight!” moments. If your man travels, or if you’re looking for a gift that you can build upon year after year, consider a piece of luggage!

4. Yeti Rambler 20 oz Travel Mug

One of my very few wins when it comes to gift giving was a Yeti tumbler that I gave my husband for our first “married” Valentine’s Day. It set off a Yeti obsession that’s last our almost seven years of marriage. You can never go wrong with a Yeti tumbler, or any piece from the Yeti brand.

5. Beats Noise-Canceling Ear Buds

Traveling, kids, or clocking in those hours at the office – a nice set of earbuds is a practical gift that your man is guaranteed to use and love. These noise-canceling ear buds are heavily discounted for Black Friday, and come in many different colors, which means they’re hopefully harder to lose!

6. Custom Art Print

If you really want to go the extra mile, consider a custom illustration. It could be your favorite photo together, a picture of your children, or a special memory that you cherish. Your man will appreciate the thought and care that went into a unique gift that he can’t get anywhere else.
