Top 10 Gifts for Men
Looking to Buy a Gift for Your Boyfriend, Husband, or Dad?
Are you looking for birthday gift, Valentine's Day gift, or anniversary gift for your husband, dad, or boyfriend? Here are some suggested gifts for men.
Shopping for your husband, boyfriend, or father? Are you scratching your head, wondering what to get him for his birthday, your anniversary, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, or some other special occasion. Here are some gift ideas for men:
Best Buy Gift Card
Men love electronics. And men love movies. And computer or video games. Men love Best Buy. So, get your man a Best Buy gift card. Of course, make it more than $10. That won't get much at Best Buy. You want to set aside at least $25 or $50 for a Best Buy gift card. Maybe even a $100 gift card if you can afford it.
Borders or Barnes & Noble Gift Card
Is the man you're buying for a reader? If so, get him a gift card to his favorite bookstore. Since the average, new hardcover book prices between $25 and $40, be sure to get at least a $25 gift card. The most popular bookstores are Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Books-a-Million.
Lowe's or Home Depot Gift Card
Does your husband or father enjoy working in the yard or around the house? If so, consider getting him a gift card to the local Home Depot or Lowe's. How much? Well, that might depend on what you want him to work on. Yes, this is a gift that could be a little self-serving.
If you're not into getting gift cards, then....
The Purpose-Driven Life by Rick Warren
The wildly popular, mega-bestseller The Purpose-Driven Life [Zondervan, 2002] is the perfect gift -- really for anyone, man or woman. It is designed to encourage you to focus your life around your relationship with God and bring some peace and purpose to your daily living. The book has touched the lives of millions of people.
1776 by David McCullough
If your husband, father, or boyfriend is at all into history, then 1776 [Simon & Schuster 2005] by David McCullough is a must-have. McCullough is one of the most popular historians right now in America, and is a superb storyteller. This book profiles the most important year in American history - the year in which our nation started.
Reader's Digest New Fix-it-Yourself Manual
The New Fix-it-Yourself Manual: How to Repair, Clean, and Maintain Anything and Everything In and Around Your Home [Reader's Digest 1996], brought to you by Reader's Digest, is a sure bet for any husband, boyfriend, or father who doesn't want to be beaten by a home repair challenge.
Personal Organizer or PDA Cell Phone
Help your man get organized! Get him a personal organizer or PDA Smart Phone. If you want to go the cell phone, contact your local AT&T cell phone or Verizon cellular phone dealer. This author has found the Samsung Blackjack to be very helpful. If your man is not into cell phones, an old-fashioned Day Runner type organizer may fit the bill just fine.
DVD Set of Favorite TV show
Get your father, husband, or boyfriend a DVD set of his favorite TV show! Whether it be 24, Jericho, Heroes, Home Improvement, or whatever, you can find pretty good deals on these DVD sets at Amazon or at Best Buy.
XBOX 360, Playstation 3, or Nintendo Wii
If you're really into spending some money and don't mind your husband taking some time away from you (because he will), get him a XBOX 360, PS 3, or Nintendo Wii. Let the games begin!
Candy and a Love Letter from Your Heart
Last but definitely not least, you may just want to get him a box of candy and a sincere, written love letter - one that YOU write from your heart. If it's your husband or boyfriend, express to him how much you love him and appreciate him. If it's your dad, convey your respect and gratitude - and, yes, your love.
Whatever you get the man (or men) in your life, make sure the gifts are from your heart - and given cheerfully.
