Do you collect a gift list, so that you can easily buy your man or significant other a good gift? I personally break out in a sweat at gift giving time, because it's really hard to shop for men! Now, they'll tell you it's the same for women, but I guarantee you, that the choices for women gifts are amazingly wide in variety!
I am considering a gift in the department of mens shoulder bags for my mate. He is a world traveler, and I think it's quite necessary to have a good bag to grab and go with the necessary essentials.
My man is also pretty laid back and seems to not require anything, but items for his truck. I can't surprise him with an auto gift. He has to purchase his own! He has to pick with such meticulousness, that anything I could think of, would automatically have a defect of why he doesn't like that particular item!
We've been together so long that I might just visit the traditional marriage gift giving that goes with each year! I've seen that list, have you?
Maybe it was easier in the days before so much technology, but I have to say that I"m very glad for all the gift guides that are available at my fingertips! The last big holiday for just men, I wanted to surprise him with an adventure gift, but the timing and finances was just not matching up! It's still on my gift list.
This next upcoming men gifting holiday, I'll definitely be trying something more hip, fun and useful; the mens shoulder bags!
I will need to find one that I know will fit his personality and will also be useful to his routine. Have you ever bought a mens shoulder bag for your mate?
I've heard good, bad and funny stories from other women who have given this item to their mate. I'm just going to make sure I add chocolate, books and coupons with mine!
I love seeing a man in his element, rocking a trendy style or fashion piece every so often.
What's some great gift ideas for the man in your life? Share with me.

I got my hubs and nice card and a heart box full of his fave chocolate. I'm not very unique I guess!
ReplyDeleteIt's the love in your heart that matters. Not a glorified media day :)

My OH loves cooking and I love chocolates so we are going to chocolate making class together - win-win gift and we should both love it
ReplyDeleteI love when couples do things together!
DeleteMy problem is that most of things he wants are so darn expensive. I know he loves anything to do with technology,cars,bikes or family. I agree it is hard to shop for men.
ReplyDeleteYes the budget usually rarely cooperates.
DeleteI hope you find a happy medium focused on loving each other :)
I gave my husband a 3 month Massage Envy subscription one year.
