A guide to shopping for the men in your life!
The best parts of Christmas are, without a doubt, the family get togethers, the food, and the festive atmosphere. Right? Who are we kidding - it’s definitely the gifts! There’s nothing like the anticipation of what you’re going to get this year. While giving is all well and good, receiving is the best part, amirite?
Nevertheless, it is our duty in the spirit of the season, to give as good as we get (assuming you get meaningful gifts you’ll enjoy, irrespective of how much it cost. If you get rubbish gifts, be the better person and gift something worthwhile anyway!). But as us women know, nothing dampens the mood like a quest for men's gifts. We all know boys like their toys, but we also know those toys cost an arm and a leg, and maybe the occasional kidney. But that doesn't mean other gifts are out of the ballpark. In fact, it seems pretty obvious but, once you’ve recognized his likes, dislikes and passions - you’re halfway through.
Gift giving doesn’t have to be such a morose experience, as much as gifts don’t have to be expensive to prove that you care. So we decided to make your life easier and took the liberty of compiling a list that won't exactly break your bank. From the scrooge, to the thrifty or the spendthrift - we’ve got you covered.
Clothing
Although some men have very specific preferences concerning fit, prints etc of certain types of clothing, buying clothes for men is generally easy because they usually have their preferred, go-to brands. With clothes, shoes and accessories in the mix, you’ll have a wide selection to pick from. Takas currently has a deal on Timberlands.
Grooming Products
A grooming kit or boxed gift set that includes an aftershave, eau de perfumes etc makes for a gift any man would find useful.
Gadgets and Things
If you have a bit more moolah to spend, you can never go wrong with these kinda gifts. From GoPros to smartphones to headphones to speakers the choices are unlimited. You could also check out takas.lk who have offers on various gadgets.
Wallet
A quality leather wallet, apart from looking great is one of those gifts you KNOW will get used.
Watches
Another option that’s pricier than most items on this list, watches are timeless gifts and stylish additions to any man's collection. Afterall, there’s no such thing as too many watches.
Personalized Items
The most wallet friendly and also the most personal, these kinds of gifts have special meaning. Mugs, t shirts, notepads and coasters are only the tip of the iceberg of stuff available to personalize.
Handmade / DIY
If you’re not a fan of personalizing, you can choose to make something yourself. You can make your own photo frames, bulletin boards, bookmarks, gift card holders, photo cubes, framed family tree… the list is endless. Many websites offer step by step guidance with pictures.
Hobby-based
Another surefire way to decide what to get a man is to buy something related to his hobby/hobbies. Something golf related if he enjoys golfing, collectors items, the choice is endless.
