7 Gift Ideas For The Men In Your Life

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at TCNJ chapter.

The holiday season is quickly approaching, and as women, it always seems impossible to find the perfect gift for the men in our lives – whether it be our fathers, brothers, cousins, or boyfriends. Instead of searching nonstop for affordable yet amazing gifts, look no further- we’ve got you covered with 7 great ideas!

1.     Watch

A watch is always a great gift. It’s something that the receiver of the gift could wear often and will always remind them of you! Be sure to go for a watch that is well made, because there’s nothing worse than the hassle that comes along with getting a watch fixed. We recommend Daniel Wellington – it’s decently priced and will last!

2.     Bluetooth Speaker

Music is loved across all generations and genders! A nice Bluetooth speaker is a great gift for any man in your life. They are cordless so they can be taken around to the beach or even be set up outside next to the grill while your father is cooking! We’re sure every guy would love this Lowdi Bluetooth Speaker.

3.     Water bottle

Here’s another gift that can be used among all ages. These S’well bottles are sleek and guarantee to keep water cold for 24 hours, and hot beverages warm for 12! Also, the company gives back to the community with every bottle sold. The S’well bottles come in a variety of different colors and textures, so you can personalize the bottle so it is perfect for him!

4.     Wallet/Phone Case

Either a wallet or a phone case would be great gifts, but we’ve found that (no offense) some of the men in our lives may be too forgetful to always have both with them. There are a ton of wallet and phone case items sold together now- which makes a fantastic gift! It’s great having all your things in one place. This one can be found at Best Buy and is made by HEX.

5.     Monthly Subscription Boxes

As women, we have so many monthly subscription boxes available for us that we may forget that they are offered to men to! This is the definition of a gift that keeps on giving. A yearly subscription means that for Christmas, you got him a total of 12 gifts, one for every month!

6.     Funny Gift

I always find myself gravitating to funny gifts for people like my brother and cousins, and they always love the result! Find something that you think could be useful yet funny in a way. For example, if your brother or cousin is 21 or older, this dual beer glass is something that is funny – since it’s not something you see everyday – but it could also be very useful! Etsy and Pinterest are some great places to find humorous gifts.

7.     Entertainment Tickets

Around November and December, the lineups and early bird tickets to summer festivals usually go on sale. Shows such as Firefly and Electric Daisy Carnival are multiple-day festivals that could make for a fantastic holiday present! And let’s be honest, most dads would love a ticket to any of their favorite musicians’ concerts for the holidays. He’d love it even more if you get a ticket for yourself as well, to create a great memory for the two of you!
