Sometimes men can be hard to shop for. I get it, I’ve been there. Based off my experiences, here are the best gifts to get men when you don’t know what the hell they want for Christmas.

Socks

All men need socks. Most of my past boyfriends never bought their own socks or ever thought to do so, so I would always buy them socks for Christmas. They love it because they know they need them!

Food

Who doesn’t love food?! Buy your man an extra large bag of their favorite candy… or maybe even make them some baked goods. Either way, you can’t go wrong!

Gift Cards

Gift cards are a good way to go when you’re last minute shopping and you don’t know what to get your significant other. Buy him a gift card to his favorite restaurant (again, men love food) or maybe a gift card for Xbox Live or PlayStation Store if your boyfriend is a gamer.

Hoodies

(Most) men have a hoodie, a few pairs of jeans and some shirts. They never shop for new clothes or they wear the same clothes for years. This is where you come in. Help him expand his wardrobe by giving him some nice, new clothes. Hoodies work well because it’s winter and you can steal them for yourself later.

Cologne

Want your man to smell good? Try out some scents of cologne and give him the one you like the best. Then he will always smell like one of your favorite scents. Those Axe and Old Spice gift sets are always a good idea too.

Sometimes the men in our life can be hard to shop for, especially when they don’t give us many ideas to work with. Hopefully, this will give you a few ideas that your man will love!
