Holiday Wishlist: What to Buy for Your Guy

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

 Buying presents for people is a science — it can be challenging at times. If you are having trouble thinking up the perfect gift for that special man in your life, consider these helpful tips first. What does he like to do? What is his favorite sport? What do you two do together?
 
Once you answer these questions, you can narrow down the perfect gift for him.

 
Does he drive a lot? Do you two hang out outside? A new pair of sunglasses is a great gift for the man in your life. They can shield his eyes from the sun while you two are walking hand in hand outside.
 
Another great gift for any guy is a new wallet. Most men I know carry their cash around in their pocket with nothing to bind it together. Sometimes they use a rubber band, but few of us would consider this a good substitute for a wallet.  Even if they already have a wallet, it might be ratty and old.
 
If your man is into sports, ESPN 30 for 30 is a great gift. ESPN commissioned 30 filmmakers to tackle 30 of the most compelling and noteworthy sports stories in the last 30 years, 1979-2009.
 
Sometimes we give men clothes because we think they need it to look good. But let’s be real, that is more of a gift for ourselves than for them. Not many guys like getting a new sweater for the holidays, no matter how nice it is. Try to think of them first.
 
No matter what you get him, if he really cares about you, he will like it anyway.
