5 Christmas Gift Ideas for the Man in Your Life

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

Whether it be your dad, your boyfriend, or your brother, guys are always so difficult to shop for!

Even though it’s only October, it is never too early to get started Christmas shopping. If you’re already stuck on ideas for what you’re going to buy, here are a few of our favorites:

1. A Watch

A nice watch is *perfect* for the snazzy man in your life! Whether he wears it to work, on date night, or on a regular basis, he will be thankful to have this arm candy in his jewelry box.

2. A Tool Set

If your guy loves getting his hands dirty, a tool set is a great gift for him. Men love practical gifts, and a tool set is something he can really use when needed.

3. His Favorite TV Series on DVD

Men love TV – it’s a known fact. He will be so happy to have the full series of his favorite TV show when he’s looking for something to watch after work or on a lazy day!

4. Video Games

If he’s attached to his Xbox or PlayStation, there will be nothing he loves more than the newest video game. It’s their obsession. (Helpful hint: Call of Duty Black Ops 4 was released on October 12, 2018 if he’s into that kind of thing).

5. Sneakers

Guys can always use a new pair of sneakers. Whether he’s a sneakerhead or he only wears the bulky white New Balances, he will be *elated* to open a gift and find a new pair of kicks!

No matter the hobby, age, or personality of the guy you’re looking to shop for, hopefully you can find some Christmas gift inspiration from these ideas! Don’t end up buying the boring gift card, Collegiettes. Find something awesome and surprise him this Christmas!
