Men are traditionally thought of as being very tricky to buy for! It seems that for women there is almost an infinite number of gift options to pick from - you only have to wander to your local shop and you'll find plenty of things that might interest the special lady in your life. But for some reason men seem to end up with the same presents year after year- socks, ties, cufflinks and maybe the odd bottle of spirits. It's no wonder they must seem fed up with such dull and uninteresting gifts! However half of the problem is that the high street can only offer a certain amount of gift options in a limited space - and if you're browsing for gifts for him on a busy Saturday with half of the town's other inhabitants bashing their way around you, the temptation to linger becomes a little less pronounced (especially when you see the size of the queues at the tills) and suddenly what do you know - he's got yet another pair of socks for his birthday!
Well this year it's time to ring the changes and commit to getting the man in your life something really unusual and fun. Think about all the times he's made you laugh and giggle during the year, and you'll suddenly want to give him back a little item that shows you appreciate his fun side and humour. Fortunately gifts for him have greatly improved in recent years, although for the best ranges and most quirky and innovative gifts for him, you need to head online! By getting involved in online shopping, you will truly revolutionise your approach to present shopping. The sheer catalogue of gifts available on online sites is staggering, and there will be gifts for him and other items that you'd never even heard of or considered before! Even better many of these gifts are categorised into useful groups that will help you browse peacefully and with a nice drink in your hand, and you'll find all kinds of unusual, fun and downright bizarre gifts for him that you know will bring a smile to his face. You can line up options into your online basket for review at the end, pick the ones you want and do the transaction there and then in a safe and secure environment - and no queuing! Even better, your carefully chosen gifts for him will then arrive just a few days later all carefully wrapped and delivered right to your door for maximum convenience - no more lugging around heavy carrier bags and trying to cram things into your tiny car boot!
Sun Jar - Sunshine in a Jar
This gift is so innovative that it won the 'Gift of the Year' prize for 2007! It's a cool little jar that looks like it should hold jam...but actually you leave it on your window sill and it collects sunshine up - for use at night! it works by containing solar energy cells that use the sun to charge the battery inside the jar - and then three little LED lamps within the jar switch on at night to create a cosy sunshine glow! There's no switch at all - it's totally automated, and these jars are also completely watertight, so it can be left outside as a garden night light too! These types of gifts for him will wow the man in your life of any age, and everyone in the family will get great enjoyment from the cute little glowing jar - no doubt they'll all want one for themselves!
101 Things to do in a Shed
For real humour, try gifts for him that celebrate the more quirky side of life! This excellent book celebrates all that is wonderful about the quintessentially English tradition of the garden shed! The sanctuary of many a man, this book contains a massive 101 ideas for projects, tasks and tools with which to wile away a little time in his favourite place - everything from making models from matchsticks, to planning world domination - all is facilitated by the apparently mystical powers of his favourite retreat! At least you know where to pop his gift down to if he doesn't emerge in the house!
Hopefully these gift ideas have sparked off some creative thoughts and fired up your imagination! Remember, there is really no excuse for tired old gift ideas - it's time for you to push the boat out and really surprise him with some fun and funky presents this year - and after all, raising the game with your own gift buying will surely mean he needs to do the same when it comes to your own birthday..?!
