Fathers Day Gifts- Expanding Your Choice

Buying gifts for men isnt easy whether its your father

, your brother, your husband or your boyfriend, when its time to buy a gift for them good ideas and inspiration fly out the window. Theres all the more pressure to buy a good gift because as women, we insist on being given sentimental gifts that relate to us so when its time to give back we have a lot of stuff to live up to. If you think about it, there arent many options available for gifts for men as there are for women. With women you have failsafe things like flowers, chocolate and jewelry but there are no such options for guys.

The common suggestions for gifts for men are sports stuff but while that may work on birthdays it doesnt work on holidays like Fathers day when youre trying to show some appreciation for your dad or your husband. Golf balls and T-shirts arent a gift that fit the occasion and theres also the fact that you cant give the same kind of gift all year long (something thats common with both men and women).

There is however a little secret that you need to know thatll simplify a lot of your gift giving problems. Even though men dont admit it, they like chocolate just as much as you do and while women focus more on quality and the esthetics of a gift, men tend to focus more on value and usefulness (which is why they think blenders are a good gift for the wife).

With that in mind, you can start accepting some of the gift suggestions that seem bizarre to you, like gifting tools. You may not want another cookie cutter but men rarely say no to hammers and wrenches. While this may sound ridiculous, it is a somewhat reasonable gift. What it lacks is the appreciative factor which brings me back to the fact that men like chocolate and that kind of stuff, just as much as women do. Consider giving him gift baskets with a food theme like fathers day fruit baskets. Avoid the ones with alcohol and champagne or your mom might blow her top. Men are used to being given beer and other alcoholic drinks as gifts so try something unique and more on the solid food side of food themed gifts like fruit bouquets.

Theres the whole world of sports paraphernalia out there but its likely to cost you a lot since guys place value above all things anything that you pick out will be subject to heavy scrutiny. Its a good idea only if you can stand a lot of criticism from your dad about a gift that you spent hours (or days) on buying.
