subject: The Abcs Of Christmas Gifts Giving [print this page] Let's face it, Christmas gifts can be a challenge to find for guys. For some reason, there's just more stuff out there for women. However, if you think outside of the box a little, mens presents don't have to be quite so painful. Let's take a look at some helpful tips for creating a stunner of a present for your man, using the ABCs of gift giving.
1. An Activity:
For starters, who says that mens presents have to be wrapped up in a box underneath the Christmas tree? Some of the most memorable and enjoyable presents aren't of the gift-wrapped variety. Go for an activity that you know your man will love. What hobby has he always wanted to try? Are there classes he would love to sign up for that you could buy for him? How about sports activities, whether going to watch a game, or play a game himself? Paintball, ten-pin bowling, kayaking the sky's the limit when it comes to activities.
2. Bonding Breathers:
Making a meaningful present doesn't have to be hard if you're involved! He'll love the fact that you want to give of your time take time out of your busy schedule just to chill with him. Take him on a date night to your favourite restaurant (or try somewhere new!), book a weekend away for two in a romantic location, or go horseback riding or hiking together if he's the outdoors type.
3. Creative Coupons:
Coupons can include physical coupons to shops he'd love (such as the hardware store, computer store, or movie rental), or can be homemade ones for things you'd like to do for him. Then he can redeem these over the next days, weeks or months. Inexpensive options can be coupons for giving him a back massage, making him his favourite dessert, or giving him a night off doing dishes. Other options could include coupons for coffee dates with you, packing his lunch for a few weeks, or coupons for various outings picnics, hikes, bike rides, or any other activity he'd enjoy.
4. Delightful Dishes:
This is a generalization, but generally it's true! Men love food, and while they'll often eat whatever you place before them, there are certain foods they love. Often it revolves around the word dessert, so any food-related gift is sure to please. Think of Christmas gift ideas such as taking him out for dinner or dessert at his favourite restaurant, or cooking/baking his favourite foods could even do a dessert marathon for a week, each night creating some other decadent delight for your man.
5. Enlightening Entertainment:
Go for a night on the town and find what concerts, dramas, or movies are showing. Or purchase a few movies you know he'll love and plan a movie marathon night for him and a bunch of friends make sure there's plenty of food and drinks, and they'll have a blast! Or have some family friends around, dig out the wii or the backyard bowls, and enjoy a barbeque together!
Christmas gift ideas are really prevalent, it's just a matter of thinking outside the box and knowing where to look. Put on your thinking cap and come up with the best Christmas memory ever!
