subject: How To Find Funky Gifts For Fellas [print this page] The person who first stated that 'men are from Mars, women are from Venus' had it spot on! Different things interest the different genders which can make it extremely difficult when the year ticks around once more to the dreaded birthday.

Well if you're looking to step off the beaten track in order to find something interesting for one of the men in your life, you might want to consider funky gifts as a possibility to hold his interest and wow him spectacularly.
Funky gifts come in a range of shapes and sizes to allow for differences in character and temperament. You'll be able to find something suitable for the most random, the most serious, the butchest and the campest fellas that hold a special place in your heart. But how do you go about finding these funky gifts? Keep reading for some inspiration!
Personality Plotting
If you know the man that you're buying for particularly well get yourself a piece of paper and a pen and start to jot down anything that he's interested in. Whether it be cars, trains, flowers, anything; get it down on paper. We'll use that list later to find the perfect present to suit him. If you aren't so familiar with the guy in question but you still want to find something suitable you could consider testing out your espionage abilities with subtle questions to his nearest and dearest. If you can assemble a list of activities and interests that set his heart racing and peak his interest more than any other things you'll be well on your way to finding ideal and funky gifts.
Never fear if you're drawing a blank when trying to create your list of interests and activities; there are plenty of more generic options sure to bring a smile to his face as well.
Do Your Research
Armed with the list that you've created of his interests you're ready to start searching in earnest for funky gifts geared to the man in mind. This is where your creativity has the chance to flourish; there are so many options in every different category of interest, or even career, that you'll be spoilt for choice. Make sure you've left enough time before the big day to do some decent browsing and enjoy having a search around.
If you're drawing a blank or you were never able to compile that list in the first place have a think about some great ideas that are less tied to an interest or hobby. A man that likes a tipple now and then would definitely be appreciative of an engraved crystal tumbler and whisky gift set and you can bet that a lot of men would like a personalised calendar, whether that be of his favourite football team or something with a subject as peculiar as violent veg (sure to raise a giggle or two).
Stay Out Of The Mix
When you're looking for funky gifts for men it's important that you keep your interests out of focus and concentrate on the things that they might like. You might love a pampering day for two at the nearby spa but he might not agree! Remember that this is his special day and you want to find something that suits him, not you.
Having said that if you know that there are activities that you enjoy to do together then funky gifts associated with that activity would be very special to the man in question.
How Much To Spend?
The great thing about funky gifts is that they definitely don't need to break the bank. Although you might find some potential ideas a bit out of your price range keep looking because there are sure to be some things that you can afford. Personalised and funky gifts often look a lot more expensive than they are as you'll discover in your research phase.
The old adage, 'It's the thought that counts' still stands. That's not a great excuse to turn up with a piece of rubbish you found on the street and claim that you were thinking of them as it drifted into your path, but it does mean that you don't need to empty your life savings each year. A heartfelt, well researched and appropriate gift will always be appreciated and will say more to a man in your life than words ever could.
