In my opinion, the best kind of Christmas gift is one that comes from the heart. Gifts from the heart are thoughtful and practical, a combination that’s a rarity in a lot of people’s lives. And it’s even better when you can get a useful, practical gift for a man that shows your thoughtfulness without being too personal or intimate. There are many ways to make your home heart-warming, cozy, and welcoming. Some of the best Christmas gifts for the home are the ones that reflect its personality.
The following five gifts will appeal to any “everyman” on your list. If you’re looking for something unique yet affordable, these suggestions should help!
- A Gift Card for His Favorite Local Restaurant
A nice dinner out is always appreciated by guys who love to cook at home. And let’s face it: most men love to eat out! The next time he mentions going out to his favorite restaurant or bar, tells him you’ve got it covered and give him a gift certificate for his favorite place. He’ll be thrilled and relieved that he doesn’t have to pay for your meal while taking you out on a date night!
- A Comfortable New Pair of Socks
I’m not saying socks are sexy. But they do add an element of comfort and luxury to any outfit. Most men own several pairs of black socks and maybe one other color (usually navy blue.)
- Glasses Cleaning Cloth
If you have any men in your life that wear glasses, this is a great gift idea. A cleaning cloth will allow them to wipe off their glasses with ease. Plus, it’s something they can use every day of the year!
- Cologne
Another great gift idea is cologne or aftershave. Many guys have a special scent they like to wear every day. It’s always nice when someone takes notice of that and gets them a new cologne for Christmas! Let them know how good they smell by getting them this scent!
- iPad Mini Case
Another cool gift idea is an iPad case. This will keep their new iPad protected from bumps and bruises while they are on the go! This is also something they can use every day of the year!
- Tools
Men love tools! I don’t know why…but they do. And when your man is working on a project around the house or at work, he will thank you for getting him the right tool for the job. Just think about all the times you’ve heard him say, “I wish I had a…,” and then you run out, buy it, and he’s happy. It works every time!
- Game Console
This is another item that most men have longed for at some point in their life. If you have a gamer man in your life, make his Christmas wish come true by purchasing him an Xbox One or Playstation 4 (PS4).
- Smart Phone Accessories
What doesn’t man want to be smarter? Your typical guy doesn’t like to admit it…but he loves his electronics and would love accessories to make them better. Try buying him an external battery pack or an HDMI cable. He’ll be eternally grateful!
