I write all about gifts for men, and one of the most common questions I get asked through my website is “what gift do I buy my man? He has a lot of money and buys what he wants, so he already has everything wants”. .
This is of course quite common. A lot of men just go out and buy something if they want it, they don’t drop hints around the birthday in the hope that the hint will be picked up and acted upon. Almost by definition, if you want it, you already have it.
Not always, of course, it’s often a matter of cost. There are men with a list of needs that they would like to fulfill, but just can’t afford. If your man is like that and you can afford those gifts, then ask him and see what he says, he will probably take the opportunity to tell you about the things he would most like but can’t buy. for the same.
But let’s assume for a moment that your man can afford what he wants, so he’s kind of stuck on ideas for unique and unusual birthday gifts or Christmas gifts that will make it work.
Here are 7 gift ideas for him. I may love them all, I may not love any of them, but I doubt it.
There will be at least one gift for him that he will love. Some are extremely expensive and some are not.
1. Lingerie. Now, it’s not entirely a unique gift idea, but it will almost certainly work. Men love lingerie. Worn by their women, of course. I have seen many lists of favorite gifts for men and there is a common gift theme. Lingerie is always up there.
No matter how many pieces of beautiful lingerie a woman has, if she selects well and chooses the right piece, I can guarantee that her man will love it, provided of course that she wears it for him.
It is almost a gift that cannot fail.
And there’s wonderful lingerie available for women of all sizes, so ladies, that’s no excuse to say you’re a little big. If your man loves you big, he will love you big and you will look great in sexy lingerie.
2. Adventure gifts. Most men love adventure and adrenaline. Not all, but most. And many women are not.
aware that there are some excellent companies out there that cater to this extremely well. It is possible to find all kinds of adventure gifts for men and women that you would never have thought existed.
And for all kinds of tastes. Would you love to make your first parachute jump? Try whitewater rafting?
Drive a tank or a supercar? Go to zero gravity like astronauts do in training? You can give her a gift of any of these things and thousands more, from the extreme adrenaline rush gift to the soft, invigorating and cuddly gift. Adventure gift companies cater to all tastes in outdoor activities, adventure and adrenaline, including beautiful and luxurious days like wine tastings and spa days. There is something for everyone.
3. An ecological vacation. There is a growing worldwide movement towards charity and voluntary and green work and travel. Instead of just buying him a vacation to Europe, which is a bit boring, why not buy him a volunteer trip with a difference? There are many companies that offer adventure travel with a twist, volunteer work that helps those less fortunate than us, both people and animals and the environment.
You may end up on a research ship in the waters off Mexico counting turtles or in the wilds of Africa measuring the distribution of African animals. The destinations are almost always exotic. There’s work to be done, but it’s so interesting, adventurous, and invigorating that you probably won’t even see it as work. It’s fun, exciting, adventurous and gives back to the environment and to many less fortunate than us by helping scientists who are committed to their research.
It costs, it’s not free, but it’s an extremely unique and fabulous party that’s unlikely to get any better.
4 Chinese art. This is one of my favorites because I lived in China for a while and I love Chinese art. We have so many pieces that we don’t have enough space to hang them all. From beautiful Chinese wall hangings to the absolutely fabulous and unique Yixing teapots, there are so many pieces of Chinese art that would go very well in many of our Western homes.
And it’s so cheap. For the man who loves his art, Chinese art is a gift of art with a difference.
5. Men’s jewelry. Now this is a gift for a man who likes to wear jewelry obviously and you need to establish this first. However, for a man who likes his jewelry, there are some extremely trendy and impressive pieces of jewelry available on the net now at very competitive prices. And they’re made exclusively for men using some of the finest and most masculine jewelry metals. like titanium. If you haven’t checked out titanium jewelry for men online lately and your man likes jewelry, you should. It is a wonderful and sometimes extremely romantic gift for the right man.
6. An elephant painting. Another for the man who likes his art. Painted by a real Asian elephant on paper that is made from elephant dung. Now, before you wonder if I’ve lost my mind, check it out. The elephants really do the painting, I have a video on my website. And believe it or not, they paint recognizable objects. The paintings look great, are extremely inexpensive, and would make a great piece of art to hang near the table to spark late-night conversation with your friends.
And in Thailand, where many of the elephant paintings are made, they also make the most impressive paper out of elephant dung. And yes, again I have links on my website to sites where you can see how it’s done, it’s not a scam. It’s a beautiful paper, and you can make your elephant painting on elephant dung paper.
7. And for the man who has absolutely everything and who won’t like anything from numbers 1 to 6, then buy him a whale. It is perfectly possible to do it. You don’t actually get a paper-wrapped whale to unwrap on your birthday. However, there are organizations like the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust that track and identify individual whales and dolphins, and allow you to name your own whale or dolphin. There is a real whale or dolphin named after him.
The money helps in the protection of our whales and gives you a unique and unforgettable gift.
So there you have it, 7 great gift suggestions for the man who has everything. Priced anywhere from $50 or so, to very expensive.
Now you have no more excuses to say “I have no idea what to get her for her birthday.”
