7 Hot Mens Gift Ideas.

Posted by Peter Albonich - February 27th, 2009

I write all about mens gifts, and one of the most common questions I get asked through my website is “what gift do I buy for my man. He has plenty of money and buys what he wants, so he already has everything he wants”.

This is of course pretty common. Lots of men just get out there and buy something if they want it, they don’t drop hints near birthday time hoping that the hint will be picked up and acted on. Almost by definition, if he wants it he’s already got it.

Not always of course, often it’s a question of cost. There are men with a list of wants that they would like to fill, but just can’t afford them. If your man is like that, and you can afford those gifts, then ask him and see what he’ll say, he’ll probably jump at the chance to tell you about those things he’d love the most but can’t buy for himself.

But lets assume for a moment that your man can afford what he wants, and so you’re a little stuck for ideas for unique and unusual birthday gifts or Christmas gifts that are going to get his juices going.

Here’s 7 ideas for mens gifts that men love regardless. Now of course not all men are the same, so I can’t guarantee that your man will love all 7, but you’ll find something there he will love. Some are expensive, some aren’t.

1. Lingerie. Now of course I’m not the first person to suggest lingerie as a great gift idea for a man. But it works. Men love to see their women in hot lingerie, so it’s a gift for him that you wear for him. I see lots of lists of hot mens gifts ideas and lingerie is always there at or close to number 1. Affordable and it works.

Lingerie is a can’t fail mens gift idea as long as you wear it for him. You can never have too much lingerie, he’ll love it all.

And you can get lingerie in all sizes, so girls you have no excuses to say that you can’t find your size. If your man loves you large he’ll love you large and wearing hot lingerie too.

2. Buy him an adventure gift. Not all men love adventure, but most do. And believe it or not there are companies that cater directly to that with all sorts of adventure. Things that a man with a death wish will love right down to subtle adventure like a romantic spa for 2 at a beautiful remote location.

So would your man love to try white water rafting? How about parachute jumping? Or maybe he’d love to try a Zero-G ride like the astronauts do? Perhaps drive a supercar or a tank? There’s so many different options.

3. Why not an eco holiday? Men love to travel, like women, but a gift of a holiday in France might be a little ordinary. How about an adventure destination working with people who are less fortunate than us doing charity or volunteer work? There’s lots of options.

Maybe he’d love being on a research vessel in the waters of Mexico counting turtles or in the African wild measuring animal distribution. There’s a whole host of exotic destinations with all sorts of voluntary activities involved. It’s exciting, it’s fun, it’s very different. It’s adventurous.

It costs, it’s not free, but it’s an extremely unique and fabulous holiday that he’s unlikely to better.

4. Chinese art. I used to live in China and I love the artwork that comes out of the country. So many men love art, but good western art is expensive and it’s been seen before. Chinese art on the other hand can be wonderful and very different artwork. I just love the Yixing teapots for example, I bought mine for less than $10 each. And my Chinese wall hangings, less than $10 too.

Chinese art is extremely cheap compared to the equivalent in Western art. And it’s a mens gift with a difference.

5. An elephant painting. Another one for the man who likes his art. Painted by a real Asian elephant on paper which is made from elephant dung. Now before you wonder if I’ve gone mad check it out. The elephants really do the painting, I have a video of it on my website. And believe it or not they paint recognizable objects. The paintings look great, are extremely inexpensive, and would make a great artwork to hang near the table to stimulate some evening conversation with his friends.

6. And then there’s the man who has absolutely everything and doesn’t want for anything at all. Buy him a whale. You really can buy him a whale, although delivery is a little problematical, as is wrapping it up. What happens is that there are organizations like the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin trust that track and identify real individual whales and allow you to name a whale or dolphin just for him, so he has his own whale out there somewhere.

The money helps in the protection of our whales and gives him a unique and memorable gift.

There you have it. 6 suggestions for unique and memorable mens gift ideas. From around $10 right up to very very expensive. It’s up to you now.

No more excuses, no reason to say “I have no idea what to buy him for his birthday” now.
