It’s Valentine’s Day as I write this article, so perhaps it would be more appropriate to talk about Valentine’s gifts for men, but let’s stick with our original theme of birthday gifts for men and go from there. So what exactly should you give that guy on your birthday list? You can always get him a tie or a sweater, but why not sacrifice your gift a bit and get him something really special this year? In this article we will highlight the top five current areas to consider.

Area #1 – A romantic gift

Are you in a romantic relationship with this guy? If so, why not get him something romantic for his birthday? Romantic gifts for men are always a great idea for someone you want to impress. How about this idea… a romantic getaway? You could plan a little trip to that special city that he has always wanted to visit. You both could probably benefit from getting away from all the pressure of daily life.

Area #2 – Homemade

Homemade gifts for men literally scream “I really thought of this gift.” A homemade gift is a unique gift and adds that “little touch of you” that boys love to receive. The question is, what kind of homemade gift. Well, you’re planning to get him a birthday card anyway, aren’t you? Well then why not get him a Jib Jab card? This company makes extremely fun stuff… you should definitely check them out.

Area #3 – An unusual gift

We all love receiving something that is unique and special. Men love to show their friends something that is a real talking point. Unusual gifts for men can be a novelty gift…something that just screams “look at me.” We have found the company that has this type of gift. They have tons of stuff. For example, are you a fan of Star Trek? If so, could you get him a Star Trek Tribble? If you’re not a Star Trek fan, you probably have no idea what we’re talking about… but he sure will.

Area #4 – Food

“The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”…or so the saying goes. If this is true, then there’s no better way to show that special guy in your life that you really care than to get him a fantastic gourmet meal…something he’ll really love to “eat”. Here’s a suggestion you might want to consider… how about making him a steak dinner one night? You can add a nice dinner set and some candlelight and it will be a night to remember forever. We have found the right steaks for this occasion…

Area #5 – Sports Gifts

Lots of guys play some kind of sport and will appreciate you noticing that fact. How can you? Of course, with a special gift on his birthday. Why not give them a special sports-related gift? A signed helmet or football, a signed jersey or basketball, a signed baseball or bat, a signed stick or record can go a long way to tell him “I know you’re a sports fan.”

The conclusion

We hope you really enjoyed this little trip into the wide world of great birthday gifts for men (stay tuned… we’ll cover anniversary gifts for men in a future article). Our summary?
