Picking a gift for a man might seem simple. There are lots of lists with gift ideas out there. But how do you choose the right one that he’ll really enjoy? And what should you avoid giving altogether? Here’s a guide to help you make the best choice.
1. Don’t buy perfume based on your taste
One of the biggest mistakes is choosing a fragrance you like, instead of what he prefers. This takes away his individuality, and chances are he won’t wear it.Think about it: if someone gave you a perfume that didn’t suit you, would you really wear it? Probably not.
What’s the solution?
If you want to give perfume as a gift, buy a gift card from a perfume store. That way, he can choose a scent he truly likes, and you can even join him to help decide.From my experience, I found my last two perfumes pretty quickly, but the one before that took me a long time to choose. I finally decided with the help of a consultant and some compliments.
2. Accessories: match his wardrobe
Accessories are a great gift, but only if they match his style and wardrobe. For example, giving black leather gloves won’t work if his shoes and other accessories are mostly brown.
What’s the solution?
Take a look at the main colors in his wardrobe before you buy. This will help you choose something that fits his style perfectly.
3. Personal and memorable gifts
Gifts related to hobbies or interests can be amazing, but only if they align with his passions. For example, giving a book about whiskey is pointless if he doesn’t drink alcohol.
What’s the solution?
Find out what he likes first. It could be a collectible, a book on a topic he enjoys, or gear for his favorite hobby.
4. The golden rule: focus on his interests
Just like with perfume, don’t pick gifts based on what you like. The more you know about his interests, the easier it will be to choose something he’ll love.This approach not only brings joy but also shows you care and pay attention. A thoughtful gift will be appreciated and used, not left gathering dust on a shelf.
