I write about mens gifts and mens gift ideas, and I get asked a lot of questions about buying great gifts for men. And there's one question that comes up more than any other. "What gift do I buy for the man who has enough money to buy anything he wants?"
Now of course there's lots of men with enough money to buy whatever they want, and when birthday time or Christmas time comes he's got it all. Men like this don't drop hints about what they would like because if they want it they buy it. Whatever he wants he's got.
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 for a moment lets assume that he's got all he wants. There's his birthday coming up, or maybe it's Christmas coming up, and you really want to get him a hot gift anyway. Something he'll love even if he's got everything.
Here's 7 ideas for gifts for him. He may love all of them, he may love none of them, but I doubt it. There'll be at least one gift for him there that he'll love. Some are extremely expensive and some aren't.
1. Lingerie. Men love to see their women in hot lingerie and so if you buy some really hot lingerie and wear if for him I'll guarantee there's few men that would be disappointed. And it's something for you as well, and not expensive.
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 girls it's no excuse to say you can't find your size, there's lingerie made to fit any woman. And if he loves you large now he'll love you large wearing hot lingerie.
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.
And for all sorts of tastes. Would he love to do his first parachute jump? Try white water rafting? Drive a tank or a supercar? Go zero-g just like the astranauts do in training? You can give him a gift of any of these things and thousands more, from the extreme adrenalin gift to the gentle and invigorating and pampering gift. The adventure gift companies cater for all tastes in outdoors and adventure and adrenalin, even to beautiful and luxurious days like wine tastings and spa days. There's something for everyone.
3. An eco holiday. There is a growing worldwide movement to charity and volunteer and ecological work and travel. Rather than just buy him a holiday in Europe, which is a little ho hum, why not buy him some volunteer travel with a difference. There are lots of companies which offer adventure travel with a twist, volunteer work that helps out those less fortunate than ourselves, both people and animals and the environment.
He may end up on a research vessel 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 is work to be done but it is so interesting and adventuruous and invigorating that he probably won't even see it as work. It's fun, it's exciting, it's adventurous and it gives back to the environment and to many less fortunate than ourselves helping committed scientists with their research.
It's expensive often, but it a fabulous holiday. He'll never forget it.
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.
And Chinese art isn't expensive at all, and compared to the equivalent in Western art is extremely cheap.
5. Why not an elephant painting, again for a man who loves his art. Yes these really are paintings done by real Asian elephants, and done on paper made from elephant dung too. No I haven't gone mad, you really can get them and they look great too. And an elephant painting hanging on the wall is a great conversation starter at the dining table.
6. And for the man who has absolutely everything and who won't like anything at all from number 1 to 6, then buy him a whale. It is perfectly possible to do. He doesn't actually get a whale wrapped in paper to unwrap on his 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 his own whale or dolphin. There is a real whale or dolphin out there that is named for him.
It's a unique mens gift idea and on top of that the money goes to help protect the whales.
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.
