Shopping for men isn’t always the easiest of tasks. When special occasions come around, it can be difficult to hone in on items that he’ll actually use and enjoy. If you’re looking for ways to make an upcoming anniversary memorable, keep these creative gift ideas in mind and make his day. No matter his passion, you’ll find the right fit.
For the Outdoorsman
If your guy is obsessed with all things outdoors, you have plenty of options to work with. If you’re looking to make this year’s gift a standout, consider his interests. Does he love hunting? Consider planning a special hunting trip with his buddies. Not sure you’re up to the task of gathering gear and picking the hunting spot? Use Guidefitter.com, a website that connects hunters to guides who can plan the entire trip. While it’s definitely a splurge, this provides the gift of experience and memories, and is sure to be a memorable present he’ll adore.
The Runway Guy
If you’ve managed to snag yourself a fashion forward fellow, you’re likely already the envy of your friends. However, having a fashionable hubby does come with its set of challenges, namely, when it comes to gift shopping. If you have a hard time picking the right shirts and are clueless as to his style when it comes to men’s accessories, consider Trunk Club. This is a cool subscription service that pairs up your fella with a personal stylist, who then sends him some great threads every month. He can buy what he likes, and send back what he doesn’t. Hint, hint: Maybe your guy is the opposite of a “fashionisto”; this could be the perfect gift to get him on the fashion track.
An Adrenaline Junkie
If your guy is constantly giving you pause by trying out the most dastardly of dares and isn’t satisfied until he’s tried every activity under the sun, check out FunSherpa.com. A cool experience gift site, it’s designed to help you locate all the local activities in your area, meaning you can feed into your guy’s adrenaline needs. Whether that be a pass for him to race a roadster on the track or jump out of a plane on a skydiving adventure, this is a gift that’s sure to knock his socks off.
The Traveler Extraordinaire
If you guy is constantly on the road for work, or he just has a love for travel that can’t be denied, consider making him a travel pack designed to help him handle anything he encounters on his travels. Grab a new Osprey pack and fill it with all of the travel essentials he needs to make his next trip more enjoyable. It could be a cushioned neck pillow that keeps his head cradled on that long red eye, or perhaps it’s a cosmetics case for his face wash shave gel, razor, and all the essential grooming goodies. Put the cherry on top of this already wonderful gift with a surprise weekend away for the two of you and make this anniversary gift one that keeps on giving.
Additionally, if your significant other also has a desire for motorcycles, and you have enough savings, consider surprising him with a new or used one. Then plan a thrilling road trip together, exploring scenic routes and new destinations while strengthening your bond as a couple. Take the opportunity to share his passion for travel and motorcycles, making this a unique anniversary experience.
For the Beer Lover
If your husband loves a good brew and prides himself on his knowledge about all the local craft beers, play to his hops sensibilities with some beer lover’s gifts. It could be a home brewing kit that he can use to craft his very own sips (along with a set of bottles he can use over and over again to serve his creations to his buddies), or perhaps it’s a guided tour of a local brewery so he can get the low down on all the processes that go into his favorite beverage.
If you’re on the hunt for creative anniversary gifts, consider your hubby’s passions and use this list as a jumping off point to find the perfect fit. You’ll be sure to make this year’s anniversary one to remember!
