30 Cool Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Husband

 

Over 30 Cool Gift Ideas for the Man in Your Life

Are you sometimes stuck when it comes to Christmas shopping for your husband? With the rush of shopping season, it’s not easy to come up with something that he’ll really like. Most women ask themselves repeatedly “What should I get him?” They’re looking for inspiration in the internet forums.

If you’re aware of your husband’s favorite pastimes or hobbies, you can start there. If you know he’s wanted something for a long time, go with that idea. Why not make it easy on yourself?

If you don’t know where to start then I’ve compiled some of my findings and hopefully you get one or two ideas from my post. Don’t worry about your budget, there’s something for everyone.


Common Gift Ideas for Him


Items used in everyday life are always a safe pick. These would be men’s grooming products or household tools. These items will not break the bank and are necessities in daily life:

1. New shaver or shaving set
2. Mustache and beard trimming set
3. New laptop bag, briefcase, backpack or messenger bag
4. Clothes ranging from jackets, sweaters or a suit for work
5. Any kind of multi tool, folding or utility knives
6. Personalized mug saying “best guy in the world” or any phrase you like
7. If you still can’t think of anything, a gift card is always appreciated

The Best Christmas Gifts for your Husband Will have a Connection to His Hobbies and Interests

 

Knowing your husband’s passion makes your job easier.

I have a male friend who’s very interested in anything to do with Home Theater. Every time I visit he always has the newest sound system, and his wife doesn’t complain. I know it can be very expensive to buy the whole system, so I’m not suggesting you do that, but you can consider buying one of these items :

8. Wireless or noise muting headphones
9. If you have the budget this year, why not give a wireless subwoofer?
10. A TV or speaker stand
11. Storage rack for his CD or DVD collection

If your husband is a DIY or home improvement guy, then you can think about one of these items:

12. Home repair or 50-piece household tool kit
13. Drill and screwdriver set

I have a nephew who is crazy about sports and fitness (and anything in between). Last year I bought him a new fitness bag and he was thrilled with my present. If your husband is a sport or outdoors person, I believe these items should be on your Christmas shopping list:

14. Sports Watch
15. GPS navigator or waterproof running GPS
16. Watch with heart rate monitor
17. If he likes fishing, a new fishing rod would be nice
18. A new tent with space for the whole family
19. Bicycle accessories
20. Books about travel

If he loves to read historical, fantasy or thriller books:

21.Game of Thrones DVDs or book set. This series is very popular, both the book and the TV series. I love almost all the characters in this series as they are very intriguing. Plus, most of them have an interesting political agenda.
22.Spartacus TV series. I personally like the first season when Spartacus was still fighting for his freedom from slavery.

Fun and Useful Gift Ideas:

 

23. Car gadget’s charger
24. Cuff link case
25. Passport wallet
26. Leather iPad case
27. Key ring with personalized engraving
28. DVDs or Blu-ray set from his favorite TV series or movie. If he’s a comic buff, then get him a DVD box set of all Marvel movies.
29. iTunes gift card
30. Kindle cover


Self Improvement Gifts

 

There is always a desire to improve ourselves in most areas of our lives. If you’re working, then you might think how best to improve your situation at work, whether it’s your salary that can be raised, or surviving office politics. For those who are married, people are always looking for ways to strengthen their relationship or ideas on how to balance work and family.

You can browse the self improvement section in your book store or search online for a topic that is relevant to your husband’s job. If he works in sales and marketing, a book or audio book on techniques for getting more clients might be suitable.


Tips and Tricks for your Holiday Shopping

 

Remember to make a list before you buy anything since you will need to shop for other family members as well. If you’re on a tight budget, do a little research first to compare prices on the items you have in mind.

Do try to buy online because most online stores have really good bargains. You can also find things that you may not find in brick and mortar stores.
