Gifts for husband's birthday: choose the right and practical gift

A gift for your husband is often a very difficult task. A real man will not be very happy with a bouquet of flowers, even the biggest one, will not be delighted with a named cake and will not start to choke on the gift of cologne.

In addition, you want the money was not spent in vain, and the gift was a useful item for the whole family or at least the most masculine half. At the same time, there are a huge number of surprises that can be presented to the legal spouse.

Guidelines for gift selection

Gift ideas for the husband have a great variety, but before buying them in a store or ordering them online, it is better to stop and think again about what the dear man really wants to get.

Of course, the most correct option would be to ask the question, "What to give your husband for his birthday?" to the man himself. Very often he will gladly give you his preferences. If you want to make a real surprise, then you should think about what not to give:

• Not the most appropriate gift is considered anything that hints at overweight or other unpleasant features of the body or face of the legitimate spouse. Therefore, a gym membership, shampoo from dandruff, deodorant is better to give only on request men.
• Ordinary lingerie and other intimate items will not make your loved one very happy either.
• Trivial items like simple tools will not bring delight, as well as not quite trivial bouquets of socks or underpants. The first are already in the arsenal of a real craftsman or a novice journeyman, in the latter the husband will see only socks (or underpants), not much attention to the shape of the package.
• Cheap surprises (mugs, figurines, lighters) look like they were bought at the nearest department store, and do not give a man extra respect.
• Money. This is probably the most inappropriate option for the man you love. If you have absolutely no ideas, then you can give a gift certificate to a valued husband store or pay for your spouse to buy at his request.

The best gift will be a gift that takes into account the characteristics of the loved one and will be a useful thing.

Expensive gifts

An expensive birthday gift to the husband from his wife can be presented:

• a gaming or work computer;
• the latest model of cell phone;
• a trip to the resort;
• massage chair or rocking chair.

For stylish men, luxury cufflinks or tie clips, a named cigarette case or lighter made of noble metals, and jewelry will be useful.

Most often, these are not cheap things presented on the anniversary.

Inexpensive gifts

The original gift to the husband does not have to be expensive. Not bad options remain:

• shaving accessories of all kinds;
• drinks and accessories for them;
• bathrobes and sweaters;
• belts, bags, purses.

And to make such a fairly simple gift unusual and memorable, you can use an unusual way of giving.

Such gifts can be:

• Packed in a basket or independently make (buy) a parcel box, hanging there a lot of wax seals.
• Supplement with accompanying or completely unconventional things. For example, add a bottle of wine to the foam or bath gel, put candles and snacks to the wine, attach to sets of tea or coffee a story about the appearance of drinks, funny cases, the rules of use. Handbags can be supplemented with a supply of food, nuts and snacks put in the pocket of the robe.

Practical gifts

The man clearly will not be delighted with a new tablecloth and curtains, but towels with an embroidered monogram will be quite a worthy gift. And an orthopedic pillow will help relieve some of his health problems.

For a craftsman-handyman a good drill, a screwdriver, an electric saw and a toolbox will be useful. If your spouse is too far from such ideas, a certificate to a specialized store will come to the rescue.

For a country house or country mansion, a good and practical addition to the interior will be a fireplace. A small warm object will remind you of the holiday in a city apartment, especially during the off-season.

Less romantic ladies can present a fan heater.

Gifts according to hobbies

Presents that focus on the hobbies of your loved one will not be a bad gift:

• For motorists an excellent gift would be a pad on the steering wheel, a massage mat on the seat, a grid in the trunk and everything else that is associated with the iron horse.
• Those who like to sit in the dawn with a fishing rod in his hands will not refuse a new reel, fishing rod, a cozy tent or barbecue.
• The husband, in love with camping life, will appreciate the new kettle or a set of products, foam or sleeping bag for sitting, backpack or comfortable shoes, thermal underwear.
• For athletes a good gift would be professional equipment, certificates to the pool, tennis court, gym, depending on the hobbies. Maybe the spouse will need new skis, skates or bicycles.
• Connoisseurs of alcoholic beverages will appreciate the wine bar, in this case the problem of future gifts will also be solved, glasses with lighting, cooling cubes for whiskey, shakers for making cocktails, aerator.
• Steam lovers will appreciate hats and bath towels, ladles, thermometers and funny inscriptions.
• For the office unusual mice, flash drives and thermo mugs will be useful.

Purely professional gifts will help to choose a colleague's spouse.

Original gift

An unusual gift to the husband for his birthday will remain in the memory of the recipient of the surprise for a long time. The category of such surprises includes:

• "Spontaneous" parties with friends. Only the wife should prepare in advance for such a meeting of friends and stock up on plenty of beer or wine.
• A romantic dinner for two with the spouse's most favorite dishes. For young spouses, it can be made intimate by buying special outfits or using handmade clothes.
• An unusual greeting with a mountain of balloons, each containing touching messages or homemade certificates for the fulfillment of wishes.
• Quest. For it you can invite specialists from the nearest event-agency or come up with it yourself, using the apartment or dacha to search for the main prize or a pirate treasure (ordinary coins will do, in which case the birthday child will immediately have a continuation of the exciting event called "exchange coins for bills").
• A wall newspaper or an album with photos from different periods of life of the loved one. In this case, you can't do without the help of your mother-in-law or old abandoned folders with cards. The original newspaper can be ordered through the World Wide Web, in which case the husband will receive a real print edition, which will describe his adventures and funny stories.
• A picture by photo will be a good gift for any holiday. It can be a simple painting or an imitation of a portrait on a horse, a throne, in space, on a virgin land.

Among the unusual gifts are gifts of emotion. For the strong half of mankind they can be:

• a parachute jump;
• flying in an aerotube;
• driving buggies or jeeps on rough terrain;
• horseback riding;
• rock-climbing lessons;
• karting or rafting.

In small towns, where such activities are not carried out, you can find a club laser tag or paintball, invite your spouse to bowling, to the movie theater for "kissing spots" for massage.

A great gift would be a joint hike in the woods with overnight stays, sitting around the campfire, competitions with friends or colleagues.

Gift with humor

If the husband has a good sense of humor, you can order a funny caricature or go to a gag store. Gifts can be:

• crown of the emperor;
• bath set of the king;
• alco-game;
• T-shirt with a funny inscription;
• slippers in the form of a car with LEDs;
• wish card.

If your spouse is a serious enough person, it is better to skip this point.

Gifts with your own hands

Surprise the spouse and presents, made by hand. First of all, these are edible gifts: beer bouquets, breakfast in bed with original sandwiches or eggs in the shape of a heart, an unusual candlelight dinner, fortune cookies.

Love scarves and pullovers, tied with his hands, funny thick socks.

As you can see, it is not so difficult to make a good gift for your spouse. In this case, most of the gifts will not require large investments of money. To please the betrothed, it is enough to know his hobbies and use your own imagination.

To the creation of gifts you can connect his friends, colleagues, parents and friends. And then the simplest holiday will be a real explosion of positive emotions.
