For someone that prefers girlie products to same old man stuff!! It's so hard to find something for the man without it being typically stereotyped (Man = James Bond). They never have any cool guys stuff. I have this difficulty at Christmas also..
It's like the whole western world thinks men only like chrome, beer, Simpsons, football, black leather, things shaped like an inside of a car, oh and don't forget about the tie.. Who even wears a tie these days?
I know for a fact my partner doesn't like any of these things and if I got him something he would think it was a joke.
But what do you get them???
Someone needs to come up with a cool guys range that doesn't fit the ordinary man into a stereotyped Buffoon..
Here's how far I got with my own ideas.. First a cute fox because I had to have a reason to buy it.. And plus its going in my house too... Second, Sight and Sound DVD a surf DVD featuring legend surfer Kassia Meador which I know he (and me) likes. Third, a book on the life of Michael Peterson which he loves to read and loves surfing and this is probably the last surfing related book left for him to read and Fourth, Lush products, always a favourite in our house. Even though there a little pricey, nothing beats Lush products.
And also some novelty chocolates. So you can remember why your buying him all these cool gifts... Just hope the other halfs use there minds and think of something as awesome as this.... (As if) but we dolove to spend money ... X
How about something homemade? Men do seem to like food (and it doesn't have to be a giant "manly" steak), I bake a lot and make muffins or brownies for my boyfriend, there are plenty of alternatives for healthy eating too and they always seem to go down well :) x
