THE BEST BIRTHDAY IDEAS FOR YOUR HUBAND & GIFT IDEAS FOR MEN
Before I share these gift ideas for men, I want to encourage you to be creative. Yes, you can select and purchase any of these items as gifts, but the more thought that goes into your gift, the more your husband will appreciate it!
Make whatever gift you choose personal to him. Pay attention to what he likes and give accordingly. Hopefully, one of these gift ideas for men sparks your creativity!
Magazine Subscriptions for Men
What interests him? Cars, hockey, weightlifting, travel, architecture… find a magazine that gels with his interests and buy him a subscription.
Beer (or Wine) of the Month Club
Does your guy like beer or wine? Many places offer beer or wine of the month clubs. A few years ago, I bought my husband a beer-of-the-month subscription.
Every month, 6-8 exotic beers were shipped to our house, and he got to try them out! I also included a beer journal so that he could document his beer “tastings”.
A Class
No, I do not mean buy him class. I mean, buy him a class. My husband loves horses, so one year for his birthday, I bought him a horsemanship course!
Consider what your guy is interested in: art, sailing, cooking, martial arts, diving, etc. Whatever it is, I’m certain you can purchase a workshop or course for him to attend. Depending on the class, this gift may even be tax-deductible!
A Basket of Love
Grab a basket and fill it with a variety of things he loves! Potato chips, beef jerky, licorice, candy, new socks, a tie, beer or wine, gum, chocolate, etc. Mix it up and make it fun!
Tickets to an Event
Whether it’s a concert or sporting event, most guys like the opportunity to get out. Make it even more fun by buying a ticket for a buddy!
T-Shirt of the Month Club
I love my subscriptions—they’re the gift that keeps on giving! Last Christmas, I bought my husband a shirt-of-the-month membership from Busted Tees. This was a great gift! Every month, he received a voucher to claim a free t-shirt of his choice from their website. They have a lot of fun, humorous, and original t-shirts.
A Wallet of Cards
Get your guy a new wallet and fill it with gift cards to his favorite places: coffee shops, electronic stores, bookstores, clothing stores, etc.
Get Him a Toy
Has he told you a zillion times about that G.I. Joe Doll he had as a kid? Scour antique shops, eBay, garage sales, and thrift stores to find that novel toy from his past.
Time
Plan a weekend for him to escape life’s pressures and stresses. Contact some of his buddies and see what you can come up with. Perhaps a camping trip, fishing trip, or a weekend of golf?
Annual Passes
There are so many places that offer annual passes and memberships. My husband loves the zoo, so one year, I bought him (and our family) an annual membership to our local zoo. He loved it! Here are some places you could consider buying a membership from:
- art gallery
- science centre
- museum
- golf course
- fitness centre
Donations
Donations are always a thoughtful gift. I particularly like donations, where the recipient decides which organization or individual to gift the money to. Examples of such organizations are:
Whimsical Novelty Gifts
There are some great gift ideas out there—you just might need some inspiration. One of my favourite websites for unique gift ideas is www.thinkgeek.com. Browse their pages for a few minutes, and I’m sure you’ll find the PERFECT gift for your guy!
When all else fails, you can always ask him for a list and get some ideas for items from the birthday boy himself!
Bonus Idea: Dollar Shave Club
If your guy is anything like mine, he loves practical gifts. Well, you can’t get more practical than The Dollar Shave Club.
These razor blades are long-lasting and of good quality. The club has three different levels. Select what your guy would like the best. Trust me, he’ll swoon once he starts receiving his monthly razor shipments.

Great ideas! I have always found buying for the hubby hard too but this makes it sound easy!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the ideas, they sound perfect!
Great to hear!
Thanks Jennifer, I know a hubby that will be very happy.
So glad I could offer some assistance.
Great ideas! Thanks. Come November when my husband turns 34, I will have to find this post.
I hope it helps make shopping for the hubs a little bit easier!
Oh I love your idea of a wallet full of cards!! SO much fun :)
You bet… and sometimes, just sometimes, those cards are a gift to you as well (i.e. husband picks up a couple of coffees on the way home).
Great ideas!! I have a friend for over 30 years now (he is married to a very good friend of mine) and I never get him anything-cause I never know what the heck to get him–his son is easy–MONEY
Guys are so hard to shop for, great list! Thanks for sharing at Give Me the Goods Monday link party!
These are great ideas! My dad’s birthday is coming up in a few months and I really wanted to get him something good this year, even though we got him a lot for Christmas last month. One thing that I wanted to get, since he’s a big Patriots fan, are a pair of NFL slippers since he needs something on his feet when he is just hanging around the house for the day.
