Holiday Gift Ideas For Men Women Should Avoid Giving

Emery

Ladies do not make the mistake of giving the men in your life bad Christmas gifts. They want gifts they can use. In addition, there is an advantage to great gift giving to men. When they receive a gift they like and use it, they will think of you. Here are a few examples of worst gift ideas for men.

Clothing

Do not give the man in your life clothing. Many men have their own sense of style, usually have certain shirts, pants, and so on that they prefer. Unless you know him extremely well, such as exact size, style and designer he likes. I would shy away from giving clothes as a gift.

Cologne

Giving cologne to a man is a bad gift idea. He may feel that you think he smells bad and needs a little help in that area. Besides, you may pick out cologne that he does not like. Leaving him no choice but to put it aside and not wear the cologne, you gave as a gift.

Tools

Do not give tools as a gift to men. Men may think, “Great she wants me to fix something in the near future.” It is great to have a handy man around but shy away from giving him the tools for Christmas. If you want something fixed or repaired, wait until you give him a gift he will love. Once you do that, he will fix anything for you.

Gift Cards

Shy away from giving the man in your life a gift card. He may feel that you do not know him well enough to buy a Christmas gift for him. Men can be like women during holidays. They want to feel appreciated for the things they do. Spend timing searching for the right gift, so he knows you cared enough to put some effort into his Christmas present. You can also include a card wallet on this gift idea. Men have their own cards too so they need something where they can put them into. But you have to be very choosy when picking the right style and design so the recipient will surely love it.

Decor

If the man in your life lives alone, do not give him a gift for the house. Men do not like this as a gift. Your taste in decor may not be his taste. Men that live alone have a look to their home that, lets just say, is all their own. Why mess with that? He may feel you are trying to hint at something like, you need a woman’s touch to your home or you think he has bad taste for d├⌐cor. Ladies, you do not want him thinking like that.

Great Stocking Stuffer Gifts For Men

Emery

Every grown man is a kid at heart. So, nothing is more disappointing than a stocking stuffed with practical gifts like socks and underwear for Christmas. Many families provide a stocking for every family member at Christmas time. It would be a really exciting tradition if the stocking wasn’t stuffed with nose hair trimmers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, socks, a shoe shine kit, soap, and deodorant. If it’s the thought that counts, someone thinks you look like a bum, smell bad, have bad breath, and need to shine your shoes. There must be better stocking stuffer gifts for men! Here are six ideas for stocking stuffers for men:

  1. A Knife. You don’t have to go all psycho and get the Gordon 8-inch Survival Knife from Harbor Freight. But, a nice little pocket knife makes for a fun, manly, and slightly practical gift. Best of all, pocket knives fit well into a Christmas Stocking. Little pocket knifes like the Buck 425 MiniBuck and Case MiniBlackhorn are very inexpensive and Made in the USA. A Case Sodbuster Junior is a slight step up in price and very practical. If you have a little more to spend a Gerber Suspension Multi-Tool is a fun and practical gadget for lots of little jobs and the Kershaw 1550ST Blackout is a great knife for an outdoorsman. There are lots of great knives available in the stocking stuffer range of $10 to $50.
  2. A Wristwatch. A good bang around watch always makes a great stocking stuffer and there are plenty of attractive watches available for less than $50. For $12, you can get a funky M.Z. Berger Analog-Digital Watch from Walmart. While $20 at Target will get you a fashionably styled Mossimo Watch from Target. The Big Box discount stores also have lots of great watches like the futuristic Armitron Square Digital Sports Watch and the basic Armitron All-Sport Digital Watch. The outdoorsman on your list might like a basic Timex Expedition watch, while the computer technologist on your list might like the retro styling of the classic Casio Men’s Digital Watch. Wonderful watches aren’t all that expensive and make great stocking stuffers. Surely, with this watch, it will complement whatever type of men hair cut the recipient has. With its classy and elegant design, you will never go wrong with it.
  3. A Good Flashlight. If you want a truly macho gift, you might check out the American-made flashlights from Maglite. While a full-sized Maglite might not fit in a typical stocking, the Mini Maglite LED packs a lot of power into a small stocking stuffer sized package.
  4. Electric Shaver. There has always been something cool about the electric razor. While the purist may eschew electric shavers in favor of traditional blades, when you’ve got someplace to be an electric shaver comes in handy. Fortunately, basic entry level shavers like the Remington DA-307 Microscreen Shaver and the Norelco Micro Action Plus Rotary Shaver sell for less than $50. If you want a really cheap infomercial alternative, the MICROforce Wet/Dry Electric Shaver does the job on battery power and can be an essential item for a man’s desk.
  5. Cheap Sunglasses. If you are trying to stay infomercial cheap, a guy can never have too many pairs of cheap sunglasses. Sunglasses like BluBlocker Vipers or HD Vision WrapArounds are cheap and great to have in your car or around the house when you need them.
  6. Compact Binoculars. Finally sportsmen will enjoy having a decent pair of compact binoculars. At the low end, Tasco Essentials 8×21 binoculars are very affordable and they fit great into a man’s Christmas stocking.
  7. All of these men’s stocking stuffer gifts have one thing in common: they are better than socks, toothpaste, deodorant, or nose hair clippers.
