Man Gifts

My husband is the hardest person to buy presents for ever. I never know what to buy him for a birthday or Christmas so I have to start planing about 6 months in advance.
It's his birthday on June 10th, so why oh why did I think that it would be a good idea to marry him 5 days before his birthday?! This means that I need to get him anniversary gifts and then just 5 days later, I have to get him birthday presents!
Now don't get me wrong, I adore buying him presents, he is so appreciative of anything I get him and so good at doing a 'surprised, happy face' when I've maybe got it wrong! I just never have any good ideas of what to get him!
As I'm 99% sure that he doesn't read my blog, I'll go ahead and let you in on a few secret ideas that I have.


Kindle- he's always stealing mine and we're going to Turkey on July 9th so I think it will go down well as he loves to read on holiday.

Converse- My Mr H is somewhat a collector of converse, so he can never have enough pairs!

Wallet- He has a beautiful Vivienne Westwood wallet which is looking a bit worse for wear these days, but I know he's a fan of the designer, so maybe a similar one?

Gig Tickets- Not sure what gig, but he's happy going to see any live music so could be a good idea.

I just had to add this picture in for the gig tickets part- I just love Seth Cohen, anyone else?

Smellies- He will never admit it but loves to secretly use bath bombs, moisturisers and yummy shave creams.

Flip Flops/Holiday things- like I said, we go on holiday about a month after his birthday, so I could get him some flip flops, sunglasses and t shirts.

For our anniversary, we have already ordered our gifts to each other- Leeds Festival Tickets. As the firs year is paper, we thought it was a nice idea. We have also given ourselves a £20 budget to get a few other bits a surprises. I've seen a few bits that I want to get him- a t shirt in Primark with the Las Vegas sign on it and a pair of cufflinks that look like poker chips. Both fit in with with our wedding as we got married in Vegas.


I'd love your opinions on any other gifts for men that are hard to buy for. I love unusual, interesting, thoughtful presents, and i hope that maybe I've helped you guys with some tricky gift ideas! Let me know!
