Gifts for men FAQs, answered:

What is the best gift for men?

That's entirely dependent on who you're shopping for and the occasion. Some say the best gifts are those that take into account his interests and preferences. For example, if your dad finds a round of golf time-consuming and boring, I wouldn't suggest an indoor putting kit, but if he's an avid marathon runner, new trainers or fitness gadgets will hit the mark.

From experience, personalised gifts are often well-received, suggesting a certain level of thoughtfulness and effort has gone into getting them.

However, there's not always a need to get a physical present. With experience gifts — concert tickets, great seats to watch their favourite football team, or a countryside staycation — are fairly low-risk. That's because they cater to his tastes but also create lasting memories, making them some of the best gifts for men.

What is the ‘five gift rule’ for men?

If you're still struggling to nail down the perfect present, some suggest using the ‘five gift rule,' a tactic which involves gifting five (often fairly small) presents, one from each of the following categories: something they want, something they need, something to wear, something to read, and a special gift that holds personal significance.

What are good gifts for men who have everything?

It's a question I get asked at least once a week — because we all have a lot of stuff already. But that's where a little personalised twist on a classic gift will be appreciated. For example, why not embroider a washbag with his initials, which should also stop it from going walkabout at the gym?

Otherwise, I often think an experience gift is a great shout. A day out together — whether driving sports cars, brewing your own beer or touring his beloved football stadium — offers the chance to get off your phone and make new memories together, especially if your hangouts are often few and far between.
