A smart gift for troublesome men

Men are tricky, we all know that, but a guy only gets really tricky when we have to pick a present for him. Father's Day, birthday presents, the holidays in December: always the same problem. You undoubtedly know the situation: either he already has everything, so you don't know what else to bring in, or - maybe even more irritating - he doesn't know how to come up with anything. So the hard work comes down to our already overburdened women's shoulders. Time to make things a little easier for us, you'd say. That's why you'll find ten gifts here that you can make any man happy with. This way we also have some time for ourselves, because let's be honest: if you know how to find the right gift, you've certainly earned yourself a reward...?

Gift idea 1: Men's night

For the man who sighs just a little too often that he 'can never do anything with the boys again'. So he wants to go out with the boys? All right! Make a nice voucher, or ask at that one nice little tent for a voucher, and that's it! Additional advantage: you kill two birds with one stone, because you'll have the house to yourself for an entire evening!

Gift idea 2: a beard care set

In recent years, our men have been allowed to let go when it comes to a nice beard. It's just a pity some gentlemen can't control their proliferation... With a nice shaving set, preferably with a cool retro look like the barber, you give a nice practical gift for a real man and also a subtle hint to keep things in shape!

Gift Idea 3: Sexy boxer shorts!

Please let's stop with those pale white fifties men's briefs ladies; there's so much beauty to wrap those men's buttocks in nowadays! Nowadays you don't have to look for an expensive lingerie store anymore, because a fast growing company like Dutch Designers Outlet has more than enough high quality designer boxer shorts for men. Opt for online shopping convenience from the top shelf and surprise him with a pair of sexy designer boxers that will make him look surprisingly good - a little present for yourself!

Gift idea 4: Barbecue boss outfit

You know that? You don't see them in the kitchen all year round, but when the barbecue season starts, they suddenly become the grill king. Shall we just give him his illusions? Then give him a nice barbecue boss set, including apron, tongs and accessories, and he'll feel like a kitchen prince. Depending on his talent, a bbq cookbook might also be a good investment...

Gift Idea 5: A sports adventure and a

Action and adventure are becoming a whole new category of gifts for him. Nowadays there are so many experience vouchers and vouchers available for rafting, kite surfing, mountain climbing or other sporting excesses that you can let him rage in the open air in any way you like: it's up to you whether you go with him or claim a day for yourself!

Gift Idea 6: A hobby!

It is a well-known problem: the Man Without Hobbies. Difficult, because those who have a hobby can keep themselves busy, so you can go your own way in the meantime. Doesn't your guy have a hobby? Give him one! Buy a do-it-yourself beer brewing set, a course in furniture making, or if necessary a fishing pole. The possibilities are really endless if you look around a bit. Tip for advanced students: offer the gift as if you just wanted him to have a good time, while you look forward to all the time and space you'll have when he's busy in the attic or in the shed with 'his' hobby!

Gift idea 7: Gadgets, gadgets, gadgets!

Even if men are too old to give them toys, you can always make them happy with a nice gadget, and there are plenty of them if you know where to look! Fit bits, phone accessories, powerbanks, or virtual reality goggles: with the latest technical gadgets you can keep them sweet for hours, while you can score a crazy new invention in any price range and for any weird hobby. Use your creativity and surprisingly come up with a gift for men he didn't yet know how indispensable it is to his life!

Gift idea 8: Beauty products for guys

We've got to get it out of the taboo, ladies. It's no longer a disgrace if a man wants to put a little time and energy into personal care. The time when you were a sissy when you used cream is over. Let's treat ourselves a little and give a few subtle nudges in the right direction: with special cool cosmetics for guys, we make him feel good, while giving ourselves a nicer look!

Gift idea 9: Star Wars Nerdgear

Maybe you're not broke, but Star Wars is here to stay, there's not much you can do about it. Luckily we're already so far that nerds can be quite attractive - with a little steering on our part, of course. It doesn't necessarily have to be a gift that's of no use to you... Do you want to make him happy and boost his fashion consciousness at the same time? How about these Freegun designer men's shorts with Star Wars 3D motifs? Also worth considering: if your Star Wars Nerdgear allows him to be a boy once in a while, then we can just demand that he behaves like a guy for the rest of the time, can't we?

Gift idea 10: designer fashion

This is actually an open door, but here's a wonderful opportunity to get more influence on his wardrobe, ladies! In the Netherlands it's bursting with fun fashion and designer houses, which really don't all ask for the first prize. If your guy is always walking around in the same worn knot, it's time to open his eyes and let him experience what serious designer fashion can mean for his looks, his look and his self-confidence! Extra gift bonus for us: once he's convinced of the added value of his designer outfit, it will be a piece of cake for us to rake in something new on a regular basis, because yes: now that he looks so stylish, we should be able to miss out on a bit of patenting, shouldn't we?
