From flowers to candles, there are many gifts that we commonly associate with women. But many of these gifts can be equally great options for men. Below are a few examples of gifts that aren’t just for girls.
Flowers
Yes, you can buy flowers for a man. It could be a great romantic gesture for a partner or a simple way of cheering a relative up. What types of flowers should you buy for a man? Bold and earthy tones can be a good option – avoid pinks and pastel colors, and instead opt for vibrant blues and yellows. A florist may be able to help you choose the perfect selection of flowers to suit their personality.
Diamond jewelry
A growing number of men are also wearing diamond jewelry. This includes not just hip-hop-inspired bling, but more traditional items – including diamond engagement rings. Men’s diamond jewelry typically uses silver rather than gold, and tends to be chunkier than women’s jewelry. This could be a great gift for a special occasion when you want to splash out. Can’t afford real diamonds? The likes of these gorgeous chains made from moissanite stones could be a great alternative option.
Bath bombs
Most bath products are aimed at women, but many men enjoy a relaxing bath too! Bath bombs with masculine scents like sandalwood and bergamot can be a great gift for men who like their baths. You can shop for bath bombs online – consider buying a selection of different bath bombs for them to try.
Candles
You can also buy candles for men. In fact, there are many candle sets that you can buy that are aimed at men. As with bath bombs, these candles tend to have more masculine scents like smoked leather, citrus and oak moss. Check out this guide to men’s candle scents for more inspiration.
Pink clothes
Up until the 20th century, pink was commonly worn by men and women. The idea that pink is a girly color is a relatively new idea – and one that is already starting to be increasingly challenged by men’s fashion. An increasing number of men’s shirts, tops and hoodies are becoming available in pink. Deep pink is particularly popular and has been worn by many male celebrities in recent years.
Skincare products
Many men are now taking steps to look after their skin too and there are lots of moisturizers, serums and exfoliants now targeted at men. Such skincare products could be a great gift option to consider. It’s certainly better than the generic option of shampoo or deodorant.
Spa day
Men need time to destress too. A spa day could be a great experience-based gift to consider for a man. Many local spas have gift packages that you can buy that allow you to use their facilities with drinks or lunch included. This could be a great joint gift for you and your partner to enjoy together. You could even look into spa hotels so that you both stay somewhere overnight.
