Gift Ideas for High Maintenance Men > Gifts for Guys - HELP

I know, I know, you're all saying geeze give this girl a clue, but I seriously have no idea what to buy guys, either my friends who are boys or boyfriends. I'd like to be a bit original!!

What do you guys think? Any interesting or quirky presents that went down well or not so well?

I bought an ex of mine an arsenal jersey and he loved it so much.

Other presents that went down well was a Bulgari perfume set for my metro friend, a set of walkie talkies, beanies ( if they are a beanie person), scarf ( make sure they are a scarf person) and plain shirts always seem to be liked even if they aren't in to fashion. Usually they like getting clothes because they hate shopping for it themselves!

I always buy clothes as well, for my bfs lil bro ive been buying him shirts for all the major gift giving times.

If you know them well enough, and know their style and size, you should be right with a shirt as well

They may not say that are absolutely in love with it (because they're boys), but they'll wear it alot to show you they appreciate you buying it (but really they actually do like it as well, without saying so!)
I think guys like to look stylish, without letting on that they want to.. if that makes sense... so guys like it when their girlfriends buy them clothes as gifts

My boyfriend is too fussy for me to buy him clothes but some gifts that have gone down well are books and subscriptions to magazines eg. Mens Style, GQ etc and stuff for his home like candles etc. (OMG...my BFs such a metro!)

I think clothes are always a good gift.

Some online sites that sell guys clothes are:
www.justjeans.com.au
www.colorado.com.au
www.ezibuy.com.au
www.wheelsanddollbaby.com (sell mens printed singlets).

also, a good gift shop that has ideas for mens gifts is:
www.wishlist.com.au

Hope this helps.

Good idea to buy clothes for a man...? Well, if that clothes is a jersey of his favourite sports club, then, by all means, yes, but if you think that bf's like getting clothes from gf's, you must be totally nuts. Or you're being lied to. Unless he is down to his last t-shirt, and even that one is starting to fall apart, a guy will appreciate a keyring more than a t-shirt.
If you have extra money, buy him some entertainment system. Or something for his computer, or his car, or his whatever favourite thing he has.

Hi Winterwonderland,
What would your budget be? A few presents that I can think of at the moment would be:
- Golf driver
- Set top box
- Playstation 2 (obviously update to a 3 or a Wii)
- A really nice watch
- Mont Blanc Cufflinks
- 18 years of age Glenlivet
- road bike tool kit
- a pair of moccasins! Don't laugh, guys love that.

I hope that helps you think of something.. I'm pretty lucky as my b/f gives me hint on things he'd like (and then thankfully forgets that he's told me)

Goodluck x

I don't have anyone to buy this gift for... but I think this would be a fun gift for a man who has everything!

A remote control drink cooler. No longer would they have to walk to the esky in the middle of a game! Perfect present for a guy.

Gadgets are always good - not romantic perhaps but always appreciated - an ipad of a netbook are cool options IMO

I agree, gadget gifts always go down well with guys... or joke gifts. I got a spa day for men gift once and I really enjoyed that as well
