Finding a Perfect Gift for Husband on His Birthday in India (2018)

As much as guys complain about shopping for women, finding a great gift for men can be just as complicated. Men tend to like either intense hobbies or nothing at all. And they also tend not to like change when it comes to their everyday items like a wallet, watch, or belt. A lot of thought goes into finding a great gift. Whether your husband is the type of guy to be open about wanting gifts or someone who pretends not to want them but actually wants them, we can help you.

No matter if you have an adventurer, intellect, fitness junkie, or some weird combination of those in your life; you can find a gift for them. Are you looking for something goofy to bring a smile to his face? Or are you looking to get him something functional that he will use a lot? Whatever your need is, we can meet it. You can even find something for the notoriously ‘hard to shop for’ husband in your life.

Some men might be constantly dropping not-so-subtle hints about products they’d love to own, dog-earing catalogue pages featuring items that interest them, or even outright telling you what they want for the holidays or an upcoming birthday or another special event. Chances are, your husband is not one of those guys, or you wouldn’t be reading this! Fear not. We are here to help you come up with ideas for gifts that he’ll be really excited to receive.

When he first gets up, what does he do? Go for a run? Shuffle to the coffee maker? Wake up the kids? These are all good things to keep in mind if you want your gift to be a useful one. Picture his daily routine and see how your gift can figure into it. Maybe he’s into the prototypical “guy” things like sports, beer, and fishing. These are all great interests to have, but it’s important to consider what this specific man is into. Maybe he likes suits or poetry; maybe he’s more into wine. Whatever he likes, give it some thought and see how you can support his passions.

A high-powered lawyer is likely to have different needs than a contractor. You don’t want him standing out from the crowd in a bad way. Even small things—like a pen—can be customised to the setting. A black aluminium tactical pen is likely to fare better on a construction site than an engraved fountain pen, and vice versa. If he’s a stay-at-home dad or working artist, his needs will be different too. Think about his dreams. What is something that he has always wanted to do? Where is a place that he has always wanted to visit? Support his dreams with something small that will help or encourage him along the way.

Meaning counts more than money. When you take the time to find something specific and personal, it doesn’t matter what it costs. If you want to make your own gift, go right ahead—it will mean more than something generic and expensive.

Having a clear idea about your spending capacity will prevent you from overreaching and blowing up money on expensive gifts that you really cannot afford to buy. Once the gift hunt begins in all earnestness there is so much you will want to splurge on, having a reminder will control those urges. There are plenty of ways to make a birthday special and if an expensive gift looks unlikely, compensate in other ways.

Celebrating is an attitude, a way of being that, practiced regularly, can become a way of life. It focuses our minds on the present and fills us with a sense of belonging and appreciation. Marking occasions - birthdays, graduations, and weddings - remind us to celebrate. But in the end celebrating isn’t really about occasions; it’s about people and the ways which we love, admire and draw strength from one another. It will be apt to gift him something which is presentable and which he would like to flaunt during the event, and as such, personal gifts should be saved for those occasions when only you two are together. You may gift him something that gives him a sense of accomplishment. These can objects that remind us who we are, where we came from, what we’ve done, and the contribution we make. They is a joy to give and a joy to receive.
