Think about items that are connected to his interests, although they don’t have to be directly related. He must have favorite activities that he likes to do regularly. Whether he is an avid rugby player or more of a golfer, his hobbies can help you a lot to decide what to get for him. Is he trying his hand at cooking gourmet cuisine or he does he nurture a passion for writing poetry? Find out what he loves doing and chose the gift accordingly.

Consider your finances and how much you would be able to spend on a gift for your husband. While buying a gift for your husband in India, you need to keep in mind your budget as well. Whether you are looking for something pocket friendly or willing to splurge, we all have our preferences and limitations. Therefore while choosing a surprise gift for your husband, set a budget and adhere to that. Your husband won’t like you to spend all your savings on something extravagant for him, but if you do want to buy him an expensive item, start saving up so you have enough. Remember always, it’s always the thought that matters. Look for offers online and also in stores. Earmark the items you have an eye on and wait for the seasonal sales to see if the prices on those drop. Make a list of all the possible gifts and take your pick.

Gift your husband something that will last a lifetime and also remind him of you whenever he sees it. A ring with his birthstone or a wristlet are both good options. After spending time together for so long, you must have a pretty good idea about what he likes. Give him something that he will cherish all his life.

Men of all ages love gadgets. To give your husband the best gift on his birthday, do some research on the latest gizmos launched in the market. Don’t just buy something on a whim. Think about what your husband wants. Your aim is to get the best gift for your husband’s birthday or your anniversary. Try to think of something he wants badly.

Sports are great way to keep one motivated and healthy. Get a sports kit for your husband depending on his choice of activity. The Callaway Strata Plus Golf Club Set, available on Amazon and priced at Rs.49,390 is a great gift for your golfer husband.

If your husband is hard to shop for or if you are out of ideas for gifts, then get him a gift card and let him choose his own gift. A few years into a marriage there are very few surprises left between a man and wife and if your previous attempts at finding him things he will like have failed, save yourself some heartache and let him get whatever he wants.

The whole premise of surprise gifts is slightly faulty because the person on the receiving end knows best what he would like, and as close as you are to him, it's impossible to know his deepest thoughts. Many people actually prefer being asked what they want. At many levels this makes sense, because when shopping for a gift the giver is often focused on the wow factor, the instant reaction on seeing the present. In the long run though, less exciting gifts can turn out to be appreciated a lot more.

Having put behind a few years together you would know what kind of man your husband is and if he'd be happiest being given a choice. So if have had niggling doubts, put them to rest, it is perfectly fine to give gift cards and even cash, you have our blessings. The Amazon Gift card is a good option as he will get a variety of products to choose from. They are available in various denominations starting from Rs.1,000 and go up to Rs.10,000.

We promised no boring gifts at the start, but really, this is a very important and useful gift. While many men are conscious of their appearance and would take effort to look well groomed, the sad truth about many Indian men is they kind of give up soon after marriage, if not immediately then a few years down the line. As awful as this sounds, it's true! It's almost as if they tell themselves they have a wife and a family and can't be bothered with superficial things like appearances. You can almost picture them lean back, put their feet up and shrug it off.

It's almost your duty them to try to smarten him up a little. A classic gift to give to your husband would be a tie and belt set. Pick out a tie in his favorite color and pattern.

It’s something that he can use often and he won’t be able to help being reminded of you every time he wears them. The Tied Ribbons Romantic Gift Box Combo with men's tie, leather wallet, a reversible leather belt and red rose is a charming gift for your old man. It will cost you around Rs.999 on Amazon.

Does your hubby spend a lot of time clicking photos when you two go for holidays? Then there might be a photographer within him itching to unleash his creativity.

It’s best to get it tailored according to your husband’s exact measurements. You can visit your nearest Canali store. You will find a variety of options.
