Gifting isn't just About Presenting an Item, It's About Making the Other Person Happy!
Handing out gifts is special. Is it not exciting to see your loved one’s face light up with joy and happiness? While we usually provide gifts on birthdays, anniversaries or festivals, how often do we gift someone unless it is some occasion? We can always surprise the people we love at any given time and make their days filled with happiness.
Whatever be the occasion, men usually receive the same kinds of gifts, things like socks, cufflinks, and ties. However, if chosen the right gift, they can have a penchant for unusual gifts as well. Based on your relationship with the person, you need to send a gift that could rekindle some amount of fun with the person. You need to provide a funny spin to their favourite hobbies. Or, it could be something they may not have seen before. It need not be costly, but the idea is to give something that stays with them for long.
The Most Unusual Gifts for Men You can Buy Online
Black Butterfly Wooden Printed Mini Whiskey Bar
If the person loves his liquor and has always repented that he did not have a movable bar, then why not gift him one instead. A stylish drinks case from Black Butterfly will be an ideal gift for a picnic or a party-loving man. It will help him to spend quality time with his friends when they plan an outing.
The item is presented in a decorative wooden black box with a creative lock. The mini bar consists of a hip flask, a tong, three glasses, and a peg measurer. Coming at Rs. 1,995, this mini whiskey bar will also fit into a moderate budget. It is available for purchase on Amazon.
Wondershelf - Floating Bookshelf
Most of us love books and find it irritating when they are strewn all over the house. A floating bookshelf from Artori Design would be helpful. It will be doubly joyful for lovers of Wonderwoman. A unique gift for superhero lovers, the bookshelf gives a feeling that a silhouette of Wonderwoman is holding the books mid-air. It is, however, suggested that you do not overload this magic shelf.
The floating bookshelf is a global bestseller coming from the Artori Design stable. It is available on Amazon and is priced at Rs. 5,516. If you think the recipient wouldn't fancy Wonder Woman, there are various other designs available too from which you can choose.

Points to Check When You’re Selecting a Gift for a Loved One
- Convey Your Message Right: Even before you search for unusual gifts for men, you will need to identify the message that you want to tell him. It will help you to bring down the gift options and make it easier for you to select any particular gift. You wish to convey the message that the person is the funniest person around, then you may have to choose a similar gift for them.
- Identify the Tastes of the Person: You need to know what excites the person. What are the items that he had always longed to have? You also need to be able to procure the gift item quickly rather than have difficulty in purchasing it. If you have sent a gift to the person in the past, you may recollect the factors that made you select that gift. Also, what were the reactions of the person when he received the gift? If it is for a special occasion, you need to anticipate the responses from the person also.
- Understand the Needs of the Receiver: You should ask yourself whether the person had informed you about any item that they required. If they were recently back from a trip, did they complain about missing any travel kit? If they are a health freak, did they talk about losing a sleek bottle to be carried to the gym and back?
You should put yourself in the person's shoes and try to understand their goals and motivations. Would not it be best if you can provide a gift that would help them in their daily life too? One can always go with food gifts, but how long do they last? So we suggest you buy a gift that lasts for a considerable amount of time!
