Elsie UdohThis one is for the ladies, especially those with a significant other in their lives. But you will still find this useful, at least for future purposes, if you don’t have one right now. Before we go on, let’s quickly remind you that you don’t need to wait until a particular day or occasion to spoil that special man in your life.
But then again, we understand how swamped life can get and that there’s just not enough time to treat your man how you’d really love to. However, no matter how busy you’ve been the entire year, you have to treat your man right this Christmas, if not for anything, for sticking with you until the end of the year.

How To Find The Perfect Christmas Gifts for Your Man
Now, we could get started giving you a list of what to buy already but we’re not going to do that just yet.
Finding the perfect Christmas gifts for your man is less about how much you spend and more about how intentional you are in your choice and the impact your gifts will have on your man.
Now don’t get overwhelmed with our use of ‘gifts.’ If you cannot afford to, then you can always just settle for one gift that will mean more than even a thousand, that ONE that will release your man’s inner child and leave him spoiling you with hugs, kisses, and more. And definitely a gift that he will treasure for a long time.
If that’s what you want, then we’ll create a checklist to guide your gift selection process and help you find the perfect gift that suits your man and serves as the right piece of your heart for him.
Checklist One: What Are Your Man’s Interests?
Gifting your man something that aligns with his interests will make a perfect gift for him because he will keep returning to it as much as he can. So if you don’t already know, now is the best time to find out:
- Your man’s hobbies.
- The kind of music, movies, or shows that he enjoys.
- His favourite sport or team.
- What he fancies, whether sneakers, watches, or gadgets (oops, we just gave you some gift ideas there).
To make it less obvious, you can ask his family members or close friends so that you don’t only get the best gift but make it a perfect surprise.
Checklist Two: Next Up, Identify His Needs
This is where being observant will help. Think really hard about these:
- Has he recently mentioned something he needs or wants?
- Is there something that he already owns that is due for an upgrade? Like his wallet, headphones, gym bag, or even his phone. (PS: You have yourself some more gift ideas there.)
- Is there something you could gift him that can help him with his daily routine or work?
If you’ve ever wondered what makes the difference between just a partner and an intentional partner, it’s everything that has been mentioned above.
Imagine how your man will feel if he has been complaining about his system affecting his eyes and you thoughtfully gift him with anti-blue light glasses. His love for you will topple—the kind that will leave people wondering what charm you used on him—and you’ll find him doing almost everything for you. That’s the power of intentionality.
Checklist Three: Consider Personalised Gifts
Give your man something with his name on it or even a combination of both of your names or what you love to call yourselves on it. That’ll make your gift more special. You could:
- Engrave his name or initials on it.
- Get a custom-made gift for something that he loves. For example, a custom-made water bottle if he loves to gym.
Checklist Four: Try Shared Experiences
Who says your gift only has to be something physical? You can gift your man an experience or even both an experience and a physical present.
- Consider doing an activity together with your man. This could be attending a concert together, a spa session, going on a weekend getaway or attending a cooking class.
- You can also create a pleasant memory with your gift by giving him a couple photo album (the pictures in it will be of the both of you, of course) or writing a cute love letter to him.
Checklist Five: Find a Gift That Aligns With His Style
What’s your man’s style? Knowing your man’s style can also help you find the perfect gift for him.
- Does he prefer to look casual, sporty, or professional?
- Does he like accessories?
- Does he prefer plain colours or strips?
Checklist Six: What Is Your Budget?
We know that the love you have for your man is way beyond any amount but then we don’t want you going broke after gifting the love of your life so instead have a budget.
Know how much you are willing to spend and don’t beat yourself up if you can’t spend as much as you’d like. Remember, it’s the thought that counts.
