A Girl’s Guide to Gifts for Him

Hands up if anything like this rings a bell…

“You want what?”

“Well it’s just… y’know… they’re really cool and it’s not like we’ve got our own laptop. And we’re not going on holiday this year either.”

“And you think it’d be a responsible thing to do, do you?! Buying you an iPad when we’re trying to save?!”

“Well no, I know. But…”

See, here’s the problem with buying gifts for him. He’s either got everything he wants already, what he does want is way too expensive, or he’s provided you with a list that’s going to result in either a) some serious Xbox time, b) golfing and football widows the country over, or c) bankruptcy.

Let’s put it another way. When it comes to gift ideas for him, yes, getting him the latest Call of Duty would be easy. But will he still get round to the hovering? Yes, hospitality tickets at the Lane will have him grinning from ear to ear. But will he be back by nine as promised? And yes, an iPad will go down a storm, but you’d both be left skint and you’re the one who ends up having to sit through hours of spontaneous tutorials.

Nope, it’s safe to say that for the sake of harmonious relations, buying gifts for him requires a little more guile. Thankfully, help is now on hand in the shape of personalised gifts. In fact, nowadays going down the personal route is a really popular option, allowing you to find some special ideas, as well as customising your pressie as you go along. And you’d be wrong if you thought it’ll break the bank. Affordable this certainly is.

One fail-proof option is to give him a gift of personalised whisky. Each bottle, whether blended or single malt, comes with a label that can include his name and a message. Plus, for a little extra zing, you can opt to include an original newspaper from a chosen day – be it his birthday, graduation or any other significant date. Other high-end options include the brilliant football books that feature the history of his team, through tabloid-sized reprints of reports from the club’s past.

For more unusual gifts, meanwhile, or for something a little bit ‘daft’, you’ll find spoof newspaper and magazine covers that can again be personalised with his name. There’s even the chance to personalise a Top Gear Stig poster. Footie calendars, personalised mugs and Cup Final DVDs are also available, while at the more serious end of the spectrum, things like bottle stops and hip flasks can be engraved with his details. More than anything, though, you’re best off getting online and taking a look around, where you’ll find far more bits and bobs than we’ve covered off here.
