Christmas will be here before you know it! If you have a lot of guys on your list, you better start thinking now. Many of us dread shopping for men. I mean, how many polo-style shirts, pajama pants, and boxers does anyone really need?
Just once, you’d like to see him really “wowed”, or at least amused by your gift. Yes, if you had a ton of money, the “wow effect” would be easy. But, for most of us, that’s just out of the question and we just settle for the same old, tried-and-true, gifts for men. The best we can hope for is a “woah”.
Purchasing a gift for the man who has everything can be a daunting and challenging task. So, exercise care and avoid becoming stressed out or frustrated. Just take into consideration the man’s personality and interest and then try to select an original and unique gift. Also, do realize that time and effort will be required in order to make the gift truly special.
For the Man Who Has Everything
Desserts, Gourmet Gift Baskets and World Famous Cookbooks
Deserts sound simple and common but they actually make memorable Christmas gifts. They may be obtained from Specialty stores online or they may be purchased from your own local chefs. A wide range of deserts options include cakes, pies, cupcakes, gourmet gift baskets, cookies and candies. One example of a great desert gift would be the Key Lime Pie offered by the online store Neiman Marcus.
High end chocolates sold by online retailers make great choices as well. DVD cookbooks written by world famous chefs are also nice and many men actually enjoy receiving cookbooks as a gift. In selecting a cookbook,do exercise judgment and select a book that would be appealing to the man.
Personalized Videos
“It’s a Wonderful Life” for instance. It is old and was originally produced in 1941. Today, it still stands as one of the best movies of all times and around Christmas time the movie is watched by millions over and over again. A great video can be a truly memorable gift.
In creating the video, do consider items that are important to the man. Would he appreciate receiving honor and appreciation or would he find a humorous video more enjoyable? Would he enjoy a video collection of his enjoyable trips or would he prefer having a showcase of his hobbies and important events? Would he treasure a video highlighting the life you’ve shared together or would he prefer a biography detailing his life from childhood to adulthood?
Be creative and also keep in mind that creation of a quality video worthy to serve as gift will often require creativity, time and effort. Useful information concerning personalized videos with music may be available at the website Animoto.
Gift Cards
Many people underestimate the value of Gift cards and often associate them with very low end stores. Gift card, however, have 
many great qualities and they can be found in all types of stores. Tiffany & Co, Giorgio Armani, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Microsoft and Apple all offer Gift Cards. Even some of the very high end designer stores like Gucci offer Gift Cards in few select stores. So, do not shun Gift cards and do consider them when finalizing your gift decisions.
Gift cards are especially useful in situations in which the man has made suggestions indicating that you should not purchase him a gift. His words should be considered or you could end up buying him a gift that he would never use. Use your own knowledge and judgment in determining if the man you are purchasing for would be appreciative of a card. Some men,(and people in general) are just appreciative of the small things in life. They can truly value and appreciate a $25.00 gift card from Starbucks from a person who gave it from the heart just as much as they can appreciate a million dollars from a millionaire.
