10 Gifts That The Guys In Your Life Would Actually Want

Ladies, gift shopping for guys is boring, who's with me? Unless you happen to like typical 'guy things' or if the guy in question likes typical girly things, it's tedious and challenging to find something that the men in our lives will like.

This might seem too practical to be a gift, but it's hard to beat the satisfying feeling of finally getting one's cords organised and living a slightly less stressful and frustrating life.

If the guy in your life doesn't have an organisation system for his cords, he'll be grateful to receive something like the Baseus Cable Organiser ($6.48) made of flexible silicone and in a sleek, minimalist design. It can hold cables vertically and horizontally and be pasted virtually anywhere from office tables to the car. No more bending down, untangling cords or taking forever to find the right cord - how wonderful!

#2 Charging station

This is another useful gift that unorganised guys will appreciate! Avid tech users will love the Kobwa Charging Station Organiser ($16.02) with room to charge four devices and even an Apple watch.

This charging station has an extra plus if the receiver of your gift is environmentally conscious as it's made of 100% natural bamboo wood.

#3 Packing cubes & organisers

Sensing a trend here? Organisers are a useful gift that will actually make a positive difference in the recipient's life. His travel experience will be more pleasant when he spends less time packing, unpacking or finding things thanks to an efficient packing system.

The Eagle Creek Pack-It Specter Starter Set in Cali Hiero ($83) is a high quality choice to help compress clothing and optimise space while minimising wrinkles.

#4 Wireless charger

It's nice not to have to deal with wires, so get the guy in your life a wireless charger so he can experience that sweet feeling of freedom! Popular choices are the Samsung Wireless Charger Stand ($59.99) and the Apple Mophie Wireless Charging Stand ($109).

#5 Kindle

Book lovers will like being able to read any book while on the go with just one Kindle! The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite ($205.53) is a thin and lightweight option with a sleek, modern design.

#6 Wireless earphones

If the guy you're gift shopping for doesn't have wireless earphones yet, they need one ASAP!

The sleek Jabra Elite Active 65t ($295) is a great choice for a guy who works out regularly as it's designed to fit securely and has a 2-year warranty against sweat and dust.

#7 Drone

If you're willing to splurge on the special guy in your life, why not get them a drone? Whether he's young or young at heart, most guys will have a blast flying a drone around and taking dramatic videos. Take note of drone laws and restricted areas to avoid any disaster situations!

The foldable DJI Mavic Air Drone ($1,299) is a popular choice amongst drone enthusiasts for its small size and ability to do a range of tricks!

#8 DSLR

Notice an interest in photography from the man in your life? Show your support for his hobbies when you gift him a professional camera!

The Nikon D3500 ($649) is a basic and affordable option for first-time users that still has a stellar performance and solid image quality.

#9 Luxury hand wash

We would recommend something like cologne, facial cleanser or shaving cream, but a lot of guys have preferences about what they like or may not even use them at all! Hand soap, however, is something that all guys will use. Treat the guy in your life to a luxury hand wash that he wouldn't usually buy for himself!

The Aesop Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash ($53) has unorthodox woody and smoky aroma with botanical extracts and finely milled Pumice that will leave his hands feeling refreshed and pampered with every wash.

#10 An experience

We know those people, the ones who criticise the materialistic state of our society and complain about how Christmas has been soiled by consumerism. To be fair, their concerns are more than valid.

Some gifts that they'll love are things that won't clutter their home or eventually join the trash landfill in Pulau Semakau, like for instance, experiences! Anything goes from a massage; tickets to a play, musical or sports game; sports like zip lining or rock climbing; laser tag; escape rooms; a day out ice skating - the list goes on!

If you're living with a guy who does most of the household chores (first of all lucky you!), a cute and meaningful gift they'll appreciate is something like a set of handmade vouchers that offer things like you doing all the dish-washing or all the laundry for a day. You can also use this idea for multiple activities mentioned in the previous paragraph. He can redeem his voucher on the day you gift them or save it for another day when the mood strikes!
