Gift Ideas for Men Based on their Personality

Updated on February 17, 2011

Gift Ideas For Men

That special day is only a few weeks away ….and you have no idea what to get that certain man in your life. Is he the sporty type, the gamer, the geek, or possibly, the stylish, GQ-type? Whatever category he falls into, you want to make sure to buy a gift that says 1) I know you inside and out and 2) I spent time and effort trying to find you the right gift.

So, here are a few suggestions:

The Sporty Guy

If your man is a die-hard football fan, then he will love you even more if you buy him jewelry featuring his favorite sport’s team. My husband is a Dallas Cowboy fan and I recently bought him a Cowboy’s watch from Fossil. He absolutely loves it and shows it off to everyone, even if his Cowboys didn’t get too far this year. The best thing is that Fossil has a watch design for every NFL team.

The Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells are awesome for the guy who loves to work out. Plus, it has a double benefit. He will get all buff and toned, while you no longer have to trip over the dumbbells that he leaves scattered around in the garage. Just think of all those gorgeous muscles....

The Gamer

Maybe your guy needs to unwind after a hard day at work. What can be better than launching missiles, dropping grenades on your enemies, and equipping your avatar with awesome weapons? Sounds like your guy needs the latest Call of Duty game for his gaming console. You can't go wrong with this gift.

An accessory for his gaming console is another great gift idea for this playful guy. Perhaps, he has been eyeing that new PS3 controller? Give him a new way to enjoy his games...without the hand cramps.


The Stylish Guy

Ok, we all know this type. You know, the kind that spends more time in front of the mirror than his girlfriend does. The following are some good picks for your GQ guy:

Check out the new Kenneth Cole New York Mens Long Herringbone Coat. Honestly, what guy doesn't look good in this coat. It’s freakin' hot!!

Or maybe you want to opt for the Oakley Men's Flak Jacket XLJ Polished Sunglasses. Not only will he look super sexy in these, but they'll actually protect his eyes. Stylish and beneficial...sounds good to me.

The Geek

This is the guy who is always fiddling with his computer or hacking his way into yet another website. Technology is at the top of this man's list of priorities.

So, why not get him a top of the line laptop? The new, Compaq Presario CQ62-410US 15.6-Inch Notebook is a wonderful choice.

If reading is his thing, how about a Kindle? I just bought one for my husband and he loves it. We crammed it with lots of books and now, he always has something to read, no matter where we go. The internet on the latest Kindle version works really well (much better than the 2nd generation Kindle, which I own).
