5 Great Christmas Gifts For Men

Everyone needs a little help from a friend when it comes to choosing Christmas gifts. Now let's move on. I like to give real useful gifts and I take it so do you. For that man in your life, who is near and dear to your heart, or for that man who is a faithful friend, or for your Dad you want to make sure that the gift is well received. Below is what I think would make some great gifts for men.

1. If your man has a little more body fat than when you met him, don't get mad, get him healthy by getting him a subscription to a health magazine. There's a catch, you have to read it with him and help him implement some of the health ideas the both of you read in the magazine. Just don't hand him a card telling him that you got him the subscription, but have a copy of the health magazine, with a bow on it, and present it to him.

• To encourage him to read the subscription, offer to cook some of the recipes, if any, that are in the magazine.
• Present it to him with a recipe out of the magazine already prepared for him.

2. Is your man's car a hot mess inside and out, even if it's not, a great gift would be a gift card to have his vehicle detailed - I would love this myself. Purchase the gift card from an upscale car detailing establishment. You may choose two options:

• Have your man take his car to the detail shop.
• Purchase a car detail gift card where the shop comes to him.

3. If you don't have room in your house for a Man Cave, then make a Man Corner with a refrigerator, cups, napkins, etc. This mini refrigerator will make a great gift. It's small, compact, and won't get in the way. Choose his favorite color, stock it, and put a bow on it. If he wishes, he can take the mini refrigerator and make a Man Corner in his office at work.

4. Does your man enjoy the game of Golf, but needs a little more practice before getting out on the actual green? Get him a Virtual Golf membership or several Virtual Golf outings. Heck! To entice him, get a Virtual Golf membership for both of you. There are also Golf Simulators that can fit into a reasonably size room.

5. This Christmas gift is a wonderful surprise to those whose dry cleaning bill has run a muck. Purchase him a gift card for $50 worth of dry cleaning or however much you want to spend.

Get to know where he takes his clothes to be dry cleaned and purchase a gift card at that dry cleaners.
