It is worth noting important points that people usually do not take into account:
- Age. The older a man becomes, the more he appreciates the approach and taste in the choice of gifts. Mature men respect care, attention, and comfort, while younger guys and men value status, appearance, and, of course, the cost of the gift;
- The level of your relationship. Close men can be given intimate, touching, romantic, and memorable things, and colleagues and friends more neutral or just useful;
- Hobbies and interests. Thematic gifts are always valued, the main thing is to know what a person is most interested in. The gift should be chosen based on the tastes and preferences of the birthday boy. Taste in books and movies, here everything is simple and clear enough. Do not give a working accessory or a tool, if you are not 100% sure of its choice and usefulness, then it is better to give a serious and versatile gift.
- Tastes in clothing and accessories. If you are not sure that the T-shirt you looked at, really like, then consult with a stylist.
- Your budget. If the money is not enough, the cost of the purchase can always be divided with someone from the family, relatives or friends of the birthday boy. But in case you are buying a gift yourself, there are not many options. Remember, it is better to present something of higher quality or more expensive than just throwing money away.
What else you should pay attention to when buying a gift:
- Do not buy gifts that may offend the birthday boy or make him feel indebted to you. For example, you should not give cognac to a man who has problems with alcohol. Just as it is not necessary to give a person a luxury item, if his regular income is a couple of zeros less than yours;
- It is better to give money according to etiquette to people close to you. If you do not know the person too well, he may consider such a gift as a "handout". But there are always exceptions to the rules. For example, if the person, though not the closest, is saving up for something, the money will be very necessary and appropriate;
- According to the rules of good manners on a birthday it is customary to give flowers. And men are not necessarily exceptions. A neutral bouquet is quite suitable for those who like fresh flowers. Just do not forget to unwrap it before you ring the doorbell of the birthday boy.
Otherwise, it is better to rely on the existing knowledge about a particular person. Draw ideas from the above options and try to put yourself in the person's shoes before you make your final choice. The more you know about the person, the better the gift will meet his needs and desires, and that means - make the man a little happier!
