Hunting for birthday gifts for your man can be real task. Guys don’t tend to get attracted to cute stuff like girls do.

If you gift him a love quote frame or a bunch of flowers, chances are that it won’t make much of an impression in his mind, even if he loves the effort you put into buying something nice.

One thing I should tell you is that Men are “practical”. They always see “How can I use it?” or “What’s in it for me?” in anything you give him.

The gifts you give him should be either:

• An expression of your love (Eg: A poem)
• A Practical and functional item (Eg: headphones)
• Something that matches his taste (Eg: A unique cook book for someone who loves cooking)
• Anything Personalised (Eg: A collage frame with photos of you and him)

 

Write him a letter:

Nothing beats out the tradition of pouring your heart out on a paper. Make him feel unique. Quote your special moments.

And for heaven’s sake, No printouts, please. Write it yourself. Some Birthday letters you can take an inspiration from:

Forget his birthday

The Day before: Call up his best friends and invite them over for a surprise party. Invite your close family members or in-laws if your husband is a family man. You can also ask your best friend to bring some food and drinks along with them, which you can pay her/him later.

On the B’Day: Pretend that you forgot his birthday. Don’t wish him. Don’t cook anything special. Carry on as usual. When he feels disappointed, give him a surprise him with your get-together party plan.

Treasure hunt: 

A treasure hunt can be a fun way to set the mood and curiosity in your spouse, especially when you have a big gift waiting for him. Make sure he is free when you start your treasure hunt. Also make your clues visible. You don’t want him searching all over the place for the clue note which is almost invisible.

Start by sending him a message or a note saying:

1. “How about going on a treasure hunt? Get your first clue in your closet.”
2. Clue: 1 “No way! Go to the drawer in the 2^nd bedroom.”
3. Clue: 2 “Well… well… well… you have made it so far, how about the kitchen rack/dishwasher?”
4. Clue: 3 “Bathroom mirror, please: D”
5. Clue: 4 “Almost there… Run to the Garage.”
6. Clue: 5 “Yes, you have guessed it right. It’s in the car! Happy birthday, my love! Have great fun”.

He is sure to remember your effort and appreciate you for it!!

Surprise in bed:

This would be the best birthday present for a man. At 12 o clock in the night or in the early morning when he’s in bed, spice up things by slowly teasing him.

Wish him a happy birthday when is semi-conscious and the next thing to do is: Have sex. You have to take the initiative instead of letting him do all the hard work. It’s his turn to lie down and enjoy. Best way to start a birthday.

Hire an artist and get a painting/cartoon of him drawn. It can be one of the gifts you can give him for the day. You can find some artists for a low price at Fiverr.
