Buying the perfect gift for the man in their life can be the eternal question for many women who perennially get it wrong. Most women either play it safe or go for the truly bizarre; few get it exactly right and for many their gift never really creates the impact that they want.

There is thinking out there however that seems to suggest that women try far too hard to please their men in the present giving department and that there are some very basic rules that women can choose to follow when buying gifts for men.

Something cordless and easy to use like a drill for example is always popular, or something more heavy duty like a mower or chainsaw; anything to make the weekly gardening chores easier, more streamlined and fun. Or how about something for their pride and joy, the car? These days personalised gifts for cars can be found at car dealerships everywhere and across the internet. There is always the latest in TV remote controls. Some of these have small screens in the corner now which will keep a man enthralled for hours. If feeling very generous, buy them a barbecue. Again barbecuing like gardening is traditionally the male preserve, or perhaps some tickets to a high profile football match?

There are also some don’ts too. Don’t buy socks, ties or bathrobes. Nothing says more about a man’s age and how he is regarded by his longterm spouse or girlfriend buying these everyday items of clothing for what should be a special occasion. Also don’t buy him anything that takes ages to put together. Birthday presents should be spontaneous and fun, not hard work.

We at Henry Tibbs have a vast selection of luxury gifts for men that will ensure immediate pleasure and practical usage for many years to come.
