Great Gifts For Guys

By Elba Fenwick


Sometimes finding a perfect gift can be a huge challenge. We always hope to find a gift that truly pleases the recipient, but fulfilling that goal definitely is not always easy. It often seems especially difficult to select a special gift for a guy, but here are a few unique items that most men probably would love to receive.

This is the time of year that we all love to indulge, particularly enjoying the many sweets of the season. A box of chocolates or a tin of gourmet cookies might be fine, but why not kick it up a notch and present your guy with man's favorite food - pizza. In this case, we are talking about gourmet chocolate pizza. Imagine his surprise when he unwraps his gift and uncovers a real pizza box and opens it to discover a rich, delectable chocolate pizza. You can purchase these from Chocolate Pizza Company, and there are several different styles of chocolate pizza to consider.

Chocolate Pizza Company creates pizzas with "crusts" made from dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate. The melted dark or milk chocolate is blended with English toffee and then toppings are added. This might be as simple as a delicate swish of white chocolate or it could be a topping of mixed nuts, M&Ms, Reese's Pieces or another topping. The white chocolate pizza crusts are a mix of dried cranberries, almonds and white chocolate. In addition to the chocolate pizza, consider purchasing a tub filled with Peanut Butter Wings, a delicious concoction created by mixing peanut butter and potato chips dipped in chocolate, either dark or milk chocolate.

While gourmet chocolate gifts always are a welcome treat, you can also opt for a non-food option. For example, why not purchase some cool gear for his bar? This might include a classy cocktail shaker and other mixology tools. Some cool beer mugs and bar glasses also can be included in this gift, as well as a high-end corkscrew or an aerator for wine. For a budding sommelier, there are even some amazing wine tasting kits out there with tiny glass bottles that hold aromas presents in many varieties of wine.

Cool gadgets have long been considered a great gift idea for men, so why not find some cool techie gear? For a programmer or computer engineer, a binary clock would be a cool, quirky gift displaying the time in binary numbers rather than regular numerals. Tablet and phone accessories are always a smart choice and there are tons on the market. A sports watch also can be cool and helpful if yourguy bikes, hikes or runs for exercise. Most include a distance calculator and calorie counter, but you could also get a watch that also features a GPS.

For the guy who seems to everything, give him an experience such as a hot air balloon ride or a trip in a fighter jet. You can rent racecars and zoom around a genuine racetrack or book a kayaking or jet-skiing adventure. If he loves to fish or perhaps hunt, there are excursions tailored to this interest, as well. Figure out what dream he has and then work to fulfill that dream.
