Anniversary Ideas For Him
Men can be hard to buy presents for, and it may be especially difficult to come up with a gift that seems ideal for such an important day as your wedding anniversary. No need to fret, here are some unique, anniversary ideas for him — the man in your life — that just might be exactly what he’ll adore.
The Cook
For the guy who loves to cook, buy him a well-made kitchen gadget or appliance. Does he like to make bread? If so consider a heavy, stoneware, covered “cloche” so his artisan breads can be baked to perfection.
Is he a dessert maker? Try an electric ice cream maker so he can whip up creamy concoctions in a flash. For the guy who is known as the spaghetti sauce king, buy him a garlic rocker that will make quick work of peeling and mincing garlic cloves for his sauce or a chef’s mat to keep his legs from getting tired while he’s cooking.
The Fashion Plate
Some men can’t help it; they love the finer things in life. If your husband loves to wear quality clothing and accessories, consider buying him a cashmere sweater, scarf or even socks. Cashmere gives warmth and comfort in a luxurious classy style. Or treat him to a beautiful designer wallet made from soft-as-butter, bridle leather.
The Sports Nut
It’s not too difficult to find anniversary ideas for him, the guy who could spend 24 hours watching sports without a break. A couple of tickets to a professional sports game or even college game will surely please him. Maybe he’s still collecting sports cards, if so online auctions and sports stores sell a variety of cards that he can add to his cherished collection. An authentic team jersey or ball cap worn by his favorite team may also be the exact items to please your guy.
The Adventurer
If he loves to do the unusual and enjoys excitement, anniversary ideas for him should reflect his desire for a hint of danger and an adrenaline rush. Consider a plane or helicopter ride, a canoe trip or even set up sky-diving lessons so he can realize his dream of jumping from an airplane.
The Wine Connoisseur
A wine lover is easily pleased with the gift of a fine wine, tickets to a wine-tasting party, a trip to local wineries or any of the new gadgets that make drinking wine a pleasure. A battery operated wine opener, an “icicle” white-wine chiller or a beautiful decanter should make him very happy.
The Movie Buff
Maybe he stays up late watching movies or can recite the dialog of any film by the Coen brothers. If this sounds familiar to you, then anniversary ideas for him would be anything that relates to films. Many movie aficionados appreciate the back story on a film so think of books about movies also as a gift idea for the man you love.
The Book Worm
If he doesn’t own an e-book reader, then get your guy a Kindle, Nook or other popular e-reader so that he can download books in seconds and keep a whole library of reading materials with him at all times. Anniversary ideas for him, the man whose nose is always in a book, can also include clip book-lights and Amazon gift cards.
A thoughtful, special gift that is tailored to your man’s unique interests and hobbies will show him that you love him dearly and are glad you married him. It will also show him that you’ve paid attention to what he likes and love him for who he is.
