Gift Ideas for Men: Many Options

Coming up with gift ideas for men can be a daunting task for certain occasions and individuals.

Some men have narrow interests, so getting the right fit means eliminating a lot of very nice gifts.

Then match up the man of narrow interests with an occasion that requires something fairly specific and you have a double whammy!

But don't worry. We've got some answers for these and other troubling situations. Here's the deal. If you know a man's interests, you're half way home. If you know his passions, and gifts exist for them, you are much closer.

For example, Mark likes music, books and drama, and not much else. Gift ideas for him could include CDs, the latest bestseller, or tickets to the theater. But if you know that Mark is wild about a specific musician or author, then focusing on gifts linked to them will likely be greeted warmly.

Now, if a very special occasion is involved, that can alter the price range and the gift. Suppose it's Mark's 50th birthday. Pretty special for a lot of men! A CD might not be appropriate. However, a CD boxed set of his favorite singer just might be. Or the complete works of his favorite author. Or good seats at a concert you know he would enjoy.

Here's a few ideas for men with certain interests (perhaps these items will spark your own possibilities):

Outoors: Binoculars, spotting scope, raingear, gloves, headlamp, cookstove, cookware, sleeping bag, tent, watch, compass.

Playing Music: Training books or software, instrument stand

Computers: This is a danger zone. Be sure you know the level of sophistication and needs of a man with a computer interest, or you may waste your money and leave him unimpressed. But if you can account for those factors, equipment such as an external hard drive, speakers, or sophisticated mouse could be very welcome.

Photography: Video camera, tripod, lens, photography magazine subscription or book, gift certificate for printing photos, picture frame.

Travel: Small alarm clock, carry-on luggage, passport wallet.

Cooking: Quality chef's knife, food processor, blender, cutting board, cook book, magazine subscription.

Sports: Tickets to a game, book, magazine subscription, hat or jersey from favorite team, equipment that he doesn't have or needs upgrading.

Gardening: Gloves, kneepads, tools, books, magazine subscription.

Explore Many Men's Gift Possibilities

In our Best Men's Gifts Store, created in association with Amazon, we've assembled hundreds of possibilities covering a broad range of interests, tastes and prices, with a good fit for a vast number of occasions.

The store covers many categories, such as sports, watches, cameras, electronics, office gifts and gourmet food. As you view the gift categories, consider which one most accurately reflects the man's main interests or hobbies. Check that one out thoroughly of course, but don't stop there. Look for one or more secondary interests.

Sometimes satisfying a secondary interest can be the best choice. It might indicate to the recipient that you didn't necessarily go for the obvious choice, but dug a bit deeper to get the right gift.

So if any of these categories fit any of the recipient's interests and lend themselves to the occasion, it's just a matter of narrowing down to the specific gift.
