There's nothing more challenging than surprising a man with the right kind of gift. Be it your enterprising dad, your stubborn best friend, or a dreamy guy you're craving to hold, all the manly figures in your life seem to desire nothing but a golden ticket to the next game. And they always get sold so fast.
A man's man is a real class act. You can recognize him by a neatly groomed jawline and a business suit that perfectly fits his husky frame. He's your mom's Gregory Peck, your aunt's Don Draper, and your own Ryan Gosling. Such a man insists that he needs no beauty hacks, but boasts a dandy's starter pack.
With his impeccable devil-may-care style in mind, we've compiled a list of 5 riveting presents for you to start checking off.
Something to Play With Beeropoly
Does he enjoy going out only if he's the center of attention? That must be hard work for him, given the amount of care he puts into looking effortlessly irresistible. Since dressing up tends to eat up too much of his time, your favorite guy chooses to spend his Fridays in the comfort of his own leather couch.
As a result, he ends up alone with a couple of his best friends and a couple of beers for everyone. Why not surprise them all with a game of Beeropoly then? A crossover between Monopoly and Game of Thrones drinking sprees, this exciting and boozy board game is everything he needs for his weekends.
Something to Soften Him Up: Beard Shampoo
Your guy is somebody that all women want and all men want to be, though you'll never hear him apologize for who he is. That's why nobody could force him to tame his lavish patch, not even you. Instead of trying to get him in shape, show your love for his carefree nature and get him some beard care products.
Beard shampoo is not only a scented addition to a dapper man's grooming kit - beard shampoo is something they all crave, but are too embarrassed to ask for. If he looks at you bewildered, just tell him to search online for tips and tricks on how to use beard shampoo. Beard used to be a mark of a weather-beaten sailor, too nonchalant to take care, but those days have long gone. Today's beards are a mark of the metrosexual man, one that spends time caring for his look.
Something to Seduce With: A Spice Kit
Sophisticated looks and indifferent demeanor aside, the signature mark of a man's man has always been his cooking prowess. He takes special pride in his Cajun chicken pasta, which he sautés wearing nothing but a Superman apron. Sound familiar? Well, it's one of those charms that no lady can resist.
Sure, he has his basil and Curcuma, but does he have that smashing new ingredient to season the evening with? From habanero onion reapers to chipotle salt to pineapple garlic, today's exquisite commercial culinary scene offers a myriad of exotic spices that no man's kitchen can afford to lack.
Something to Class Up his Act: Hip Flask
The idea behind this presentation is to make him look scrumptious while elevating his cool-unapproachability - which is quite the seductive recipe - so that his style screams class and ruggedness at the same time. What better way to accomplish this than with a cool hip flask? You can go for the vintage-looking with a leather-bound one, Flaskaholic suggests, or a more clean-cut one made of pewter or even sterling silver.
