Birthday, Christmas, anniversary or just for fun? If you want to please a friend with a great gift and you're still a bit stumped as to what would make him happy, we can help you choose. We'll advise you on how to choose the perfect gift for the occasion and the nature of your loved one. No more sad looks at socks or shorts.
How to do it?
Listen and watch. And then ask yourself the following questions:
-
What does he talk about most often and what makes him happy?
-
What does he like to buy?
-
What amuses him?
Also, get clear on:
-
What is your budget?
-
How much time do you have left for the acquisition?
-
What occasion is the gift for?
-
Does he like surprises?
Tip for the end: do you have friends in common? Ask those with whom they share hobbies. That way you'll be sure to choose one that really suits his taste.
A tangible gift, an experience or a voucher?
Materialist, indulger, romantic or control freak? We'll help you choose the best gift tailored to his requirements.
Experience
A shirt, a bottle of wine or a perfume? He probably won't keep many memories of these gifts. Hedonic adaptation causes us to enjoy material gifts for only a short while. Then we just get used to them and take them naturally. But there's an emotion attached to the experience, so it sticks in the memory for a long time. They are also often associated with overcoming ourselves and become part of our identity.
What also plays in the experience's favour is that it's unlikely to be something you would commit yourself to, even if you really wanted it. It's not in many people's nature to spoil themselves. So it's your turn to show him that he's definitely worth spoiling. It's even been scientifically proven that experiential gifts spark a sense of happiness before he even lets himself go. And that's worth it, right?
Choose an experience to suit his personality type:

A trip together
But you can arrange the experience in other ways than with a voucher. What to take him on a joint trip? For an anniversary, prepare the place where you met, for a birthday, take him where he likes it. Or take inspiration from the internet. You can explore lots of tips for free places here.
Tangible gift
What gift to buy
Choosing a tangible gift is very individual. The easiest way is to listen to what they often talk about and arrange accordingly. A bookworm will appreciate a book by a favourite author that is still missing from his collection, a sportsman will appreciate a new piece of equipment. Don't be afraid to consult the internet or experts in the store to be on the safe side. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to mention an idea during a conversation and see how they take to it. He probably won't remember and you'll be sure you're going in the right direction.
How to make a gift
Do you have a creative spirit and know that your partner will appreciate such a personal gift? There's no need to limit yourself to a photo book with shared photos. You can also make him a homemade liqueur or create a T-shirt with his favourite motifs. Gourmets will be delighted with homemade pickled ermine or handmade chocolate truffles.
And what if you want something more personal and don't know how to make such a gift? We have a simple but even more effective tip for you. Give him a "happy jar" - a jar in which you put papers on which you write various shared memories or things you appreciate about him. And when he's not laughing, he'll reach into the jar for one of the papers and have a better day.
Voucher
Not everyone is thrilled with a surprise. There are guys who like to have it their way, so treat them to a gift too. A universal voucher for an experience of your choice is a safe bet. And if you're looking for a gift for a less action-packed partner, make him happy with a voucher to his favourite store. Just add a heartfelt message to the voucher, play a little with the wrapping and it'll be instantly more personal.
Already clear?
Already know whether you'll make him happy with a practical gift, an experience or both? A great gift doesn't have to cost thousands. What's more important is if it supports his interests or fulfills a need. Trust us, the best gifts are the ones that make him feel listened to and understood.
