In a relationship, it is expected to be confused about gifting ideas. There are so many affordable gifts that can be thoughtful to impress your partner.
A user asked the forum, “What are some inexpensive but awesome birthday gifts for men?” Here are the common responses.
ACTIVITIES
“Activities. Do something they enjoy doing, like watching the game or shooting pool. Don’t buy him something. Make it a memorable day.”
LEATHERMAN TOOL
“Leatherman tool. Jeweller’s screwdriver kit. Personalized flash drives.”
A COMPACT DISC (CD) OF SONGS
“Go old school & make him a mix CD of songs that remind you of him or your relationship.”
GOOD SHAVING KIT
“A good shaving kit. Safety razor, brush, stand, and soap bowl. Not terribly expensive but will last a long time.”
LIQUOR
“Liquor. A good bottle of bourbon can be had for $30-40 and lasts a long time (unless you drink like me!).”
A MACHETE
“A machete. I want one, and my wife knows it. I want to hack down the brush and other obstacles with a machete.”
A NAP
“A nap. Just leave him alone for a few hours. Also, leave him be the next time he goes to take a nap.”
BLUETOOTH HEADSETS
“Bluetooth headsets appropriate for whatever activities he’s into.”
GOOD FLASHLIGHT
“Something I haven’t seen mentioned here yet, a really good flashlight. It doesn’t even have to be a gift for a guy.
You would be surprised how many people don’t have at least one super bright Light-Emitting Diode (LED) flashlight in their home or car.”
A CAST IRON SKILLET
“How about a cast iron skillet or carbon steel pan? Good ones are relatively cheap and great to cook steaks with.”
REMOTE CONTROL HELICOPTER
“Remote control helicopter, those small ones that are like $25-$30. My brother gets me them for Christmas sometimes. They break eventually, but they sure are fun.”
TINY PHONE POWERED FAN
“I just got my husband a tiny phone-powered fan for $1-2 on eBay (we have a $10 limit on presents unless they are experiential).
He gets hot in the summer. It was a joke gift, but he loves it, and it does work.
There are a bunch on eBay; search for ‘USB mini fan phone,’ and a bunch should pop up.”
GRILLING COOKBOOK
“A grilling cookbook, camo apron, and a slab of ribs.”
FAST FOOD TOUR OF TOWN
“Fast food tour of town, dine-in, all-you-can-eat value menu. Cash only, so no evidence.”
VIDEO GAMES
“Does he like video games? It’s my boyfriend’s birthday, and he loves Fallout and Skyrim, so I got armored Funko figures from those cool games.”
DISC GOLF DISC
“Disc golf disc. Twenty bucks or less for a driver, and most courses are free (local county park type course). Easy to get started and great outdoor fun.”
HUMPHREY’S HANDMADE
“Humphrey’s Handmade. They make soap, washes, cologones, lip balms, and beard oils with funny names.”
GOOD FOUNTAIN PENS
“There are some good fountain pens under $20.”
LEGO
“Lego. Not the pricey new stuff on the shelf at WalMart, but used collections on Craigslist or eBay.
You might get lucky at a box store and find a clearance set, but most guys want a bucket of bricks to build with.”
PERSONALIZED GIFTS
“It’s not the cheapest, but consider getting something personalized like mugs, a phone case, etc.
Use a favorite picture or saying so that it’s meaningful. I gave my significant other a phone case with a picture of us years ago, and they still love it.”
