Unfortunately, when it comes to gift buying, men sometimes get left behind. And I don’t think it’s because they always choose to be.
I find it difficult buying for the men in my life. The only joy I seem to have in finding a unique gift, is either asking them what they want or scouring the internet to find something suitable.
If you encounter the same problem when buying for the special man in your life, don’t worry! In this post, I have some suggestions, following my endless hours spent on the internet looking for the right gift.
It isn’t just mummies and the girls who need a spa day or a pamper session now and again. I’ve taken my hubby on many couples spa days in the past and we had a wonderful time. Running around after an energetic toddler in your 30’s isn’t much fun and the aches and pains are real.

Let’s unwrap some of these special items
Menkind
I’ve written about MenKind before. Simply because I love their quirky gifts and the fact you can buy something nobody else thinks to purchase. When you log onto the website, the gift sections are broken down into categories, which makes searching easier.
When searching for the perfect gift, I was instantly drawn to the Three Wise Stormtroopers. What an amazing, unique item. I can picture it on a display shelf in our house, along with the other quirky items we each have.
For a bit of luxury, why not check out the Deluxe Diamond Decanter Set? We’ve just had a lovely date night, a whole 24 hours away from the little one. A special item like this would be perfect for those moments. When you need to kick back, relax and enjoy some adult-only time together. This item is going on my wish list!
Next on the list had to be a gadget organiser. Surely EVERYONE loses the remote control? Try having a toddler in the house, especially one who loves hiding things. We lost the TV Control for about three months recently and then she went and pulled it out of a cupboard. A nifty Remote Control Caddy would solve some of my hubby’s first-world problems!

A relaxing break
It isn’t just mummies and the girls who need a spa day or a pamper session now and again. Why not treat the special man in your life? I’ve taken my hubby on many couples spa days in the past and we had a wonderful time. Running around after an energetic toddler in your 30’s isn’t much fun and the aches and pains are real.
Why not check out the amazing spa packages at Village Hotels? Click on the link below to book yourself a much-needed day out. Or if you’re feeling romantic, maybe a whole night away.
Weird Fish
Whenever we need a present for my Dad, this is the first brand we seek out. I love the design and quality of the T-shirts and so does he.
With his birthday coming up soon, I need to check out the current collection. Click on the link below to have a browse yourself.
ManoMano
I’ve just had a browse on this website and if the special man in your life requires some tools, look no further.
One of the ‘house goals’ my hubby has is to restore furniture in the garage, which we don’t yet currently have. I am bookmarking the relevant page for when we do have the space and funds to make his dream a reality. Hehe!
Final thoughts
I hope you enjoy reading my rundown of quirky, unique gifts for the special man in your life.

LOVED this post! I always find men so difficult to buy for, so this definitely gave me some great ideas. I’ve also stayed in a Village Hotel and I can confirm they are lovely 😍

They are so difficult to buy for. I’m glad you can vouch for Village hotels. I am in the process of trying to book another stay there, in a few weeks hopefully.
Yes, the special man in our life deserves something unique; and your gift ideas are great to choose from.
Thanks for sharing with us. xx
I agree they deserve something special! Glad you found the list helpful.
Thanks for the great gift ideas! I’ve bookmarked your post.
Fab, glad you like the ideas 🙂
These are amazing suggestions. It’s a bit sad that men get left behind, but hopefully, they can gift some of these. Thank you for sharing!
It is sad and I don’t like that society still thinks this way!
Thanks for sharing these ideas — they are definitely more interesting than the usual gifts I tend to think of, haha!
Because I literally spend hours searching for gifts, I thought I would share the shortlist.
Ooh great ideas! I definitely struggle a lot with buying for men, so this will be super helpful. I really love the sound of ManoMano, most of the men in my life love tools so that will be perfect for them! Thanks for sharing x
I love the sound of ManoMano and think I will always be checking them out for my dad!
This is a thoughtful post. You’re right, men are often forgotten. They are expected to be the gift givers and outside of a “World’s Best Dad,” or terrible tie, aren’t gift receivers. These are very thoughtful gifts. I know a man that LOVES his massages and would probably also love a full spa treatment. I also love the idea of bookmarking the page for the future renovation space. I would love to have one of those myself. So many great ideas in this post for the men in our lives.

Thank you. We should definitely make some time to look after the men in our lives. It makes me want to book us both a spa weekend now. But a toddler gets in the way of all that, haha!!
Oeh I love these ideas! It’s so difficult to find something sweet, but not too girly. These have the perfect balance!
Exactly. I love all of these ideas 🙂
It’s so hard getting gifts for men. Thanks for sharing so it’s not hard looking for what to buy
I totally agree, it’s so difficult!
