How to Shop For a Man

Any man in your life can appreciate a great gift. Whether you are buying him a present for his birthday or for the holidays, there are signs men give when they want a particular item. Though you may think you know what he wants, find out how to get him the gift he won't return.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Know who you're shopping for. If you need to buy a boyfriend a gift, pay attention to little things he mentions throughout the year. For instance, if you see a Martin Scorsese film and he cannot stop talking about it, why not buy him a DVD set of the director's best.
2. If you need to buy a gift for a male friend, you don't have to get too personal. A popular gift for guys is a gift certificate to an online superstore like Amazon or eBay, which will let him pick out his own products.
3. Try to shop for gifts according to what he says. Most men are pretty direct with their likes and dislikes, making your job a whole lot easier.
4. Go for sports memorabilia. Most any guy you encounter has a favorite sport, be it golf or football. Tickets to a game, a jersey, or a DVD of Olympic highlights are great gifts.
5. Buy him time with you. For your husband or significant other's birthday, a perfect present is a weekend getaway with none other than you. Not only will he get a vacation, you'll get that extra time to spend together.
6. Consider purchasing him a magazine subscription. If your man loves to travel or is a CEO of a company, give him a gift subscription to a magazine matching his interests.

Tips & Warnings

• Always include a gift receipt if possible, just in case.
• Include a card with your present. Any special guy in your life wants to hear he is appreciated.
• Don't be upset if he returns your gift or says it's not what he wanted. At least you'll have a better idea for next year!
• Don't wait until the last minute. Prior planning will show when the guy in your life realizes you put time, effort, and thought into your gift purchase.
