This has remained our surefire formula for recommending gifts to customers’ loved ones. Checking this list will give you a clearer picture of which items to select (and which to avoid). 

1. What does he like right now? Think about his favorite activities, like cooking on the grill, collecting watches, or going on hikes. These can give you great ideas for gifts. 

2. Has he dropped any hints?: If he casually mentions needing a new cologne or that his watch is old, that’s his way of saying, “Hey, I’d love this!”

3. Does he want something to use or something special? Figure out if he’d prefer a cool gadget he can use every day or a special item that reminds him of a good time. This can help you decide.

4. Do you have a special memory together? An anniversary gift for your husband is a thoughtful way to choose a present that not only impresses him but also reminds him of your special bond. 

Fun activities create shared memories with your husband, spark joy, and show that you’ve thought about him.

Start by asking yourself: What makes him feel most alive? Is he the laid-back type who’d love a private wine tasting or spa day? Or does he crave adrenaline, maybe a race car driving session or flying lesson? 

Even something as simple as booking a weekend escape, a surprise date night, or trying a cooking class together can turn into a cherished moment.

Think about what he’s always wanted to try but never got around to. Has he mentioned missing live music, wanting to learn a new skill, or just needing a break from the usual routine? Choose something that aligns with his vibe.
