Christmas Gifts for Men

I am a great believer in family traditions. They give out a postive expectation every year of an event happening. In our family we have a lot of traditions associated with Christmas; like stringing the tree with popcorn on Christmas Eve, eggnog the night before and turkey for lunch. I have used the family traditions from my childhood and re-created these experiences with our children.

Although I have great memories of my Christmas my husband didn't. My father-in-law was an alcoholic that often drank too much during the Christmas season. I wanted to help my husband create happy memories of Christmas, not only with gifts, also through the decorations we did and the meals we had.

Choosing Christmas gifts for men always seem more difficult for me to think of than with women. When I buy for a woman I can choose from accessories and beauty products that men don't seem to use. To help me choose my gifts I decided to enlist my husband's best friend. They have the same interests and tastes so I trusted his judgment to help me choose a Christmas gift for the man in my life.

I realized that my friend had some great ideas for Christmas gifts for men. He said that as opposed to women, men like getting practical and useful things as gifts. Women generally prefer something that they want rather than what they need. I know I wouldn't be happy if my husband bought me a new iron for Christmas but I would like the new brand of perfume on the market!

As part of my Christmas day plan I wanted to have personalised Christmas stockings hung over the fireplace just like when I was a kid. My friend suggested that for the stocking stuffers for the stocking I also think of practical fillers. His suggestions were giving gas cards, certificates from the coffee house, and tokens from the newsstand. It would not have occurred to me to look at these things as Christmas gifts for men. He did convince me that it was great to not have to use cash for these things and that receiving them would be a real treat for him.

I really enjoyed this insight that my friend gave me as to the type of Christmas gifts for men that are appreciated and welcomed. Hopefully, my husband really likes his stocking stuffed with every token imaginable and this will be the start of a new tradition for us.

Here's some of my ideas for stocking fillers for my hubby....
