[You still have time!] Here's how to choose a Christmas present for your boyfriend or husband.
Hello! I'm the HushTug musician.
Next week is finally Christmas.
When you walk outside, the city is decorated with lights and the whole place is instantly filled with a Christmas atmosphere.
This time, we will introduce how to choose a Christmas present that a man would be happy to receive from a woman, and some recommended presents .
If you're still having trouble deciding on a gift, I hope this will serve as a reference.
What should I give my boyfriend/husband for Christmas?
Many people probably think, "I want to give my boyfriend or husband a gift that will make him happy, but I don't know what to give him."
There are a few points to consider when choosing a gift.
I hope these points will be helpful when choosing gifts in the future.
1. Highly practical items that can be used every day
Men tend to prefer more practical things than women.
For example, ties and business card holders that can be used in business situations, scarves and accessories that can be used privately, etc. are more likely to be appreciated than fashionable accessories.
Choose things you can use every day rather than things you receive but don't know how to use!
2. Gifts that match the recipient's hobbies
It may be a good idea to choose an item related to a hobby that interests the recipient.
Hobbies are the easiest way to tell what someone likes, and are the ones that are most likely to make them happy.
However, if you are very particular or don't know the other person's hobbies very well, choosing a gift as a surprise could actually be a disappointment.
If you are thinking of buying a hobby-related item, we recommend going to choose a gift together rather than making it a surprise.
3. A slightly luxurious item that you wouldn't normally choose
Although this isn't true for all men, men tend to wear monochromatic clothing, accessories, and other items on a daily basis.
This is true for me too, but I've noticed that the clothes I always buy are usually dark colors like navy blue or black.
If you give a gift in a color or design that would look good on a woman, it will be different from what she is used to and will make a lasting impression and she will be pleased.
Find out what they usually wear and what their preferences are, and give them something a little different!
5 recommended gifts for your boyfriend or husband
So far, I have written about how to choose a gift for your boyfriend or husband.
Next, we will introduce some recommended items based on the gift selection method introduced earlier.
Here we will introduce the general categories of items, so please use this as a reference when looking for colors and designs that suit the recipient!
muffler
It is a classic Christmas gift item that is both practical and easy to create a sense of specialness.
This is a gift that is easy to make unique with its design, color, and material as it is something that will be used every day during the winter season.
It might be a good idea to think about what you usually wear and choose a color and design that suits you.
wallet
This is also a highly practical item.
Minimalist wallets have become popular recently, and more and more people are carrying compact L-shaped zipper wallets.
They are quite expensive, costing around 20,000 to 30,000 yen, so they are recommended as a luxurious gift that will make someone feel special.
Alcohol
This is a surprisingly nice gift for those who like alcohol, although it is limited edition.
Especially with people spending more time at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, it seems like more people are having drinks in the evenings, so it might be a good idea to choose a nicer drink than you normally would.
It is also recommended for those celebrating Christmas at home, as you will be able to share time together, which will help you grow closer and create special memories.
Personally, I think it would be great if the set also came with snacks.
Experiences (travel and dining)
If you're looking to create a special, memorable gift that's different from usual, we also recommend an experience gift that the two of you can enjoy together.
The catalogue format allows you to choose from a variety of categories, including crafts, activities and relaxation.
You'll be excited by the extraordinary experience that you normally wouldn't have.
Rather than these physical objects, why not give a gift of something different - an experience?
Leather Bags
When you think of bags, there are so many different types that you might not know what to choose, so why not narrow it down to leather bags?
For everyday use, I choose a functional bag that is easy to use, but deep down I'd like to have something more proper soon.
A leather bag that can be used both at work and on holidays will be highly practical and will be well received.
Something unusual is nice, but it might be a good idea to give something in a calm color that evokes the image of a mature man.
A gift that conveys your feelings
