What Gift To Get For Men: Nightshirts?
No matter what gift I get him, my husband ALWAYS returns it. So imagine my surprise when last Christmas I finally found a gift he would keep! Now, I am sure I have your attention. What was the magical gift? It was a men’s night shirt and mens sweater.
An hard feat was thinking about this gift.I have tried almost everything idea trying to get him a gift, I even looked through tons of online clothing catalogs, have tried buying him electornics, sports gear, fishing gear.. He has rejected all of them, telling me that I either spent too much money, or that I what I had gotten him was something he could never find a use for. I had almost given up on ever giving him another gift, but then saw this nightshirt on a recent shopping trip and figured it might actually be something he wanted.
I’ll admit when he opened it, he took one look, and said, “Honey, this shirt is way to long for me.” But once I explained that it was a mens nightshirt, and told him how he could walk around in it without pants, he was all for it.
What I’ve gleaned from my years of flawed male gift-giving is the following:
• Men love practical gifts and mens sweater
comfort is what men love.
Men don’t like things they can look at they love things they can use.
• Men like to pick out their own dress shirts; it makes them feel like adults.
• Men like things they need; if they do not need it, it is a “frivolous waste of hard earned money”.
• The fact that it is your hard earned money and that you are happy to frivolously waste it will not help your case. Trust me, I’ve tried.
• Men like tools.
• To them this does not count as frivolous. Never point out that these tools inevitably cause your man to work on the house, which inevitably causes you to reach out to a local plumber or handy man to work on the damage your man has caused.
• Men like things for their cars.
Not lumped up in the gift card category are carwash coupons which are acceptable.
Incorporating their favorite sporting team are what men like.
• I would say clothing with team emblems, as well as sporting event tickets, or the ESPN TV sports package are all fair game
• Men dislike jewelry.
gift cards are what men dislike.
• To a man a gift card is a woman’s sneaky way of trying to get a man to go shopping on his own volition.
•(So I’ve been told.)
• Men like all electronics with the exception of a GPS. A GPS undermines their sense of direction (regardless of how many times your man has led you and your family astray on the road.)
If you want to give a good gift for the men in your life, mens nightshirts are a great option.Our son got a nightshirt as well which was given to him by his father becasue he loved his nightshirt so much!
