NOTE: I meant to post this weeks ago. Even if this is too late for this Christmas, it’s still useful for other occasions, like birthdays, Fathers Day, etc.
While this is written from my perspective, it can work for the man in your life who is a husband and father, especially if he’s your husband or your father.
The best gifts for me as a husband and dad are, in no particular order:
1. Experiences I don’t have to plan, will enjoy, and don’t require I be constantly looking after someone. Maybe it a tour of a place he’ll enjoy? Maybe a getaway? A meal at a special place? A cruise? A sporting event or concert?
2. “Homemade.” This can be anything from artwork to food/treat; something you have reason to believe I’ll enjoy. Custom ties, socks, undershirts, etc. can fulfill this. Something with the personal touch from the wife and/or kids.
3. Something I’ll enjoy/use but wouldn’t indulge myself by buying because I have responsibilities to my family.
Especially as a sole income earner, stuff I can and usually will buy for myself isn’t as good.
“Giving” your husband something sexual you used to do with him but stopped and only will do as a special occasion gift is insulting. You should be doing it anyway, if you can.
Conversely, if there’s something he’s wanted but you’ve never done with/for him before, initiating it as a gift can be great.
