Whether you're shopping for your father, brother, significant other or just a close friend, it can sometimes be a challenge to buy thoughtful gifts for the different men in your life. Of course the occasion for the gift plays an important role as well and can add to the significance of your present. For instance, a college graduation gift for your nephew can be thoughtful but will no doubt differ in tone from the Christmas gift you'll buy for your husband. Regardless of the reason or recipient, a host of thoughtful gift opportunities for men still exists.
Family Heirloom
Some men retain possession of prized family heirlooms, like a pocket watch, for example. One of the most thoughtful presents you could ever give would be to restore said heirloom, thus ensuring its longevity and its continued presence in the recipient's family.
Cologne
Working fathers may be just like mothers--they don't always take the time or effort to pamper themselves. Men embarking on a special occasion, such as a night out on the town, may appreciate a bottle of cologne as that added bit of dress-up flair.
Briefcase
A briefcase serves as a thoughtful gift, particularly for young men fresh out of school or for those who are just starting their careers. As an added personal touch, you can even have their initials monogrammed on the briefcase.
Favorite Book
Of course most people already own a copy of their favorite book, but most don't have a first edition or a leather-bound copy. Although such a gift may require an extra bit of leg work, it's that sort of effort that can make a gift truly thoughtful.
Tickets
Some men are grateful when the women in their lives at least try to appreciate their interests. Turn that theory into a gift by buying tickets for your husband's favorite sports team so that you can share that experience together.
Cuff Links
Men who need to dress to impress, particularly when related to work, should own a pair of elegant cuff links. Silver trimmed or monogrammed cuff links serve are a thoughtful gift for men concerned about their personal appearance.
Business Card Case
Career oriented individuals pass out and receive more than their fair share of business cards. As a result, a fine item like an elegant silver business card carrying case can come in handy quite often.
Cigars
Bonding over cigars and fine liquor remains a time-honored tradition amongst some men. Quality cigars can be difficult to come by though and, therefore, are often viewed as very thoughtful gifts.
