Gift ideas for men
Good gifts for men are a perfume from a house he knows, a box of chocolate or sweets to open with his coffee, and flowers that reach his office at a moment he does not expect. The rule: men are pleased by what they use, what they eat, or what surprises them, and rarely by what decorates. These gifts for him are grouped by what suits each man in your life: husband, father, brother, colleague. Perfume, sweets or flowers: unsure which he prefers? On Haddiyah he picks one of the 2 to 8 you set out, never sees a price, and sets home or office in Riyadh and Jeddah.
Men's perfumes
The first gift for men is perfume: fresh for work such as Bleu de Chanel, Sauvage and Terre d'Hermès, or warm for occasions such as Oud Wood by Tom Ford and The One. Choose from his favourite house. See perfumes.
Chocolate and sweets with the coffee
The gift opened right away: a box of chocolate, baklava or petit fours he serves with his coffee or shares at the office. See chocolate and sweets.
Flowers delivered to his office
Flowers for men work when they are unexpected: a dark bouquet or a simple vase reaching his desk in the morning in front of colleagues. See gifts for him.
On his birthday: cake
A birthday gift is a cake in his flavour, with balloons if the party is at home, or chocolate if his day falls at work. See birthday gifts for him.
By the man: husband, father, brother, colleague
Each man has his angle: a husband is pleased by a surprise at work, a father by something for his majlis, a brother by a cake and a joke on the card, a colleague by chocolate for the department. There are pages for each: gifts for husbands, for fathers, and for colleagues.
International Men's Day, 19 November
International Men's Day falls on 19 November every year. Some people around the world mark it, and it is not an official occasion in Saudi Arabia. If you want to use it to thank your husband, father or brother, a light gift is enough, such as a perfume from his favourite brand or a box of chocolate to open with his coffee. See gifts for him.
Before you send
- The right men's perfume is an edition of the one he wears. If you are unsure, shortlist two and the choice is his.
- Flowers for men mean a dark bouquet or a simple vase, delivered to the office rather than home.
- Men do not write wish lists, so make the gift visible: something opened and used the same day.
- Not sure what he wants? Shortlist a few from one budget and hand him the decision; the link hides the prices.
- In winter, see winter gifts for oud and amber perfumes.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best gift for a man?
Perfume, from a house he knows: worn every morning, and it recalls you. Then chocolate and sweets, then cake for a birthday.
Do men like receiving flowers?
They do when the flowers reach the office in a dark colour and a simple arrangement. Men rarely receive flowers, which is why they remember them.
What if I have no idea what he likes?
Pick two or three perfumes and a chocolate from one level and let him choose the favourite from the link. He sees them without prices. See let them choose.
How soon does it reach him?
Perfume, chocolate, flowers and cake all go out that evening when it is one gift and he has set the location before 4 pm. Some gifts need longer to prepare. The time is on each gift page.
