Fortunately for women everywhere, men are fairly easy to buy for. While it may appear that there's nothing they ‘need', you can rest assured that there's plenty they'll want and if you can get into their mindset then it's really not hard to find out what that is.

Essentially, guys no matter how old are still children and haven't really let go of their plans to be a race car driver, rock star, action hero, secret agent, adventurer, astronaut or sports star. Find which of these things your guy wants to be and then getting them the perfect present will become incredibly easy. There's also a good chance that your guy still thinks he is going to be all of these things.

This means that gifts for men fall into several categories. For the James Bond wannabe in your life any gadgets are cool, as are any drinking utensils, fine wines or vodkas or swarve clothes and accessories. For this kind of guy an after shave can make a great mid-range present in terms of price, as can organisers or watches.

For the sports star you know, gifts for men are also incredibly easy. Sporting merchandise is easy to come by and ...
... signed photos, models or appliances can make novelty gifts that are bound to appeal. Sporting events on DVD can also be a great gift, as can a season ticket if you want a new friend for life.

The explorers and astronauts among men meanwhile see themselves on the brink of new discoveries and venturing forth where no man has gone before. Books on the solar system or ancient civilisations are a sure fire hit with a certain type of man, especially if they're bound in leather and look kind of old and damaged. Similarly these adventurous types, if they're a bit more hands on, might enjoy binoculars, a tough rucksack, a pen knife or compass.

For the Rambos you know, weapons will make a great choice. Now bazookas and shotguns don't really make great gifts for men. However the one place where your guy can feel a bit like Rambo is in the kitchen where he can ‘slice and dice' to his heart's content. That's why most guys appreciate a knife, or better yet a knife set which they can learn to wield in the confines of the kitchen. Watch with glee as the recipient of your gift repeatedly quotes Crocodile Dundee (‘This is a knife!') and tries to look dramatic and brooding while sharpening their new weapon (best not to consider the other phallic aspect of the male psyche coming into play here). For something a bit different which they may not already own, a ceramic knife provides an affordable and unusual alternative to the metal variety that promise not to rust or corrode while remaining lighter and more nimble. The action hero variety may also still enjoy computer games and finding anyone to support that habit can normally be difficult. For rock stars the best choice of game however will obviously be Guitar Hero.
