How many times have you heard women say men are so hard to buy gifts for? How often have you sat and thought about what special gift you should buy your husband? Well you are not alone, that is something many women struggle with, and there are some very clear reasons for guying gifts for men is difficult.
1. Men do not like to make lists and men seldom voluntarily to help you build a Christmas or birthday gift list. Women on the other side will find it easy to fill an entire page of gift ideas. This obviously makes buying gifts for women Easy and harder for men.
2. If you ask a man what he wants for birthday or Christmas, and you get an answer, all they want and are asking is typically out of budget.
3. Men have a tendency to be critical, and it makes you afraid that you will buy the wrong things. Women value the thought behind the gift, while men tend to primarily assess how useful the real gift may be.
4. Men often say stupid comments like: "Oh, do not worry, you do not get me anything". This type of reaction is not quite helpful and makes the whole gift buying experience difficult.
5. Women have a tendency to overcomplicate things, they give gifts to buy too much about, when in fact most men would be happy with a simple gift.
6. Women tend to have 10 handbags, 10 pairs of shoes, while men typically have only one of each item. This limits the possibilities to buy more of similar gifts.
7. Just because women do not like being given gifts of power cables or gifts that require plugging in does not mean men are not happy with these gifts. Women often exclude technical subjects as gifts.
8. Men are lazy, they say things like, 'Just get me socks,' when in fact they often have lots of socks stuffed in their drawers. Asks a man for proposals are often meaningless.
9. Women often do not understand women and their enthusiasm for the latest gadgets. Just because women may not like gadgets that does not mean a man will not. But you must beware of the device compatibility, if the man you are buying for a geek.
10. Men never know what they want until they see it. Men do not have the fantasy that women have. Women are able to find gifts and gift ideas from the comfy on their sofa.
Now we know why men are hard to buy gifts for, we need to come up with a solution. My suggestion is to ignore what they say and not ask for advice. Resist telling them you are having trouble buying them.
The best gift ideas are often found online, and experience has shown that men are most happy when they get a fun gift that is a gadget and can be used around the home, garden or outdoor.
