Discover the gift of knowing what gift to give
What man doesn’t get stumped sometimes when it comes to buying a special gift? Here are some winning ideas from Man Skills: A Training Manual for Men, by Nick Harper.
1.
An album of special photos. An old-fashioned mix CD of favorite songs
or some hard-to-find, cherished book from childhood will also score
highly.
2.
A home-made “voucher” of some kind—whether it’s for a
no-expenses-spared dinner for two followed by a night in a trendy
boutique hotel, or a simple “I promise to babysit, shop, clean, cook,
wash up and wait on you for a whole weekend so you can put your feet
up.”
3.
Any luxury item they would never normally justify blowing a large wad of cash
on—a silk scarf, a hand-stitched, leather-bound notebook, or even a
selection of really good-quality chocolates from a proper chocolatier.
4.
An unusual, unexpected day out—a night at the theatre, a picnic by the
sea, a trip up the river in a smart boat, an afternoon at a spiffy spa, that kind of thing.
