If you or the guy you are shopping for likes to camp and they are just no good without a morning cup of coffee or two, how about checking out a camping coffee pot?

If you are anything like me, it takes a little bit longer to get up and moving if there isn't some java available first thing in the morning.  Of course these could be used to make coffee  anywhere, but I think camping coffee pots are an essential piece of camping equipment.  If you are very particular, you could even follow up this present with a camping coffee press.  Outdoor loving guys will appreciate this practical present if they have a bit of a java habit.

Just as a tip, you might want to consider bringing along some potable water for making your coffee.  The last thing you would want to do is brew up a case of gastrointestinal problems for yourself and your camping partners.  If animals (and their droppings) have access to the water where you go camping, it might be best to avoid that source.

Also keep in mind that you will need to provide heat for brewing your coffee.  How you go about doing this will depend  a lot on your level of experience with camping.  If you are not particularly skilled with campfires and their workings, you might want to consider bringing along some alternate source "just in case" things don't work out with the Grizzly Adams approach to brewing coffee or cooking.

It might be a little bit of a cheat for people who insist on "roughing it" but you've got to draw the line somewhere, right?

There are quite a few different stlyes of camping coffee pots available. Choose one to meet your needs and your level of experience in the wilderness.

There are some people who it is just very difficult to buy for because you don't know them all that well personally.  Many people who have kids playing organized sports sometimes feel as though they should get their child's coach some type of gift.  I was searching around for football coach gifts and I think this is a pretty good list of ideas.

There are a bunch of great items if you follow that link above, but there are many football themed items that you can buy as gifts for coaches without breaking the bank.  This book, The Football Coaching Bible might do nicely.

Some other ideas include books written by well respected, professional coaches who have spent years climbing their way to the top of the coaching profession.  You can never have enough words of inspiration I suppose.

If you think the coach might enjoy a little bit of everything, you could find a very nice football themed basket that would actually be great for any guy who enjoys football. You'd figure that the coach has some interest in the sport, so it might make for a nice gift that probably won't be duplicated by anybody. Even if it is, the stuff in the basket probably won't go to waste!

If you don't like either of those gift ideas, just check out this more thorough list of football coach presents

Of course, don't forget that just because he coaches football, he might still have some other outside interests.  If you happen to know what they are, you can base the present you choose on that.  If you ever talk to the people he coaches with, or his family, they might be able to give you a different perspective of what he might enjoy receiving as a gift.

As a woman, thinking of great gift ideas for other women is one of the easiest things in the world. We, ourselves, know what kinds of things we lust after on a daily basis. From clothing and accessories to makeup, beauty and spa products, pretty much anything from our favorite product line will do the trick. The challenge comes when we try to think of that perfect gift for our husband, boyfriend, brother or father. Guys in general can be hard to shop for, but even more difficult is shopping men who are particular in their taste or have unusual interests. Some of our top picks for men's gift ideas include sports related items, entertainment related items, clothing, and even personal care items. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a gift for a guy.

With sports related gifts, try to determine if the guy you're shopping for has a favorite sport or two. This will help send you in the right direction. Also consider if he likes playing that sport or simply watching it. If he loves playing basketball, think about getting him some new basketball shorts, or athletic shoes. If he loves watching football, think about getting him tickets to see his favorite team play. Generally, sporting equipment is great, as are workout clothing and tickets to sporting events.

If your guy likes to watch sports, you might also want to consider getting him a television or speakers or something to enhance his sports and entertainment viewing experience. You could sign him up for a DVR account if he doesn't already have one. Most guys love anything in high definition - so an HDTV, a Blu-Ray DVD player, or even just a Blu-Ray DVD of one of his favorite movies could be an ideal present.

Finally, if your gift recipient likes to take good care of himself, finding high quality men's grooming items can be a hit. Good skin care products, body care items, shampoo and even cologne are great ones to consider. When choosing such items be sure to read up on things like body care, shampoo and skin care product reviews to ensure you find a top notch product. With cologne, you're probably the best judge of which one best suits the man who will receive it.

Once you have narrowed down your choices, you may want to run your ideas by a few of his other friends to get a feel for which idea might be the winning choice.

When it comes to special occasions in a man’s life, selecting mens gifts can be a very tricky process. This article will provide you with some less conventional gift ideas that are sure to draw a smile, especially from a man who appears to have everything in life.

Gifts Ideas for Men

Bungee Jumping – This type of activity is most likely the most terrifying or exciting gift suggestion you can give to your man. However, there is absolutely no point in sending tickets for this experience gift to a man who is not into adrenaline sports. You know for sure if he likes this activity or not. If he does, go online and look for a local bungee jumping facility nearest your place.


Hot Air Balloon – How about spending a few moments with your man in a hot air balloon ride? These rides are gentle yet thrilling mens gifts that both of you can enjoy. The sceneries permitted by the ride on a clear day in a balloon will surely make a lasting memory for the two of you.

Spa – Though, you only consider sending spa gift certificates to your girlfriends, even if a spa experience is not very masculine, it could be the greatest present he’ll receive from you. If your man is the busiest man alive, who normally deals with lots of workload and lives a very stressful life in the office, a spa day will give him the time off. For his special day, granting him a ‘normal life’ with sauna and massage is most likely to reduce the strain and constant worrying of your active man.

The appeal of sending mens gifts that integrate experience instead of material or physical product is that they are very much diverse from conventional presents. While a new shirt or watch can be shown off to his buddies, an experience day is something he can tell even to his grandkids in the future.

Switchblade Comb for the Coolest of the Cool

OK.  Really, this is a gift that is just for fun.  A Switch Blade Comb
is a gift that every really cool guy needs to add to his collection of macho primping accessories.  Who wouldn't be proud to bust out a mega cool folding comb that makes them look like they are just too cool for school?  I don't know that I would expect any switchblade comb to last a lifetime.  It is a fun novelty type of item.  Maybe a nice stocking stuffer or add on for a larger present.  Possibly to go along with a "cool" theme for someone?  There are plenty of people who actually collect switchblade knives and other types of knives.  This might be a fun gift for them.  The price is right!

Presents for Men - Welcome

Welcome to my Presents for Men website.  My wife has always said that its hard to buy me gifts.  I'm not sure why she thinks that, but this is my little effort to make her life easier.  I figured I'd take a few minutes and set up a little site dedicated to presents for men that might help out other people looking for ideas too.  What I'm hoping will happen is gift ideas and "favorite present stories" will be offered by people who stop by.  This should make for a pretty nice list of gift ideas for anyone who needs them.  I'm not selling anything.  I might eventually throw a link up to eBay to help people who would like to look there though.

If you have a great gift idea to add to the presents for men list, please add it to the comments for other people to see.  I'll be moderating comments just because some people act like jerks, but I'll do my best to get them up asap.  Thank you for visiting my site dedicated to presents for men.
