Picking a gift for your brother, guy friend or your boyfriend more often than not seems like a herculean task. We bring you 10 gifting ideas that guys will thank you for

1-Gadgets When someone said that diamonds are a woman’s best friend, they forgot to mention that for a man it was gadgets. There’s nothing easier — be it a mobile phone or a DVD player, a camera, or the new X-box he has been eyeing. Just make sure you know exactly what he likes. 2-Renew his DVD subscription If movies are what he is hooked to most of the time, make it a point to renew his subscription. There is nothing better than seeing his face light up, when he knows you care about his movies as much as he does. 3-Buy special merchandise Most guys are hooked to sports, so gifting something that interests them is the best idea. If his favourite team is Manchester United, buy him some cool team merchandise that you know he will like. It could be shoes, bags, tees or a simple keychain. 4-Be the ‘buddy’ If there is anything he looks forward to the most, then it is his time with his buddies. Be that buddy for a change and take him to his favourite restaurant or just play video games together. 5-Boxers If you are looking for innovative options, then gift him a really cool pair of boxers. There are lots of funky ones available in the market today. But just remember, it qualifies as quite a personal gift. 6-Miniature automobiles There is nothing more exciting than gifting your friend a miniature edition of a sports bike or car model that you know he is lusting after. 7-Passes to his favourite match Surprise him with tickets to an upcoming cricket match. Even better, put on your cheer leader outfit and tag along with him to watch it. 8-Gift him a vacation If you know your friend has been wanting to go on a vacation, do all the bookings and hand over the tickets. He will be pleasantly surprised by the gesture. 9-Add a personalised touch This could be something as simple as getting his name engraved on the ipod you are gifting him. You can never go wrong with this. 10-A leisure day It is a myth that men do not enjoy being pampered. Gift him a day at the spa or even a head massage.
