Hats, canes, bowties, and dress shoes have long given way to smart accessories and custom sneakers in a gentlemen’s set. A modern man needs practical, quality, useful and functional things to warm the soul, and not take up much space with daily use.
You might be looking for a present for your male partner, friend, or family member, or just surfing the web looking for things that make you unique, or even something that every man would consider appropriate and beneficial. The truth is, every man is an individual. Therefore, things that one guy would like, another one might immediately discard as unworthy of his attention.
However, there are several things every man would be interested in trying or would like to have, so we have created a list (in no particular order) of some of them to get the overall portrait of a modern man.
Wireless Headphones
Most men are real music lovers, and headphones are a gift that can come in handy in any situation. Comfortable earbuds for jogging or a full-size headset for privacy with your favorite tracks — any version of the headphones will find its owner. The main thing is that they are high-quality, branded, and ergonomic – for that reason, wireless is the best choice.
With cheap analogs, it is impossible to enjoy the sound’s fullness, so it is better to choose a gadget equipped with an active noise reduction system and stable sound reproduction. There are various headsets from legendary manufacturers, with different construction types, not to mention style and color options, on the market. Good headphones will bring pleasure from listening and emphasize the taste of their owner.
Smart Watches
In other words – fitness bracelets. When training or maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it is essential to monitor your physical performance. Doing this yourself is inconvenient and time-consuming. The best companion of a man will be a multifunctional watch/fitness bracelet that can:
-
- determine the load rate;
- calculate the time of training;
- identify problem areas;
- measure your heart rate;
- help normalize your sleep;
- count callories.
Such a smart accessory is usually made of a soft, moisture-repellent material. Its presence is invisible while sleeping, taking a shower, or training. A fitness tracker motivates you to exercise and displays a picture of your overall health right at the mini display or in the app downloaded onto your smartphone.
Online Dating
Things like dating apps or websites have gained a lot of popularity due to their convenience. It is an excellent tool for finding a significant other or just a one-night stand. The variety of apps is broad, and many of them have their specializations. You can find dating apps for particular age or religion groups, for long-term relationships or friends-with-benefits conditions, and many more.
It saves you time compared to looking for someone on social media. Unique verification methods ensure the protection of your messages, shared files, and accounts, making it perfect and reliable even for sexting and asking for nudes.
Grilling
Grilled meals are the healthiest choice and the best food you can have, especially when it comes to meat. Even if you live in a small apartment, there is always the opportunity to go out into nature to treat your family or friends to delicious grilled dishes. With the right grill and a reliable chef’s knife, you do not need to create a date scenario – every lady will be fascinated by the man who grills for her.
Who knows, maybe a grill itself will become the secret ingredient that makes every meal a true masterpiece.
Gaming Systems
The video gaming industry is continuously developing and evolving, and the latest releases of both games and gaming consoles can only confirm it. Researches show that video games also positively impact problem-solving and communication skills, as well as contribute to a better memory.
It does not matter whether you are a devoted fan and already own a Playstation 5 or Xbox Series X/S or are not interested in next-gen consoles and prefer to stick to PC gaming. Every man deserves to have a complex gaming system for entertainment during their off-time. It allows you to immerse fully in the open worlds, completing quests, and getting a comprehensive gaming experience.
Classic Sunglasses
Sunglasses are one of the very few accessories that a man really needs. Perfectly matched glasses will emphasize the face’s masculine features and complement the overall look (and, of course, save your eyes from the bright sun). It is most profitable to buy classic models that will never go out of fashion and are suitable for any occasion and required dress-code.
Compact Wallets
The leather wallet is an integral part of men’s lifestyles. Keeping money in your pockets is neither neat nor reliable. Since not all gentlemen like to carry bags, it is essential for them that the accessory takes up a minimum of space and contains all the necessary things, such as bills, business cards, credit cards, driver’s license, and even keys.
Generally, men prefer folding wallets in black, brown, grey, or dark blue. For the accessory to withstand daily use for a long time, it is essential to make sure that it is leather and has strong seams and high-quality details.
Some men can be driven crazy by a bright-new cast iron skillet or a grooming kit. Others adore putting a bathrobe on when making their morning coffee, so the traditional tool kit or wooden cologne may not be suitable for every single one of them.
It would have been an irrelevant stereotype and a mistake to pick a present relying only on the sex or determine a man’s preferences and wishes without considering any of his real interests. For that reason, it is always essential to put the person first and try to understand what they really want.1
