Your husband is the love of your life. But you’re stuck on choosing the perfect gift for him.
Sometimes, the person you’re closest to can be the hardest person to shop for. After all, you’ve celebrated so many birthdays and holidays with your husband, and exchanged so many gifts with him over the years. After a while, it’s hard to come up with a sweet and thoughtful gift for your husband that you haven’t given him already.
Luckily, we did some brainstorming for you and selected the best gifts for every type of husband. Whether your husband is the artsy type or someone who loves nice things, you’ll definitely find a unique and personal gift that your husband will love.
For the husband who loves to make lists and log everything
Whether it’s ranking his favorite albums or keeping a list of all the birds he’s seen, your husband needs a dedicated notebook to log all of his activities and observations.
A bullet journal is the perfect repository for his record keeping. The dot grid pages lend themselves to making lists, graphs, and other visual data in a neat and organized fashion. And its sturdy cover means that it’s durable enough to throw in his bag and carry along with him when he goes bird watching.
For the husband who could use a little help managing his time
If your husband tends to forget when his work assignments are due or when it’s his day to pick up the kids or make dinner, help him get his life together by gifting him this monthly calendar desk pad.
Here, he can write down his important work deadlines, doctor’s appointments, errands, special events, birthdays, etc. Seeing this visual reminder everyday will help him to manage his time more efficiently, which means he’ll have more time to spend with you. :)
For the husband with wanderlust
This Bucket List Journal is perfect for the husband who’s already made a good dent in his travel bucket list or the husband who still has lots of blank pages in his passport.
He can carry this along with him as he travels the world and jot down his favorite experiences and observations. And when he’s filled up his notebook it will later make for a heartwarming memento. He can flip through the pages and relive those amazing travel adventures all over again.
For the husband who loves nice things
If your husband knows the difference between an amaro and a fernet, and would rather listen to an opera than watch TV, then he’ll definitely appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship of this Lamy fountain pen.
For the introspective husband
Your husband loves his quiet time and using it to reflect on his life, or how he can improve as a person. Make his introspective time a little more thoughtful with this Prompt Journal.
A guided journal will help him examine his life from a different perspective, and open him up to new and unique insights. A journal with prompts is great for the husband who’s already a dedicated journaler and could use some inspiration or the husband who’s trying out journal writing for the very first time.
For the husband who’s looking to make a career change
Maybe your husband is tired of his current job. Or he’s looking to reconnect with his true passions. Or he wants to pivot into a completely different field. A career change, while exciting, can also be an intense and emotionally fraught experience. Help him navigate this crossroads moment by gifting him The Career Compass Guided Journal. With helpful exercises and journaling prompts, your husband will gain clarity on what he’s looking for, and make this career transition with ease..
For the husband who just got a new job or promotion
Your husband is celebrating a huge career milestone. Help him make a strong impression at work by gifting him the Kunisawa Executive Notebook. It’s the type of well-made, elegant notebook that will impress and make him feel more confident.
For the husband who’s planning on running his first marathon
A marathon requires long-term planning and dedication. Help your husband stay the course and get through the grueling days of training with his very own fitness planner. He can record his workout sessions and times, track his progress, identify challenges and solutions, and plot out his journey to get him over the finish line.
For the husband who loves staying in and being cozy
If your husband’s ideal date night is staying in and cuddling on the couch, then make the experience even more cozy and comfortable with a plush fleece blanket. It will definitely turn your home into a winter haven.
For the husband who loves learning new skills
Whether it’s taking up pottery or learning a new language, your husband loves nothing more than to challenge himself and learn new things. A thoughtful gift would be a gift certificate to online classes like Skillshare or Masterclass, so he can learn about a variety of different topics.
For the husband who wants to stop procrastinating
If your husband tends to drag his heels getting started on tasks or chores, then he’ll benefit from doing productivity sprints. 15 minutes of targeted work like tidying the kitchen or getting words down on the page will kickstart his productivity. And an hourglass is the perfect productivity tool–he won’t be distracted by screens and he’ll stay focused on the task at hand.
For the husband who’s looking for a creative hobby
Calligraphy is a great hobby to pick up because you don’t need much to get started. If your husband is new to calligraphy, all he really needs is a workbook and a brush pen, and he can work from his desk at home or at the kitchen table.
With calligraphy, your husband will get to flex his creative muscles, while also engaging in an activity that is deeply soothing and relaxing.
