What to get for the men in your life who seem to have everything they need? Some men tend to not want much of anything and can be perceived as difficult to buy gifts for. Still, I think most of us enjoy getting things we don’t necessarily need, but rather something we would enjoy, and this includes men. So, rather than focus on something they need day to day, perhaps focus on a gift that would make them feel spoiled or items they would consider a luxury.
This set of one-of-a-kind Margarita glasses is not only stunning to look at with their beautiful blue stripes but great for the environment as well. Crafted by Javier and Efren from Mexico, these handblown glasses, Blue Typhoon, are made of recycled materials and are eco-friendly. What better way to relax at the end of the day than with a tasty drink in a beautiful handmade glass? Due to the artisan-crafted nature of this set, tiny bubbles and slight variances may exist.
Art is a great gift for a guy who seems to have everything. This intriguing piece of art was created in Ghana by the artist Bernard Mensah. This original abstract painting, ‘Law of Attraction II’, depicts the concept of opposites attracting by using light and dark colors in a warm palette.
A soft alpaca blanket or throw in a beautiful color of red would be a luxurious gift for any guy in your life. It’s also a gift he can enjoy for years to come. It is not only functional but decorative. This splendid, queen-sized blanket, aptly named ‘Cajamarca Sunset’, is made in Peru by the artisan Nestor Yana.
A game is a gift that can bring a lot of enjoyment to the owner. Domino games are entertaining to play with multiple guests, a partner, or solo. This unique, hand carved 3-game set called ‘Game Day,’ is made in India by the craftsman, Devender Garg. The set includes dominos, cards, and dice. The handsome box is made from sheesham wood which displays the natural and striking grain. Brass accents add to the decorative quality of this artisan piece.
Perfect for the hardworking man, this handmade Mayan hammock, the ‘Caribbean Mambo’, is made in Mexico by Mexico’s Maya Artists of the Yucatán, who preserve the weaving techniques inherited from their Mayan ancestors in keeping with the hammock tradition. Swinging solo with a cold drink in this traditional, rustic hammock will make anyone feel like they are on a “stay-cation’ and transforms a backyard into a pleasant space to relax.
Music is a good way to liven up any occasion, and drumming is thought to have calming effects on the drummer and audience alike. Even if the recipient of the gift doesn’t play the djembe drum, it is an exotic decoration, and can perhaps turn into a new hobby in which to revel. Made in Ghana by the craftsman and artist, Samuel Coleman, this wood djembe drum, ‘God is Supreme’, is adorned with an Adinkra symbol carving, namely Gye Nyame, which means “I fear nothing but God.” This gorgeous and ornate drum is made of tweneboa wood and finished with mansion polish.
