Tickets to the Olympics
If the man you want to buy a gift for is a sports buff, then you have no better gift to give than tickets to the upcoming Olympics in London, in July this year. You don't have to spend money on every event, just get tickets for the events that he is interested in. Even if the occasion on which you want to give this gift comes after the Olympics, this is one gift that you can safely give in advance! Plan out the entire schedule now so that you are sure that the gift works its magic.
If you think tickets to the Olympics events are out of your budget, or planning a schedule around these events is difficult, you can get him official Olympics clothing/gear that is available at all sports stores. It will still have a great impact.
Kindle Fire
For a tech buff who doesn't easily give in to the Apple buzz, the Kindle Fire, released in November 2011, is a hot product that will serve as the perfect gift in 2012. Giving you access to books, movies and TV shows from the Amazon app store, this device also has a browser called Amazon Silk that can be used for all your internet-related requirements. Whether you want to get your dad this gadget to keep up with the world, or give it to your boyfriend/husband/brother as a new 'toy', it is definitely the perfect gift for any man in your life!
Then-and-Now Caricature
For a guy who will take it well, make a caricature that portrays him a few years ago (then) and what he is now. This caricature does not necessarily have to do with traits/things that have deteriorated - for example, he was thin then and fat now. Instead, you could even highlight traits such as how he was lazy then and is more active now, or how he can multitask now. Make it funny, make it hilarious, but ensure that no feelings are hurt. This personalized gift just can't go wrong!
Red Carpet Movie Premier
Some great movies are expected to be released this year. If you can manage to get him tickets for a movie premier that he is looking forward to, nothing will beat this gift. You may have to find your way around and pull a lot of strings, and it really depends on who this guy is that you are planning to get the gift for. Even then, any guy would love this gift, and will definitely appreciate the effort you have put in planning it out. Do something different this year; take your special someone for a red carpet movie premier.
His Signature Scent
If you know him well, you know the fragrances he likes. Get a scent created that will become his signature, something that will make him unique, that will define only him. Woody, musky, spicy - any scent that he is fond of, or that you like when you are around him, can be made. Personalize the bottle with his initials on them, and you are good to go. If you think that you may not be able to create this scent, go on and get him some of the best perfumes that are signature scents in 2012. Perfumes are always appreciated by guys, so this is yet another gift that just can't go wrong.
