Special Things You Can Do For The Man In Your Life

From birthdays, Christmas’, to our fast approaching Father’s Day, there is always a reason to celebrate the man, or men (hey, dad’s and grandpa’s need to be celebrated, too) in your life! After a while, it gets tedious to get special gifts, or do special things for those men in your life and we end up getting meaningless gifts that will be thrown in the trash after a few years to come. Well, I am here to change that today! I want to share with you all special things that you can do for the man in your life, because he really does deserve it. Here are my very best ideas for special things you can give, or do for your man:

1. Take him on a vacation

This is definitely the most expensive option in this list and it is not for everyone, but hear me out! If you can afford it, taking him on a surprise getaway is an amazing idea. According to The Huffington Post, the more vacations you take, the happier you will be. I know the traditional saying is “happy wife, happy life,” but I think it goes both ways – if you have a happier husband or boyfriend, you are sure to be happier, as well. Going on vacation will you happier, less stressed, more relaxed and it will put you in a better mood overall. If I need another reason to convince you to go on a vacation, then let it be the fact that you get to go, as well. 😉 Make sure you do not plan the trip for yourself, though. If your man loves adventurous trips, but you love sitting on the beach, make sure you don’t choose a beach trip! Keep in mind that this is for him, not you!

2. Give him a day of rest

Everyone needs a day of rest! A great idea for this is to call out of work for him without letting him know, if possible. Turn off his morning wake up alarm and let him sleep in! Start the morning with breakfast in bed, then let him do his favorite things throughout the day – you can let him run the show! Make sure not to let him lift a finger, though! If there is a chore that needs to be done, do it for him. If you choose to do this, a perfect day would be a Friday or Monday. Friday is a great option because you would get his weekend off to a great start! Monday is also a great option because everyone dreads a Monday. Not getting up early, when you think you have to would be a fantastic start to the week! Rest is becoming a lost practice and the more we need it, the less it is actually happening and instead, we fill our calendars to keep ourselves busy..

3. Give him a gift that will last a lifetime

Giving a gift that will last a lifetime is as special as an item will get. When thinking of a gift, you want to make sure that it is high quality and from a reputable source. While there are many fantastic gift ideas that will last a lifetime out there, one of my favorite ideas is a sword from Swords of Northshire. Swords of Northshire offers Samurai Swords, Ninja Swords, Knives, Custom Swords and Accessories. They are a reputable source for swords for a few different reasons. First of all, they have fantastic reviews. If you check out their website, you will see for yourself. They also have wonderful customer service – they not only have a customer service telephone number, but you can also reach them through email and live chat, as well. On top of both of those reasons, they also hand forge their swords in the town of Longquan. Longquan is located in China in the Qinxi mountainous area. Longquan has over 2,600 years of sword making experience (it can be traced back to 770-476 BC), when the town was founded, making longquan swords are the most traditional ancient weapons of China. When purchasing a sword through Swords of Northshire, you know that your sword will go through the most tedious, perfected forging process in Longquan, ensuring that you receive the best product possible.

4. Give him something that he has wanted for a while

It seems like we are constantly going through life wanting something new, each day, so I am positive that you have heard your man point out something that he has been wanting. It could be something small, or something on the larger side, but as long as he wants it, you are good to go!

5. Have a fancy dinner

Food is one of my biggest passions, so you know that a fancy dinner is the way to my heart. Search for fancy recipes and make your own dinner at home, or take him out to a special restaurant in your area. If you make him dinner at home, set the mood by playing some light music, opening a bottle of wine and lighting some candles. If you go out to dinner, I am sure the restaurant will set the mood of romance for you!

No matter what you decide to do for the man in your life, if it comes from the heart, it is sure to be special. If you are still having a hard time deciding what to do after all of these tips, just take time to really think about what he needs and wants and you will get your answer!
