The 36 Personalized Gifts for Your Guy (That Aren't Cheesy)

That additional flair will be much appreciated.

By , and

If it's the thought that counts, let's start putting some extra thought in. Think of gifting like ordering a cheeseburger—a personalized touch is equivalent to that good-as-hell pickle and those extra-skinny fries on the side. Sure, you could run out and grab the generic version of any of these items, any day, and it'd be well-received—every guy loves a cheeseburger. And while he may not know it, you know that the cheeseburger could be even better.

It's also not hard to make that burger better. Nowadays, there's all sorts fo ways to personalize a gift. Maybe his new bathrobe has his initials sewn on in a stylish monogram or his watch is customized to match his favorite outfits—either way, he’ll know you planned this gift out months in advance like the thoughtful friend/sibling/S.O. you are. (But just in case you didn't plan this gift out months in advance, there are some quick-turnaround options, too. Always watching out.)

The next time you want to treat them to something special, check out the 36 best personalized gift options for men that’ll show him how much you care—or how concerned you are that he will lose his things if they don’t have his name on them. Both work.
