Gift Ideas for Both Men and Women That Will Help You Make Your Precious People Happy

June 17, 2021 by Jeremy Lindy

Sometimes, the gift you think that’s going to blow the socks off of your receiver doesn’t go so well. They’re grateful but you soon realize that they don’t like it and I can’t wait to return the item. Don’t feel down. It’s hard shopping for others. Everyone has their unique taste and sometimes you just don’t find a suitable match for a gift. 


We’ve all been there. What to get the coworker that helped you when you first started working at the company and is now one of your closest friends? How about your aunt that’s hard to please? Though it may be hard to track down the perfect, there are items out there that most everyone will love. The list in this guide will help you steer the gift-giving landscape.

Great Gift Ideas for Your Special Someone

Whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or just as a thank you, shopping for others is tough. Because everyone has their own tasty and unique style, it can be an actual struggle to try to pinpoint the right item. A great way to avoid these pitfalls is to buy gender-neutral items.


Gender-neutral gifts are great because you can use these gift ideas for everyone and you can be sure that things like color or purpose won’t get in the way. While it’s not 100% foolproof, you’ll definitely have more pleased recipients than not. Here are some unique gift ideas that you can get for both men and women.

1. Polaroid Camera

For the photography lover in your life, a Polaroid camera is a good option. It allows them to capture all of life’s sweetest memories. There is something nostalgic about the photo that adds to the atmosphere making moments seem more memorable. This is one they will enjoy regardless of gender.

2. Phone Case

A phone case is suitable for those that are constantly dropping their phones. The Casetify phone cases are a durable brand. Your loved one can drop them and not worry about breaking another phone screen.

3. Phone and Accessory Sanitizing Tray

A sanitizing tray is perfect for the germaphobe in your life. These nifty little things are great for killing the germs on your phone and the other items you carry with you on your errands. With the focus on sanitation and protecting yourself from becoming ill, these sanitation trays are an excellent addition to anyone’s routine.

4. Watch

Watches are some of the best gifts you can give. There are a number of options and styles available. Furthermore, visit Watch For Tomorrow to get information on the best brands, styles of watches out there. A watch adds style and sophistication to any look. Your receiver will love having a stylish watch on their wrist.

5. Weekend Airbnb

One of the best gifts you can give to someone is the gift of relaxation. Treat your special person to a weekend getaway at an upscale Airbnb. You can book them a spot in their city or anywhere else in the world. If you know they’re planning a trip, give them accommodations for their journey. It will be meaningful and well received.

6. Snack Box

You can get them a customized box of gourmet snacks or get them a month’s subscription to a snack box service. Everyone enjoys a treat every now and again. If your person is a foodie, this will fall right in that category. They’ll enjoy having snacks they already love or trying new ones that can become possible favorites.

7. Chiropractic Session

If your special someone works long hours sitting down or doing intense labor, this can be a wonderful gift for them. You’ll be able to feel better and remind them to take care of themselves. This can help them to feel more energized as well as having the body in alignment with no aches and pains is a wonderful feeling. Give your loved one the gift of good health and a feeling good in their body.

8. Skincare Kit

A skincare kit is always well received. If your person is new to taking care of their skin, this is a good way to start them off. The steps are simple and the products are usually straightforward with these kits. You can choose one that matches their skin type. The Fenty Beauty Kits are a good option.

When it comes to finding a gift that works for both men and women, you can never go wrong with tech gadgets, food, and gift certificates for places and things the person likes. Another way to make sure you’re getting the right gift is to pay attention to what the person’s hobbies and interests are. 

If they love to cook, then a kitchen gadget is the way to go. If your special person is a gardener, then purchase tools to make gardening easier for them. It’s the details that make a gift special, so pay attention to the little things about the person you love.
