You’re a little short but you just NEED a great gift for him. What do you do?

So it’s one of those times. You’re a little short this month, maybe you just had a big payment to make or something like that. And you need a hot gift for your man, but don’t have much – or anything- to spend on it.

Give him a gift certificate or 3.

I think a gift certificate makes a good gift for a man. But before you rush off and start looking for gift certificates from the stores, I’m not thinking of those types of gift certificates. And of course those gift certificates aren’t free. I’m thinking of something entirely different.

Lets say your man loves it when you make chocolate mousse for desert, but you don’t get to do it very often.

Why not give him a gift certificate for a desert of chocolate mouse, from you, one evening?

Now I hope you’re starting to get the idea.

Perhaps he loves it when you give him a neck massage, or when you wash the dog so he doesn’t have to do it, or when ………….

I’m absolutely sure that you can come up with lots of great ideas for things he loves, that you can do for free, but that you don’t really get around to doing very often.

Feel free to think of anything at all that you know he’d love, and that you can do. Go on, start thinking now.

There, you’ve already come up with some haven’t you. Read more

A little short this month but still need to find a nice, but free, gift for him?

Here’s some suggestions for a free gift for your man. Each is a lovely suggestion on it’s own, all of them combined tell him you love him with maximum effect. And free.

1. Give him a poem.

There’s lots of ways to express how you feel about your man, and a poem is one of them. Of course not all men would be receptive to a beautiful poem, but then not all men would be receptive to a brilliant NFL gift either.

A poem can really say something worthwhile. It can often express emotions in a way that is difficult to do in other ways. It is a romantic and beautiful way to say something to your man, so say I love you.

Now of course you could write him a poem yourself. That’s ideal, however not all of us are accomplished poets.

If you’re not, then there are places to go to get beautiful and romantic poems which you can use for free, and quite legally.

Maybe you could write your poem out by hand and send it to him by mail, the old fashioned way. Or maybe just email it to him at work when he’s least expecting it. Or why not make him a romantic dinner at home and have your poem to him in an easy to find place on the table, say under his wine glass?

Either way, particularly if it’s completely unexpected, a poem expressing to him how you feel about him is a wonderful way to give him a gift that is totally free, and very successful.

If you’d like to find some wonderful, and free, poems for you to use, then read my article about poem giving.

2. Make him something wonderful to eat.

Men are like women. They love eating. And you don’t need to head down to the local store to buy him something special to eat.

There is absolutely no reason why you can’t make him something wonderful to eat yourself.

Now here’s a free – and unusual gift for a man with a difference. The Rasterbator.

Now I can see you going Hmmm…………….should I keep reading? Yes keep reading, it’s nothing like you’re imagining.

The Rasterbator is an online imaging service, where you take an image and convert it to a black and white, color or monochrome colored dot image. Have a look at their website and they have a whole gallery of photos of Rasterbated images there for you to get an idea of exactly what you can produce.
Download it in a pdf file and print it in individual A4 sheets.

Then put it on a wall and it makes a wonderful and arty wall hanging, or painting, or ??? I don’t quite know what you’d call it. But it looks great.

You can use any image you like. Why not a photo of you so he can have a stylised picture of you on his wall? Or even a photo of him?

Or perhaps his dog? Any photo of something that is important to him really.
It’s completely free to use and it’s pretty self explanatory, I worked out how to use it in a few minutes, just follow the prompts. It takes a while to “rasterbate” the image, so maybe you need to make a cup of coffee while you’re waiting, otherwise it’s pretty simple.

There are many many gifts that a woman – or a man – can give to a man that are free, but may be far more valuable and worthwhile than most other gifts in life.

And which may be far more a demonstration of their love as well.

It’s not the cost of the gift for a man that determines the value.

This is a gift that falls into that category. A thoroughly worthwhile gift of love – and health – that costs nothing. And which for some men be the best gift they ever receive.

It’s a gift of a visit to the doctor for an overall health check, incuding a prostate cancer check. Not an easy gift to give, but one you may be thankful for for the rest of your – and his – life.

I’m no doctor, and don’t take this as medical advice, but as I understand it prostate cancer is one of the major killers of men in our society. Just like breast cancer is of women.

And also as I understand it, men are extremely reluctant to go for a general medical checkup, including a prostate check.

So if he’s really special it might be up you to make sure he does. And make it for a general check up as well, not just prostate. There’s lots of other things worth checking. Do it annually.

This is a particularly personal issue for me. My father had prostate cancer. He died some 12 months ago, from cancer. They don’t know exactly which, he ended up with a few types of cancer, the prostate cancer may or may not have caused them.
