I write about mens gifts and mens gift ideas, and I get asked a lot of questions about buying great gifts for men. And there’s one question that comes up more than any other. “What gift do I buy for the man who has enough money to buy anything he wants?”

If a man can buy anything he wants then almost by definition there’s not much left he wants, so don’t expect him to drop lots of hints about what he wants for his birthday, or Christmas. If he really wants it he’s already bought it.

There are also plenty of men who can’t quite buy whatever they want, because there’s things he wants that he can’t afford. This is good and bad. It’s good because there’s at least some things he really wants, it’s bad because often YOU can’t afford them either. Ask him to see if there’s anything like that.

But for a moment lets assume that he’s got all he wants. There’s his birthday coming up, or maybe it’s Christmas coming up, and you really want to get him a hot gift anyway. Something he’ll love even if he’s got everything.

So here’s 7 hot mens gift ideas that most men will love. Few will love all of them, but you know your man, there’s bound to be some in there he will love. Some are cheaper, some are more expensive.

1. Lingerie. Men love to see their women in hot lingerie and so if you buy some really hot lingerie and wear if for him I’ll guarantee there’s few men that would be disappointed. And it’s something for you as well, and not expensive.

A women can’t ever have enough hot lingerie as far as her man is concerned, more is always fine. It’s a can’t fail mens gift idea, as long as you wear it for him.

And girls it’s no excuse to say you can’t find your size, there’s lingerie made to fit any woman. And if he loves you large now he’ll love you large wearing hot lingerie.

2. Buy him an adventure gift. Not all men love adventure, but most do. And believe it or not there are companies that cater directly to that with all sorts of adventure. Things that a man with a death wish will love right down to subtle adventure like a romantic spa for 2 at a beautiful remote location.

And for all sorts of tastes. Would he love to do his first parachute jump? Try white water rafting? Drive a tank or a supercar? Go zero-g just like the astronauts do in training? You can give him a gift of any of these things and thousands more, from the extreme adrenalin gift to the gentle and invigorating and pampering gift. The adventure gift companies cater for all tastes in outdoors and adventure and adrenalin, even to beautiful and luxurious days like wine tastings and spa days. There’s something for everyone.

3. An eco holiday. There is a growing worldwide movement to charity and volunteer and ecological work and travel. Rather than just buy him a holiday in Europe, which is a little ho hum, why not buy him some volunteer travel with a difference. There are lots of companies which offer adventure travel with a twist, volunteer work that helps out those less fortunate than ourselves, both people and animals and the environment.

He may end up on a research vessel in the waters off Mexico counting turtles or in the wilds of Africa measuring the distribution of African animals. The destinations are almost always exotic. There is work to be done but it is so interesting and adventurous and invigorating that he probably won’t even see it as work. It’s fun, it’s exciting, it’s adventurous and it gives back to the environment and to many less fortunate than ourselves helping committed scientists with their research.

It isn’t cheap, but it’s a wonderful holiday and one he won’t forget for a long time.

4 Chinese art. This is a favorite of mine because I lived in China for a while and just love Chinese art. We have so many pieces that we don’t have enough space to hang them all. From beautiful Chinese wall hangings to the absolutely fabulous and quite unique teapots of Yixing, there are so many Chinese artworks that would go so well in so many of our Western homes.

And it’s so cheap. For the man who loves his art, Chinese art is a gift of art with a difference.

5. An elephant painting. Another one for the man who likes his art. Painted by a real Asian elephant on paper which is made from elephant dung. Now before you wonder if I’ve gone mad check it out. The elephants really do the painting, I have a video of it on my website. And believe it or not they paint recognizable objects. The paintings look great, are extremely inexpensive, and would make a great artwork to hang near the table to stimulate some evening conversation with his friends.

6. And then there’s the man who has absolutely everything and doesn’t want for anything at all. Buy him a whale. You really can buy him a whale, although delivery is a little problematical, as is wrapping it up. What happens is that there are organizations like the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin trust that track and identify real individual whales and allow you to name a whale or dolphin just for him, so he has his own whale out there somewhere.

The money helps in the protection of our whales and gives him a unique and memorable gift.

So there you have it, 6 suggestions for great gifts for the man who has everything. Ranging in price from $50 or so, to seriously expensive.

Now you don’t have any excuses to say “I have no idea what to buy him for his birthday” any more.
