Wives who are looking for unique gifts for their husbands can find inspiration in sensory gifts that appeal to his five senses. These gifts are very personal choices based on his preferences, like and dislikes. Choose gifts he’ll love by picking sensory gifts that appeal to his sense of taste, sight, smell, touch and sound.


Food Gifts He’ll Love

Appealing to his sense of taste can be as simple and low-key as purchasing his favorite chocolate treat to include with a heartfelt card or love letter. Making or buying his favorite dessert is a food gift that will stimulate his sense of taste.

A more elaborate gift option might include buying a food gift of the month club subscription. These clubs are available for beer of the month, hot sauce of the month and more. In fact, clubs exist for all his favorite foods, drinks, desserts and even condiments. Choose a subscription for three months to one year.

Show Love With Gifts for Him

Sensory gifts that appeal to his sense of sight can include high-tech gadgets. Consider choosing a new digital camera, a video camera like the Flip Video Ultra HD, a Blu-ray media player or a flat-screen TV.



These luxury anniversary gifts for him are not the only option.

There are many possibilities to make homemade gifts for him that will touch his heart and show him he is loved, including:

Make a photo book or scrapbook documenting the relationship.
Tell a story about the marriage with a digital photo slideshow.
Make a short video listing his best qualities or a visual love letter.
Craft a homemade card or letter.
These options can appeal to his sense of sight without requiring large expenditures.

Personalized Gifts of Scent

Stimulating his sense of smell is a gift that will be completely unique to the man and the occasion. For example, a man who most appreciates a home-cooked dinner and homemade dessert may love to come home on his wedding anniversary to a house filled with the smell of his favorite dinner and cookies or pies from the oven. Some men appreciate a thoughtful gift of flowers sent to his office.



When purchasing scented gifts for men, it is always best to go with something he already likes. For a Valentine’s Day or anniversary gift, look for scented products that accompany his favorite cologne. Options often include after shave, deodorant and body wash. Wives who like him to try new scents might like to consider bringing home some samples a few weeks in advance to get his opinion.

Gifts for Men That Touch His Heart

When choosing gifts that stimulate his sense of touch look to soft fabrics or massages. Scheduling couples’ time at a spa can help couples reconnect on an anniversary or weekend away. Massage oils can be purchased to recreate the spa atmosphere at home.

Soft fabrics can include a cashmere sweater, silk or satin sheets, or even new flannel pajamas for him. A high-tech gift option for men would be a new iPhone or gloves that he can use with his iPhone, like the Men’s Echo Touch Sport Glove ($30). These gifts for men come in many different prices so they can be suitable for any gift-giving occasion.

Tell Him He’s Loved With Men’s Gifts

It’s not hard to find high-tech gifts for men that he can use every day to stimulate his sense of hearing. He might like an iPod, iPod speakers or a docking system. A subscription to satellite radio – or an add-on subscription for his favorite sports team or talk-radio host – is a gift of sound he can use every day. A luxury anniversary gift might include the Sonoro Elements W Internet/FM Radio ($500), which serves as an alarm clock, iPod docking and speaker system, internet radio and FM radio.

The gift of sound does not have to be expensive. Make a playlist of his favorite songs or songs with a love theme and add it to his iPod: the modern equivalent of making a mix tape. Leave him a loving or sexy voice mail message. Play romantic music from the early days of the relationship during a special night at home. All these inexpensive gifts are ways to tell him he is special and he is loved.

To choose personalized gifts for men use his five sense for inspiration. Let the occasion determine how expensive or how elaborate the gift will be. Remember that choosing sensory gifts is a very personal choice and should appeal to his own likes and dislikes when it comes to his sense of taste, sight, smell, touch and sound.
