8 Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Guy

With just a few more days to go, Christmas is quickly approaching! Have you selected the perfect gift for the special man in your life? By Charley Reid

Christmas is a time when we curl up on the couch with our loved ones, sit by a fireplace, drink eggnog, eat a lot, and of course, open all those gifts perfectly wrapped sitting under the tree. Though you can always try to get away with an “I Owe You” card, wouldn't it better to see your man's eyes light up when he opens something you got him?

Last minute Christmas gift ideas for your guy

If you still haven't found anything for your man, the bad news is that you don't have much time left! The good news is, that the last minute ideas below are excellent choices, and also ones that don't look like last minute ideas!

#1 Frame your favorite picture of you two. This is such an easy gift that also has a lot of meaning behind it. If you have a special man in your life, it's important to make him know just how special he is.

Just print your favorite photo or photos, and find a really cool frame you like that you think goes with his stuff, and write a note on the back about the photo. You can go the sentimental route by writing down the details of when and where the photo was taken, or you can go the romantic route by writing a sweet message.

This gift has a lot of meaning to it. Whenever you look at it, you'll both be reminded of where you were and what you were doing the time the photo was taken. Also, having the note on the back as a little reminder gives it that extra little something needed for the personal touch.

#2 Cook a fancy dinner. If you usually cook things for dinner like pasta or you order pizza, then this is a great gift that is also very easy to give your man. Surprise him by cooking him a 3-5 course meal: appetizers, salad, meal, dessert. If you want to get really creative and cute, tell him to dress up in a suit and tie.

To make the dinner even more personal, create your own little menu so when he sits down at the table, it'll be that much more meaningful. It's all in the details. And don't forget to put your name on the menu under 'dessert,' if you know what I mean!

#3 Make an unfinished photo album for you two to fill. Making a photo album is a really cute, romantic and personal gift to give your man for Christmas. The whole point of leaving it unfinished is because you two can fill it as you continue to grow in your relationship. Think: the adventure book of Ellie and Carl in UP.

You don't have to hurry to fill it up, but fill it up as quickly or slowly as you desire, with photos and postcards, and anything else you guys collect on your many adventures. It's such a beautiful gift idea, because once you do fill it, you will want to start another one, and you'll have them to look back at, for many years to come.

#4 A gift basket of all his favorite things. One gift that is sure to be a big hit is a gift basket filled with all of his favorite candy, snacks, and other knick-knacks he loves. I don't know anyone who has ever been upset when given a gift basket of fruit or chocolate strawberries or even post-its when he's always running out. So just imagine when he sees his huge gift basket filled with nothing but his favorite things.

It's a great feeling knowing that every single thing in your gift basket is a favorite, and if you're lucky, he might even share some with you from time to time!

#5 Apple TV. Apple TV is pretty cool, and it's a gift you can give your guy that you both will actually get to enjoy and use very often. For example, if you've watched your man watch all his favorite shows on Netflix from his computer, you are about to turn his world upside down with Apple TV.

He'll now be able to watch all his favorite shows on his TV screen! Not only that, but you can listen to all of your iTunes any time you want, and so much more. Seriously, Apple TV is life changing. It may not be the most romantic gift, but it's definitely one that will be very much appreciated.

#6 A fancy razor and new cologne. Most guys tend to use the same razor for shaving their face forever and ever, until they finally have to toss it out and purchase a new one. Also, most guys don't splurge a little and get the most expensive, fancy electric razor, but instead opt for the mid-range and accept that they might get razor burn from time to time.

Now is your chance to splurge for him, on something he normally wouldn't for himself. That's the great thing about Christmas! Along with getting him the really nice razor, pick out cologne that you like, and surprise him with a beautiful new bottle of cologne. If he never wears cologne, that's okay, get it for him anyway. He'll start wearing it now, that I promise you!

#7 Gift cards. This one is always available last minute, but instead of getting him one gift card for just one place, mix it up, and get him 5-10 different gift cards to different places. You could even get one to one of your favorite restaurants you two like going to, and save it for a special date night.

Maybe he's wanted to get a new TV for the living room, so get him a gift card to a place like Best Buy or IKEA. Gift cards aren't the most personal gifts to give, but they are practical. So when all else fails, get your man gift cards for this Christmas.

#8 A nice bathrobe. There is nothing more comfortable than that feeling after a nice, hot, relaxing bath or shower. And it's even more enjoyable if you have a super cozy, comfy, fuzzy bathrobe to wrap up in. In movies, you always see the actors walking around in them, so there is no reason why your man shouldn't be walking around in one either. Is there anything sexier than your man after a shower anyway? I don't think so!

A nice bathrobe is another thing that your man probably wouldn't buy for himself, so it's a perfect reason why you should get it for him. If you want to take it a step further, and depending on your location, you could even have it embroidered with his initials. He's sure to feel like a king wearing his robe with this gift!

Christmas might be around the corner, but that doesn't mean you're stuck in one! Save yourself the stress trying to figure out what to give your man, and instead use any of these 8 last minute ideas!
