- Experience gifts are practically made for men. An experience gift can be almost anything, from a car racing experience to parachuting out of an airplane. A Dragster Fantasy Ride from Xperience Days, for instance, includes a ride-along in an 800-hp Monster Two Seat Dragster. The gift recipient suits up in safety gear and is driven at g-force speed on a track with a certified instructor. For a gift you can share with the birthday boy, there are experiences like Bighorn Whitewater Rafting. This package includes a class III rapid ride on nearly 100 miles of Colorado's Arkansas River. Xperience Days is a company that offers dozens of different experience gift certificates all over the country.
- A beer-of-the-month club is a great gift for a friend. Sign up with any number of clubs, and the special guy will receive a 12-oz. bottle of hard-to-find, handcrafted microbrewed beer each month. The Microbrewed Beer of the Month Club, for instance, chooses a premium brew from one of over 1,000 national and international breweries or brewpubs. A membership can range anywhere from two to 12 months. Membership also includes a newsletter with beer festival dates, reviews and articles about the microbrew industry.
- For the guy who can't head to the office or work site each morning without stopping for a cup of coffee, think about giving him a book of coffee gift certificates. Even mom-and-pop coffee shops offer them these days. Some plans come with an ornamental mug with a lid that he can use while driving or walking. Plus, he won't just be limited to getting the regular. With his coupons, he can indulge in specialty coffees like a super-mocha-chocolaty-whipped-creamy-sensation---if it's on the menu, that is. If handing him a plastic gift card doesn't seem weighty enough, put it in a handsome coffee mug along with beans from the shop.
