When thinking of Christmas gift ideas for men, try and take into account their current lifestyle. Gifts for him should essentially take him out of his comfort zone and get him to start experiencing life as opposed to merely existing as a clock-in, clock-out employee who wouldn’t look out of place in a society where Big Brother was always watching. He needs some adventure and experience days are just the ticket. Experience gifts for him usually involve taking him to perform an activity that will seem strange and exciting. There is the option of taking him to wineries or cookery classes but to really get his adrenaline pumping, take him on an adventure, the likes of which he will never forget.

It should be noted that if your Boyfriend is a not so young, you should not involve extremely dangerous activity present ideas such as a tandem skydive, unless you know he is in good physical shape. You can be reasonably certain that he has never jumped from a plane soaring at 10,000 feet so at least skydiving is among the most original gift ideas for men you can think of. The whole experience lasts just over an hour, the bulk of which is taken up with instructors describing in great detail the jump as well as giving advice and warnings on safety. Once your boyfriend jumps, he will be attached to the instructor. What follows is 30 seconds of freefall. At this point, we could use poetic license to describe how allowing yourself to fall like this is the ultimate in freedom and enables you to be at peace as well as possibly being terrified. Instead, we’ll just tell you that you’ll have to experience it yourself to fully understand.

Another one of the adventurous Christmas gift ideas for men on offer is the opportunity to fly your own aircraft. There are a host of centers around the UK that enable men to enjoy an Advanced Aerobatic Flying Experience. This may not be among the most romantic gifts for him but it is one of the most welcome. Best of all, no flight experience is necessary to enjoy soaring through the air. The instructor teaches students how to fly the craft and demonstrates several maneuvers. The student watches, learns and repeats. The entire flight lasts for approximately half an hour. If your man does not like the idea of controlling the plane, he can decide to avoid that part of the experience and simply enjoy the ride.

To top off your list of adventurous gift ideas for boyfriends, consider sending him off for a bungee jump. This death-defying activity has grown exponentially in popularity in the last number of years with would-be daredevils allowing a complete stranger to tie what amounts to a rubber band around the waist before jumping off a platform some 200 feet in the air. What follows is total freefall with the bungee rope stopping you from hitting the ground. It is also possible to purchase bungee jumps that are 300 feet high. If that seems too much, bear in mind that it’s only about 4 seconds worth of freefall. If you are tired of hearing your man talk like he some sort of Universal Soldier, test his mettle with gifts for him such as a bungee jump or skydive to see if he is as tough as he thinks he is.

In all seriousness, adventurous Christmas presents for men are supposed to be enjoyable, not some crazy test of bravery. If he is old, infirm or has heart problems, none of the above experiences are for him. However, if he is relatively young and strong, these amazing gifts are an opportunity for him to experience life’s wilder side before he gets too old. Such heart stopping adventure days are one of the best ways of experiencing what life has to offer and your boyfriend will love you for it.
