Cool Gifts for Guys on Any Budget
I’m gonna be brutally honest here. Finding cool gifts for guys can be hard. Am I right?
Men are the hardest people on the face of the earth to shop for. You might think you’ve found the ultimate gift for that person only to have them look you square in the face and tell you that they appreciate the item but don’t really need it. Not all men, but some…
Most guys are more into a useful gift. They typically prefer things they can use, can eat, things that entertain or things that make life easier. With that in mind, I’ve compiled this list to provide ideas for useful men’s gift ideas for any budget. As you scroll through the post the Christmas Gifts for Men pricing gets lower.

Flight Lessons-
If you have a small local airport around where you live, consider calling around to a few flight schools or check on your local GROUPON site and see if they are offering intro flight lesson gift certificates.

It’s a unique out of the box gift idea and shouldn’t cost over $100 for intro flight/lesson.
