Is your man's birthday on the horizon, and you're still struggling to figure out the best birthday gifts for him? Finding a great birthday gift for the special man in your life can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be. We've curated a list of 81 awesome birthday gifts for him so you can easily find the birthday gift your man will love.


Here is a list of the 81 best men's birthday gifts.

 

All great gifts are personalized in one way or another. In other words, a great gift has special significance or meaning to its receiver. Tellinga creates one of a kind, personalized gifts. Customers submit their story, and Tellinga's team of talented illustrators churn out greeting-card size postcards, which are placed in a 6" x 9" brown grocery bag style envelope with the customer's address used as the return address. Before your card is shipped to its desired location, a fundraising stamp, and custom wax seal are applied. Afterward, the digital copies of the story are uploaded in the "Download Your Story" section of the website and also sent to the buyer's email to share online with family and friends.

Here's how it works:

  1. Select your story length (options-one day, one week, two weeks, or one month)

  2. Upload a photo and add a description of your desired story (you can reminisce a memory from your past or create a brand-new story)

  3. Their team of talented illustrators and artists will start working on your story.

  4. A few days later, the designated recipient of the story will start receiving unique hand-drawn greeting card-sized illustrations every other day in their mailbox until the package ends. Every card shipped helps raise funds to fight Alzheimer's disease, support breast cancer research, or helps treat those impacted with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
