Looking for a birthday gift for a man

Every year, it’s the same question: what birthday gift will you find this time? We know it’s not easy to choose a men’s gift that will genuinely please him while still feeling original — especially one he hasn’t already received. When time is short and inspiration is running low, gift shopping can quickly turn into a real headache.

Luckily, you’re in the right place. We’ve put together a carefully curated selection to help you find the very best ideas for a man’s birthday. Whether you’re shopping for your husband, boyfriend, father, grandfather, brother or colleague, explore our top gift ideas — you’re bound to find the perfect match.

Amikado: personalised birthday gifts for men

A birthday is without doubt the most important occasion for giving a gift. Throughout the year, there are plenty of moments to treat the men in your life — Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day or Christmas — but a birthday is the one date you simply can’t overlook.

So why settle for a standard present when you could choose something far more meaningful? Instead of the usual classics — perfume, clothes or chocolates — opt for a personalised gift. A guaranteed way to surprise and delight.

A made-to-measure men’s gift is a wonderful way to show how much thought you’ve put into the occasion. Whether it’s a beer glass engraved with his name, a photo print from a favourite holiday, or an embroidered apron, nothing feels more original and unique. You can be sure no one else will give him the same birthday gift. One of our most popular options is the personalised director’s chair, customised with a name or message on the canvas backrest. Another great idea for smokers is an engraved Zippo lighter, personalised with text or a photo.

As specialists in personalised birthday gifts, Amikado helps you make every celebration unforgettable. This year, give him a men’s gift created especially for him.

Finding the ideal gift for a man

To narrow down your choice, start by asking yourself a few simple questions. What are his interests? Does he enjoy sport, cooking, socialising with friends, or relaxing quietly at home? Identifying his hobbies will naturally guide you towards the right category of gift ideas.

If he enjoys comfort and wellbeing, consider a deluxe fleece blanket or a practical tray table for the sofa or bed. We also offer a selection of men’s bathrobes embroidered just for him, including hooded styles and kimono designs.

If he’s more sporty, a personalised reusable water bottle is both practical and eco-friendly — ideal for the gym or outdoor activities. An embroidered sports bag is another great option, perfect for carrying his gear in style.

If you’re thinking, “None of this really suits him — he’s more of a bon vivant who loves spending time with friends”, take a look at our range of engraved glasses: beer, whisky or wine glasses, all customised with your chosen text. Perfect for enjoying a drink in good company. And for keen cooks or barbecue fans, our embroidered personalised aprons are always a hit.

Best birthday gift ideas for your partner

When you’re in a relationship, there’s one men’s gift that simply can’t be forgotten — your partner’s birthday. Social media might remind us of friends’ birthdays, but for your boyfriend or husband, this is the date that truly matters. The key to finding the ideal gift lies in the attention you give to choosing it.

A personalised gift shows that you’ve taken the time to prepare something meaningful. If he spends a lot of time at work, an engraved pen featuring his name or your wedding date makes a thoughtful choice. Alternatively, a mouse mat printed with a photo of you as a couple or your family is perfect for home-working days.

To mark the occasion in style, a champagne gift set with an engraved bottle and glasses is a lovely way to celebrate together.

The ideal birthday gift for your dad

Is your dad’s birthday coming up and you’re short of ideas? We’re here to help. Our range includes plenty of thoughtful gifts suited not only to Father’s Day, but also perfect for his birthday. Because every dad deserves to feel special, we’ve created a “Super Dad” design available on mugs, trays, T-shirts and more.

If he often wears suits, engraved cufflinks make an elegant and original choice. You might also like our “We Are Family” or “Manga Family” collections, which allow you to recreate each family member as a personalised illustration — a gift idea that never fails to impress.

Gift ideas for a grandfather

Grandfathers deserve just as much attention on their birthday. Whether he’s a young grandfather or a more senior one, explore our selection of gift ideas for men aged 50 to 90. One of our bestsellers is the authentic newspaper published on the recipient’s day of birth, a nostalgic gift that brings back fond memories.

For gardening enthusiasts, an engraved slate garden sign makes a charming present. If your grandfather enjoys humour, a personalised “Best Grandfather” diploma or a digitally illustrated portrait created from a photo is sure to raise a smile. A guaranteed winning gift idea.

All men’s birthday gift ideas by age

If you’re shopping for a colleague or someone you don’t know very well, choosing by age group can make things easier. A birthday gift for a man in his thirties will naturally differ from one suited to a 70-year-old man.

We’ve also organised our ideas by trends and best sellers for each age group. An engraved Ecocube, for example, is a trendy and eco-friendly choice for a younger man, while a book featuring events from a specific birth year is ideal for a milestone birthday.

Another versatile option is the personalised wine and pétanque set, including a customised bottle, triplette and wooden gift box. And for your boyfriend or husband, a three-piece birthday wine set with a bottle and two engraved glasses is the perfect excuse to enjoy a moment together.

Small-budget men’s birthday gifts

You want to make him happy without spending a fortune? No problem. We offer a wide selection of affordable gifts that are perfect for birthdays — and you can also browse by price range.

You’ll find plenty of men’s gift ideas under €20, proving that a smaller budget doesn’t mean a less suggestive gift. Personalised mugs or enamel cups with fun designs are always popular.

For your dad, a “Super Dad” mug or adventure-themed mug with your own message makes a thoughtful choice. For your partner, a photo-engraved keyring is a meaningful keepsake. And for a pétanque fan, a personalised pouch for carrying his triplette is both practical and original.

If he’s into high-tech gifts, consider a personalised Bluetooth speaker or a portable power bank engraved with his name. And for a timeless classic, an Opinel No. 8 knife with laser engraving is a practical gift that always impresses.
