Are gifts for men a sign of these more liberated times? - By: Rutland

Some research carried out in 2008 on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day celebrations tended to suggest that mothers rather than fathers received more attention on their respective days. It also indicated that families generally were more inclined to eat out on these days, suggesting perhaps that Mother’s Day rather than Father’s Day was still regarded as a day of rest and relaxation for the mother primarily. Mothers also tended to receive more gifts on their day than fathers which could also indicate a need to spoil them and redress the balance somewhat.

As far as gift buying and giving is concerned, with both men and women going out to work, it would seem odd that Mother’s Day should still be celebrated more than Father’s Day as one would suppose that the roles should now be more equal. However, there still seems to be a general opinion that although many women work, domestic chores are still very much down to them.

Conversely, there are an increasing number of websites that focus on advertising gifts for men which may suggest that perhaps women see gift giving as a more reciprocal exercise these days where the ‘new man’ is willing and able to help around the house. Also, these sites are quite inventive in what they offer. Gone is the quick fix of the pipe and slippers, and in comes the gourmet food, everything for alfresco dining, luxury end of the market grooming products, wine accessories, watches, jewellery and cufflinks, travel and sporting equipment, in fact everything for the successful, modern and perhaps more helpful male.

At Henry Tibbs we recognise that women want to buy luxurious gifts for the men in their lives and provide an extensive selection of unique gifts for men that will charm the most hardened heart and create a celebration to remember.
