Perfect Man Cave Gift Ideas
Everyone likes having some personal space – even your favorite guy! Man caves are mini getaways anywhere inside or outside of the house, and it’s important that it’s his own place. It gives him the space to decompress and share good times with friends. Man caves tend to include lots of entertainment accessories. They often have bars, some great books around and plenty of places to sit. Are you looking for the perfect gift for a guy with a man cave? Give him something that’ll help him relax and enjoy his space even more. These ideas from Pottery Barn will inspire you as you get started.
Dependable Drinks
Your guy might have a mini-fridge, a full fridge, a kegerator or a wine fridge in his cave. If he’s big on serving beverages, he’ll appreciate cocktail, martini and beer glasses to round out his collection. Glassware is endlessly useful in a man cave. And, it’s also a way to add some pizzazz to his space. Choose monogrammed options for the guy with classic style. Or, select something with an etched motif, like a stag or cool crest, for an interesting touch atop the bar. Include an ice bucket with his gift of glasses and don’t forget the tongs!
You can also help your favorite guy keep the iced tea, spring water or lemonade flowing with a beverage dispenser. It’ll help him entertain on game day. Everyone can grab their own drinks, along with some tasty snacks. Plus, he’ll have fun creating his own specialty themed drinks for friends to pour. Choose a dispenser that looks like an oversized mason jar that fits with the decor in his space. Does he have a garage theme in his cave? A galvanized metal dispenser will fit right in.
Art for the Ages
Do you want to help your guy fill up his cave walls? When his man cave is his escape, think poster-size framed art of his favorite vacation spots around the world. Artwork depicting his favorite seasons can help him set a relaxing tone in the space. His preferred type of architecture or his favorite animals also make great subjects that add a masculine, artistic touch. Other gift ideas that help him spruce up those walls include floating shelves for his new glassware, or something sculptural and textural, like vintage metal gas station signs.
Fun with Four-legged Friends
If your guy has his mascot by his side at all times, he’ll love helping his best friend feel right at home in the cave. Gift him some pet goodies. His favorite pup will enjoy hanging out in a “mutt cave” when there’s easy access to faux fur pet beds. A toy basket, food canister, pet bowl and leash holder specially dedicated to the cave create a cozy space where the furriest family member can relax.
Leather Rules
It’s durable. It’s what he loves to sit on. Genuine leather is wonderful for a man cave thanks to the welcoming patina it develops. For the ultimate man cave gift, he’ll appreciate a leather club chair, recliner or armchair. These are especially great special occasion gifts if he loves reading or watching the game in his cave.
Life's a Party
What are some good ingredients for a man cave party? Think of things that inspire a little friendly competition and conversation. A dart board provides a fun interlude when commercials are on during a show. A set of chips for poker night is ideal for a game-loving guy. If you know he’ll appreciate something substantial and spectacular, a pool table will delight him. If he already has a pool table, consider a cue stick wall rack or a tennis cover to convert the table into another game. This helps him achieve a game room vibe in his cave
Decorative Extras
If your favorite guy is the man who has everything, look for unique and decorative gifts. They’re a wonderful way for him to add color and texture to his space. If he collects vintage vinyl, retro-styled turntables look oh-so-cool and make playing music easy. Is he into geology? Geode bookends will add a bright but perfectly cave-themed touch to his bookshelves.
If you want to gift him some useful extras for staying connected in his castle, go with smartphone accessories. A mini-speaker or charging box for a room of his own is a definite way to keep his cave casually cool.
