Everyone knows somebody who is a pain in the rear end to get out of the house. They would instead rather read, watch a movie, do some kind of self-care routine, or just sleep…literally anything but go out for drinks or be in a social setting. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, but when it comes time to give them a gift, it usually gets pretty tough to figure out what they would want or use.

Most of the time, this genre of a man would stick his nose up at the idea of getting a table at a fancy establishment or spending an arm and leg on new designer clothes – but would stick his nose right into fresh scented candles, a gourmet roast of espresso, the latest editorials, and the best soaps money can buy. See, they prefer the luxuries of relaxation, not the luxuries of late-stage capitalism.

If reading that somebody comes to mind, this gift guide covers all the bases for introverts, homebodies, and guys who appreciate the finer and simpler things in life.
