Gift Cards for Your Husband: 18 Ideas for Every Occasion

Husbands are notoriously hard to shop for. Many will say they "don't need anything" — and then keep using a ten-year-old wallet. A gift card lets you gift the upgrade while he picks the details.

Start with three questions

1. What does he complain about? A worn-out bag, slow earphones, uncomfortable shoes.
2. What does he do when he has free time? Cricket, trekking, cooking, gaming.
3. What have you both wanted to do together? A weekend away, a concert, a fancy dinner.
