Today, gift-giving has become a balancing act between desires and possessions. The pressure to find the perfect gift, especially for people who seem to have everything, can feel very overwhelming. With this, we’ve put together a shopping guide on some gifts you can buy for men, especially men who seem to have it all.
Experiential gifts
Consider giving experiences such as tickets to a sports event, concert, theater show or a unique adventure like hot air ballooning, racing cars or a gourmet cooking class. These create memorable moments rather than just material possessions. For example, events such as the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens, a hot air ballooning excursion over the picturesque landscapes of the New Territories, a thrilling day of racing cars at the Sideways Driving Club or a gourmet cooking class led by a master chef, where they can learn to prepare authentic Cantonese cuisine.
