Men love to be appreciated. This is especially true on the occasion of their birthday. In fact, if there is one tailor-made day of the year to show appreciation, respect or love for the man in your life, his birthday is that day.

There are a lot of ways to make someone feel appreciated on their birthday. For example, a kind word or gesture is a wonderful way to show how much you care. Another way is through a phone call or a visit. Of course, one of the most common ways is through the art of gift giving.

Make Him Feel One-of-a-Kind

Everybody - man or woman - likes to be made to feel special now and again. For men, they like to know that they are valuable in some unique way. A man likes to feel that he is a contributor - that he makes a difference in someone else's life.

And, even for the most humble of men, every man has a little cowboy spirit in him. He likes to swoop in, do a good deed some way, and then ride off into the sunset a hero. He likes to feel one-of-a-kind, as if nobody else could quite do it the way he can.

Unique Birthday Gift for a Man: 5 Tips for Getting Him the Right Gift

If you are interested in giving the special man in your life a unique birthday gift, here are 5 tips for getting him just what he will enjoy and appreciate:

1. Buttons and switches are a good thing: Guys like gadgets. Even if the man you care about is not a techno-geek, he will definitely appreciate anything with lots of switches and buttons. And a close cousin to the electronic gadget is the tool. So, if your guy is more of an outdoors type, find an impressive tool (like a multi-functional tool such as a pocketknife with a built-in laser pointer) to give him. He will love it.

2. Durable, tough and long-lasting are excellent buzzwords to guide your way: As you shop for the right gift for him, look for any buzzwords that describe the product as being built-to-last. Why? Men love to own things that seem to be built to last forever.

3. Avoid getting him what's hot: You have probably seen infomercials or magazine ads for the latest gizmo this or doohickey that. The biggest mistake that many gift-givers make is to try to buy that type of gift for the man in their life for his birthday. Instead, men love receiving gifts that they feel are uniquely chosen for them.

4. Quality is always a plus: Similar to long-lasting, men appreciate anything that bespeaks quality. Oddly enough, this is true even for gifts that they may never actually end up using. It is just a good feeling to know that you own something of high quality.

5. High maintenance is bad: Avoid giving him a gift that will require a lot of upkeep for him to continue to use regularly. On the other hand, anything that is self-cleaning, self-starting, or otherwise maintenance free is always a plus.

Let these 5 tips guide you to getting him the right unique gift for his birthday. He will feel very much appreciated by you as a result.
