Surprise Your Favorite Guy With One of These Small Gifts

By Margherita Cole on July 29, 2020

Guys—no matter their age or relation to you—are often the hardest ones to shop for. This can make gift-giving occasions like birthdays and holidays stressful. Never fret. My Modern Met Store boasts a wide variety of small, unique gifts that guys are sure to love at any time of the year.

Shopping for a guy with an artistic streak? The Bob Ross Mug is a great way to inspire his mornings. Designed by creative label Unemployed Philosophers Guild, this cup features a portrait of the beloved TV painter Bob Ross. Just add a hot beverage to the mug and a landscape magically appears in the background. Another great way to treat an artsy fella is with some new art supplies. Viviva Colorsheets provides an assortment of 16 transparent watercolors in the form of a small, portable booklet. To get started, the artist simply has to run a wet brush over the pages of color.

Or, if you want to give your guy a purely fun gift, games and puzzles are the way to go. Animal lovers will love the Small Wooden Dog Stack Game. It's like your classic Jenga game but played in reverse, where the goal is to stack the Shiba Inu-shaped pooches as high as possible. Similarly, another fantastic wooden toy is the adorable Cubebot by designer David Weeks. This charming action figure is modeled after a robot and inspired by the “complex joinery” of Japanese Shinto Kumi-ki puzzles. Its elastic frame allows it to be positioned in dozens of different poses, allowing for numerous photo opportunities.
