>birthday coming up >friends and family ask me what I want as gifts >NoIdea.jpg >search "gifts for men" >be bombarded with shit like "SUPER MASCULINE BEER & BACON SOAP" or metrosexual wristbands and numale widgets
For fuck sake, I just wanted some inspiration concerning things every young lad should have in his house, not a gay parade.
So Jow Forums, whats the essentials for a man who DOESN'T have everything yet?
And why are (((they))) pushing useless "hypermasculine" products?
and then when they struggle to pick out a card, they just put the money in your hand.
eventually your birthday is just 200 handshakes.

knives are always useful. I have never received a knife or knife accessory and been disappointed. I have at least 3 in my car alone, plus my EDC knife. sunglasses are in the same category assuming they're not super gay. can never have too many. Shoes are fun. Especially useful shoes like hiking boots, work boots, running shoes, lifting shoes, everyday kicks, fancy shoes. Again, hard to have too many. shirts and other clothing is cool because I hate shopping for clothes. Tools. Same as above, no such thing as enough.
as to why they're pushing hypermasculinity it's because basedboys have no sense of masculinity anymore. They cant do anything singlehandedly that gives them a sense of pride or accomplishment so they seek validation through projection of masculinity. Facial hair, a retreat towards traditionalism (see the fedora), but at the same time being a current year flabby basedboy.

Say that you want to hang out with them.

>whats the essentials for a man who DOESN'T have everything yet? a gun
Robert Morgan
Its bad luck to ask for a knife, but even worse luck to not pay some token for it
Isaac Scott
Get yourself some nice kitchen gear - knives, pots and pans, crockpot, etc.
Bentley Lewis
Well you can't really give someone a gun as a present. He has to go by himself and get loicence and shit.
Christopher Taylor
You give gifts to children. Adults shouldn't want for things you shameful display of a human.
Joseph Gonzalez
Actual gifts belong the trash bin, except gift cards or something. The stuff you care about is usually expensive and you buy those yourself, they're also up to personal taste.
What's wrong, we're not on r9k are we. Even I have a couple of frens.
Anthony White
>whats the essentials for a man who DOESN'T have everything yet? Art. Tools (in a broad sense). Gifts of experience.
Jordan Turner
These jewish corporate 'masculinity' trinkets are pathetic. How many sites, avatars and products do you see these days with a beard/mustache silhouette that is supposed to somehow imply 'rugged masculinity'. This is all jewish tricks to control real masculine fightback against them and try to divert the energy into corporatism, buying beard oil and having a plaid shirt and hipster haircut. It's a whole corporate artificial faux sub culture they created by hybridizing hipster, 'geek chic' and chad elements. These jews make me sick.
you can never have enough guns. if your family really loves you they will get you some nukes.

>Store gift cards Good goyim. Exchange your shekels for a iou coupon than expires and is restricted to my business interests.

This. If you are going to give a gift card, just give cash instead.

get a fermentation barrel and start making your own alcohol >save money >if ur gonna jew yourself atleast don't pay money for it >probiotic drinks that help you make kvass nigger
Christopher Cruz
I just gift my friends stupid shit that might have a practical application
Blake Thomas
I meant gift cards for a major retailer. Corporate gift cards that you get for holidays or something, yes those are tricks.
Parker Evans
Don't accept gifts anymore. The tradition doesn't make sense in modern times. It primarily leads to wasteful unnecessary purchases and stuffocation. Stop the bullshit and just have a party on your birthday, nothing else.
Grayson Long
Guess what OP its called growing up. Past a certain age people dont know what to buy you because you no longer live with them and arent as close to them.
One of the hallmarks of being an adult and growing up is that because you are earning money, most gift related activity should be you giving stuff. Just expect from now on that most gifts you will receive will either suck, or have a lame humorous twist to them.
Jack Reyes
Forgive , he clearly meant to say holy text. Obviously depending on regions this would change. In your case a Bible would be substituted with a Koran.
Hahaha perkele suomianon. With nukes hei me lenetään!
Leo White
Just ask for household shit or tools.

Should t you be huffing petrol and having some dreamstime, you superstitious fuck?
Jose Parker
I generally get gifted stuff I use, like socks, shirts underwear, sweaters, belts, chocolate, alchool, etc.
Brayden Flores
Best answer. If they insist on getting you something, . Also, tools are a great gift. Hell, my dad said the best gift he ever got was a holster for his pistol
Brody Long
Get your m8 a straight razor made in solingen. Very personal gift but also is not faggy and it's something that will last a lifetime. Males should only ever give each other knives, sharp high quality bladed items and weapons as gifts.
A safety razor. I got one last year, and not only is it superior to gillette cartridges and that bullshit and does a way better job, the razors are also dirt cheap.
Julian Reyes
What the fuck are you smoking. The bible is an analog form of entertainment and cultivation, just like videogames. There are plenty of bible threads on Jow Forums, too.

>implying corporatism is bad. What you call “corporatism” is what we classical fascists call capitalism. Fascist corporatism could better be described as Guildism, since it is based on worker self management, but not socialism. Plus syndicalism is a kaiserreich meme, and not a real ideology.
I always ask for books or a bookstore giftcard. Be careful though because normies can bring back the most awful trash if you don't give them a specific title you want. Craft beers and whisky are also always welcomed although numales have kind of ruined that over the past years.
Caleb Clark
Maxjej nice one
Leo Carter
I’ll start huffing petrol when the USA in 80% white again. So get busy fsggot
Brandon Bell
That's borderline hipster shit
Colton Gonzalez
corporatism is bad if the corporations are run by jews in a jewish system in goyim nations used to exploit goyim.

Michael Mitchell
That’s pretty obvious user. Any system run by Jews is bad. But some are also bad when run by gentiles. Such as capitalism and communism, which were invented by Jews. Maybe someone could mail you some fashy literature?
In america you would be suprised, im getting a gun for my 21st birthday, just as my brother and sister did.

(((they))) are so worried about anything like the lolocaust happening again that they will do anything to prevent it. This causes them to personally believe that global population reduction is necessary

>Not having defined interests >Being such a boring moron that you receive generic gifts
Elijah Green
You must be the most boring person with no hobbies if you don't know what you want. Like if you really did something in your spare time, you would certainly ask in regards to that.
Asher Hill
Archetypes like "hipster" are a social construct existing only in the mind of humans. I live in base reality, none of that shit is real here. The glasses are nice, so I wear them.
Zachary Wood
Fuck off doublenigger, it's rude to refuse gifts here, you HAVE to tell people what you wish for so they can get you something

I shot my first gun when I was 7 years old. Now that I’m 27, I still have that gun but would like to get a new one.

Nope, our system of prosperity for the (((2%))), destruction of the 56%, and poverty for the 42% is what capitalism looks like.

>In his book Waldfogel argues that purchasing gifts for other people is a "terrible way to allocate resources" as a result of gift givers' lack of knowledge of the recipients' true preferences. Waldfogel estimates that approximately $12 billion a year in the U.S. and $25 billion a year worldwide is misallocated in Yuletide giftgiving, which he calls "an orgy of wealth destruction". He also accounts for happiness, goodwill, and social bonding in the gift giving process, making the case that all three could be better served without gift giving.
