Looking for a gift for a tall man? Here are 5 ideas

Not sure how to treat a tall boyfriend, dad or brother? Here are 5 gift ideas he’ll actually use: from a massage and an extra-long duvet to elongated clothing that finally fits him.

In short

A tall man will be happy with a gift that deals with his height: a massage voucher for an aching back, an elongated T-shirt or hoodie, a longer duvet, a bigger bath towel or a monitor stand. If you don’t know which clothing length to choose, go for a TallGuys gift card, which is valid for a year.

Is there a giant of a man in your life you’re looking for a gift for? Racking your brains over what to give him so that he likes it, actually uses it and you don’t embarrass yourself? Whether it’s your boyfriend, a friend, your dad or your brother, we have a few gift ideas your tall loved one is sure to appreciate.

1. A massage voucher

Ducking under low door frames and grab handles on public transport, hunching over the computer to see it properly while working. That’s everyday reality for tall people. No wonder their backs often hurt. A massage voucher is a great gift that will help ease the pain and let them relax a little. A massage chair or a massage set for home is also a good investment.

2. Clothes that finally fit him

Tall men often struggle to find the right sizes and cuts in ordinary clothes shops. Make things easier for your loved one and buy him a quality piece that fits him well. You can’t go wrong with an elongated T-shirt from TallGuys: it covers what it should, looks stylish and is made from soft organic cotton. Of course, you can also go for elongated hoodies or another piece for his wardrobe. But if you’re worried your choice won’t hit the right note, buy a gift card instead and let him pick whatever catches his eye.

Which clothing length to choose when you don’t know his height?

With TallGuys elongated clothing, you choose the length by height, not by size. Men’s T-shirts and trousers mostly come in Classic for 175–190 cm, Long for 185–200 cm and Extra Long for 200–215 cm. You can work out the size from clothes he already wears, and our guide how to choose the right size will help too. If you’re not sure about either, a gift card is the safest choice.

3. An extra-long duvet

Nothing beats a practical gift! Most ordinary duvets are too short for a man of above-average height, and sleeping with your feet sticking out isn’t exactly the most pleasant experience. Why not make his nights more comfortable with an extra-long duvet he can happily wrap himself up in and enjoy undisturbed sleep? And if you really want to splash out, buy him a longer bed.

4. Elongated towels

They come in just as handy as a longer duvet. Standard-size towels are often too small for tall men, who can’t dry themselves properly with them. The answer is a bigger bath towel, ideally made of terry cloth, which is absorbent and soft. Add a custom name patch and you’ve got a gift made just for him.

5. A monitor stand

If your loved one spends a lot of time at the computer, he quite possibly has to hunch over all the time to see it properly. That can lead to unpleasant neck and back pain. A monitor stand is made to make his life easier. With it, he can set his monitor or laptop at eye level, which helps him sit up straight. An office chair with adjustable height will also serve him well.

Height is no limit to personal style. On the contrary, it can be seen as a unique defining feature. And with a gift that has his height in mind, you’ll remind him of that. Because there’s no better fashion accessory than good self-confidence.
