Husband Appreciation Day is coming up on April 19, 2025. Husbands and their sacrifices are often overlooked and underappreciated. So let us take this day to show them how much we love them, respect them, and appreciate them. Husband Appreciation Day is a day to cherish your husband, so make it extra special for him!
Husband Appreciation Day
This year Husband Appreciation Day lands on April 19. It is the third Saturday of every April. While it is not a recognized holiday (neither is Wife Appreciation Day), it has been celebrated since the early 2000s. Husband Appreciation Day is a day for your husband. So, go above and beyond and do something great for him and make it extra special.
So, I gathered some great gifts and great ideas to help you put together something special to show your husband how much you love him.
By the way, I know there are links to different items, I do not have affiliate links. These are purely ideas.
Great Gifts For Husband Appreciation Day
1. Tools
If your husband is like mine, tools are a great gift. From power tools, tool sets, tool boxes, tools for cars, you can get them something they like. Any store like Lowes, Home Depot, or local hardware stores will have a variety of tools. Some good tool brands are: Ryobi. Craftsman, Black & Decker, Kobalt, Stanley, Milwaukee, DeWalt.
2. Car Care Kit
Does your man love taking care of his car? Then get him a car care kit! There are plenty of great car kids and you can get stuff like wipes, soap, towels, washing mitts, tire cleaner, etc. A car detailing kit is perfect for anyone guy who wants to have a car that shines!
3. Shaving Kit
Just like we like to take care of our skin while shaving, so do many men! And they definitely should since it is their face. You can get some great shaving kits. Some of the nicer ones run a bit more, but they have top tier shaving supplies. And there are many great ones from expensive, to mid-range, and cheaper.
4. Man Crates
My husband loved his man crates. He had one where he could make his own wooden pipe and one where he got to make a knife. There are so many different ones. From games, drinks, cooking, snacks, smokers, and more! There is something he is sure to love!
5. Workout Supplies
Is your husband someone who enjoys the gym? Then get him some gym gear. Does he need a weight rack, weights, or protein powders? Get that for him! Grab him some workout clothes, creatine, protein bars, really anything he uses.
6. More Clothes
Clothes are always a great gift. My husband loves his Wrangler work flannels. I’ve also gotten him special boot socks, new boots, dress shirts. Start adding to your husband’s collection. Pick out stuff he will like. Even if it’s a bathrobe and slippers.
7. Snack Basket
Make a snack basket for your husband! It’s basically a gift basket. Add his favorite soda, adult beverages, snacks, sweets, candy, etc. This is a him basket that he can dig into when he is watching TV, playing games, or just needs a pick-me-up.
8. Decanter
There are so many different decanters you can get for your husband’s favorite adult beverage. And they look really nice. My husband loves his ship and map decanter.
9. Outdoors Gear
Is your husband an outdoorsman? Get him some hiking gear! Or you can get him hunting gear. Does he like target practice? Then get him arrows, axes, or ammo.
10. Games/Tech
Have a gamer or someone who loves tech? A gift card won’t go wrong here to like Best Buy or Steam. You can also buy games and things directly if you know what they want. Or give your husband a budget and allow him to pick things out directly.
Do Something Nice For Your Man On Husband Appreciation Day
11. Let Him Rest
Our husband’s work hard and carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, often in silence. Let him have a day to rest. Let him sleep in, don’t throw a honey do list at him or nag, just let him rest, let him be.
12. Put Something Sexy On And…You Know
Today is your husband’s day, I’m sure he’d love for you to be intimate with him and to do this act of love with him. Put on a baby doll, a Hooter’s outfit, some stockings…whatever he is into, or just surprise him naked. Just initiate and show enthusiasm for your husband.
13. Make His Favorite Foods
Make your husband his favorite breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. My mom said “the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Feed that man! If you don’t cook then learn how to cook that 1 special meal or order out. Surprise him with his favorite restaurant, just get that man some food.
14. Let Him Do What He Wants
Today is his day. Unless he wants to specifically spend the day with you, you don’t have to be involved a whole lot. Does he wanna play video games in his underwear? Let him! Does he want to work on the car with his buddies? Great, let him. Does he want to shoot some pool or go fishing? Give him a kiss and send him out the door. This is his day.
15. Remind Him How Much You Love And Respect Him
Both men and women need respect, but men specifically feel loved when respected. It let’s them know they’re doing a good job and that is the basis of “their question” (Read Wild At Heart by John Eldridge to understand your man better.) Tell him how much you are thankful for him. For taking care of you and the family. For providing, for always being there, tell him you respect him, and love him. Shy? Write him a love letter and tell him. Just let him know.
Make Husband Appreciation Day A Day To Remember
Men are constantly under fire at every turn. And it’s hard on them. They need to know that you are always by their side, always loving them, and always cherishing them. Just like we want to be loved and desired and protected, so do they. And they deserve that. So make Husband Appreciation Day the best day ever for your husband!
