Men need blankets too. Fortunately, there are a whole host of blankets that are ideal for men, and will make great gifts for any male relative or friend.

If the man you know is particularly into outdoor pursuits; perhaps enjoys climbing, trekking or camping, then a blanket is a must and there are a number of choices to suit this need. For camping, there is no better solution than the nylon based picnic blanket. With its waterproof under sheet, but soft and comfortable top sheet, these specially designed blankets are ideal for dusty or slightly damp outdoors conditions. They can make brilliant mats for the central part of a tent, or can be taken out on treks to provide an easy and comfortable place to sit down and relax. These blankets can also be printed via heat transfer, so it is easy to add a personal message. A great gift for married couples, perhaps, a wife might like to include a message of encouragement and support to her husband on his outdoor adventures.

Otherwise, the camouflage colour blankets are great for men on camping trips as well as for a boy's bedroom. Moms might want to make sure their little one is snug and warm at night, but - you know how boys can be - they still want to keep a tough look. The camouflage nature print blanket is the perfect solution. It can be easily tucked at the foot of a bed, for a little one to pull over himself if it gets a bit chilly in the night. At the same time, the camouflage colour means he can play Army and feel tough, whilst Mom knows he's nicely snug and warm enough at all times. This blanket also rolls up tight and includes its own ties and strong carry handle - making it perfect for slumber parties away from home.

Perhaps your special man likes to drive, but owns a less than reliable car. Keeping a blanket in the car is very advisable during winter, just in case of break-downs - it is important to be able to keep warm whilst waiting for road-side recovery. The camouflage nature print blanket is ideal for this. It is warm, but rolls tight and can easily be kept in a car boot at all times without getting in the way or taking up too much space. Alternatively, a throw blanket is particularly warm, especially a thick weave material such as the Modocino throw blanket. These can also double up to be useful in the car if you own a pet - protect those car seats and carpets from mud and animal hairs.

For jet-set men, let them know you are thinking of them with a travel blanket package. This includes a blanket, specially shaped pillow and eye mask - everything he needs for a comfortable and relaxing commute. There will be no more need to get an air-stewards attention for a scratchy aeroplane blanket and the package will easily fit into a small hold-all bag
