They're not as hard to shop for as you think.

Men are notoriously difficult to shop for — or so you might think.

The reality is, men can be quite easy to shop for, once you know what type of man you're dealing with. Whether he's a master of the great outdoors or a wizard at the grill, a sports enthusiast, an avid traveler, or a combination of them all (Does that make him the most interesting man in the world?) we have the gift to match every type of man.

The Outdoorsman

Whether camping or hiking, on a long fishing trip or a mountain bike ride, snacks are a must. For the rugged outdoorsman's birthday, upgrade his snack game with some gourmet offerings. Even the rugged like a little gourmet from time to time. In addition to GORP ("good ol' raisins and peanuts"), this snack basket has got everything he may need to tuck into his backpack for a tasty pick-me-up in between summiting peaks.

The Grillmaster

A man is master of his own grill — but that does not mean he doesn't appreciate spicing up the repertoire. No matter when he was born, add a little sizzle to his birthday with this Summer Grilling Gift Box. This succulent set of marinades includes a Charred Pineapple Bourbon grilling sauce, as well as a Bacon Chipotle BBQ sauce, plus a spice rub and a wing sauce. And who doesn't like to sauce up their wingies?

The Wine Aficionado

If wine and cheese are kind of his thing, then give the man what he loves. Since it's his birthday, however, you may want to think a little fancier than usual. This Deluxe Antipasto Assortment with Wine will satisfy his sophisticated wine palette, as well as his stomach. Three bottles of wine are paired with different cheeses, cured meats, and delectable spreads.

Mr. Fix It

He's in your speed dial because this man is great with his hands and can fix anything — and he loves to be the one you call in a desperate time of need. For his birthday, upgrade his garage gear to something more sophisticated, yet still durable and rugged. For that, Carhartt is king, and this Legacy Embroidered Gear Bag is both heavy duty and stylish — like him.

The Tailgater

For this man, game day is a religious experience. If you're not going to the game on his birthday, then you can certainly make the spread at home one that he'll remember — but chips and salsa are so passé. Instead, score some points with this Supreme Meat and Cheese Gift Box, which includes an assortment of sausages, cheeses, spreads, and crackers. With the right beer (even wine, yes, wine and tailgating is a thing) and a home team win, this will be a birthday victory for everyone.
