Purchasing clothing can be difficult if when you don't know his measurements.
Coming up with Christmas-gift ideas can be a challenging task. It can be made more difficult if the gift is for a big and tall man, especially if the gift giver wants to purchase a wardrobe item but does not have the man's specific measurements. There are some gifts that don't require the gift giver to ask potentially embarrassing or personal questions about size but can still enhance the man's wardrobe.
Wardrobe Accessories
You can buy neckties in extra-long sizes. As with regular-sized ties, they come in a variety of fabrics, colors and patterns. These can be an appropriate gift for a professional man who wears ties to the office on a regular basis. Other wardrobe accessories for the big and tall man might include a pair of of suspenders, leather driving gloves, scarves or hats. Overcoats, robes, pajamas and rain gear can be purchased in plus-size ranges and do not require you to know his exact measurements.
Jewelry
Consider jewelry as a Christmas gift option for the big and tall man. Cuff links and tie clips are one-size-fits-all. Watches can be purchased with over-sized bands with links that can then be shortened or lengthened as needed. Open-ended bracelets can stretch to fit various wrist sizes. Many necklaces can be purchased up to 30 inches long. They come in masculine patterns and may be made of gold, silver, stainless steel or other metals. If the man has one or both ears pierced, earrings are another option.
Gift Certificates
Big and tall men may have a difficult time finding clothes that fit both their size and body shape correctly. As a result, they may find themselves either wearing ill-fitting clothing or having clothing custom tailored to obtain proper fit. For Christmas giving, consider purchasing a gift certificate from a local tailor or to a store that specializes in big and tall sizes.
Gift Baskets
Theme-based gift baskets are a popular Christmas gift idea. Many retailers offer different types of baskets that may include a selection of specialty chocolates, coffees, liqueurs, spreads or fruits. If you know what type of treats the big and tall man you are shopping for prefers, have one designed for his specific tastes. You can also put together a gift basket made up of nonedible items such as sports paraphernalia, books, music or whatever other interests he might have.
