When it comes to man cave gifts there are really only a handful of categories that you need to worry about
Because every man caver will have a slightly different theme, however, the same kind of topics apply if you’re looking to get someone a gift for their man cave.
As man cave owners ourselves we want to help you give the best gift possible to another man cave owner, so what we’ve done is listed all of the best man cave gifts categories that you can explore when thinking of giving a gift to a man caver, If you want to skip straight to a certain category then I’ve linked them below

Wall Art Gift Ideas
When it comes to man cave wall art there are lots of ideas to choose from. And to get an idea of what you should be buying as a gift then you’ll need to understand the man cave itself, it’s the same for all of the categories we mentioned earlier really.
If you’re looking to buy man cave gifts for someone and they either already have it or don’t particularly want it then you’ve wasted your time really.
So, what I would do is get to know the man cave you’re buying a gift for, ask the man caver lots of questions about his man cave and wall art and see if this is a gift idea that would be beneficial to them
There’s lots of main categories of wall art, but the main ones are;
Is your man caver into movies? Then there’s hundreds of movie posters to choose from especially on Amazon, or are they more of a car kind of person and a car poster would be more beneficial? Find out your man cavers niche and likes then take a look through some of the poster options available.
Canvas
A canvas is kind of the next step up from a poster in my eyes, they add a bit more depth into the room and aren’t so 2D, you can also get the canvas art that links together to create one giant piece of canvas art which is cool.
Metal art is a lot like the posters we mentioned before but sat on a thing metal plate instead, aesthetically they’re pretty cool so just keep an eye out for these and see if they’re something that would be in keeping with the man caves theme.
Sports memorabilia is such a personal thing so be careful if you’re going to choose this as the man cave gift. You need to find out who the person in control of the man cave supports and their favourite players, old or new, that they like following.
Because trust me, if you buy the wrong teams memorabilia or the wrong player the gift could be burned in front of you and that wouldn’t be a pretty sight!
Decor Gift Ideas
Now, again don’t be disheartened if this isn’t the niche you can buy a gift for either, the decor of a man cave is one of the most important things to the man caver
So sometimes even just suggesting that they should change their decor is not a great idea. But what you can do is add to their decor and buy a man cave gift that fits in really nicely.
To do this you really have to understand the angle they’ve gone for with the man cave and come up with gift ideas that help to enhance the room
Some examples of man cave decor are;
There’s so many cool ideas on the web hen it comes to man cave lighting, and it all depends on the theme of the man cave once again.
If they’ve got quite an industrial themed man cave then these industrial pipe lights might fit in really nicely or alternatively if it’s more of a console gamers room then a big neon sign never goes a miss!
A really cool piece of lighting you can buy them is these lighting tiles that they can change colour from their phones!
– Again a man cave gift idea that needs some proper research before purchasing, because most of the time a man caves furniture is the rugged old stuff that you don’t want in the house any more.
However… If you’re clever you can get a man cave gift that helps to enhance the room for example a display cabinet for all of their figurines they collect or movies they want to keep that just don’t look nice stored inside the home usually
Another idea is purchasing them a big poker table or some kind of games table that will enhance the room, pool table, foosball table, air hockey, that kind of thing.
Paint colours / Wallpaper /
Lastly I wanted to talk about the wallpaper, wall fixtures and paint colours.
Again, get this wrong and you could annoy a man caver more than you’ll ever know, so do your research and ask them questions about their ideas for paint colour, wallpaper or wall fixtures.
A nice example is this vintage wood effect wall paper that turns your man cave into a rustic man cave
Entertainment Gift Ideas
Sometimes everything in the man cave is built around the entertainment centre
So it’s vital to understand that this man cave gift idea needs to be spot on if you want them to truly appreciate what you’ve got them
There’s a few main areas to consider if you’re buying an entertainment based gift and they are;
TV / Screens
A TV is where all the magic happens, especially if you’re watching a sports game or movie, so if you’re going to gift someone a TV or a projector screen then do your research, measure up and make sure it’s going to be the optimum size for the room.
Too small and no one will see what’s going on, too big and it’ll look ridic… never mind actually go big or go home!
Console / Media player
This is the thing your husband / partner is spending 90% of their time on in their man cave, it’s their entertainment system, whether that be a Playstation 5, a computer or a music system it’s something that is going to be an all singing all dancing piece of kit.
And if you really want to win the heart of your man cave owner, then you could always buy them the newest console out there for their man cave.
Alternatively you could always buy them the latest games or accessories for these systems.
Non electronic entertainment
This goes back to my earlier point about a pool table, table foosball, ping pong and so on
Sometimes an entertainment system doesn’t have to be electronic, and often a great gift idea is to give the gift of activity and fun with one of the above.
Bar Gift Ideas
Knowing someone who has a bar in their garden, shed or garage is a real win in life
What you need to do is make sure you keep getting them really cool gifts so that you’re invited to all of their parties and gatherings!
So below are some of the best gift ideas we can recommend a man cave bar;
Opening a beer can be a bit of a boring task, but just imagine if you could live this simple task up with a comic gift!
There’s things like a bottle cap gun & A bottle cap collectors that turn this simple task into something quite fun
Why give someone a really unoriginal gift for their man cave bar when you can give them unique ice moulds
The best bit is you’ll definitely have to be invited back so you can see the ice moulds in action!
They’re really fun and easy to use which makes for the perfect gift.
Unique Drink Gifts
Don’t just take a bottle round to a man cave bar as a gift, take a unique drinks gift that they’ll have never seen before
Like this customised jerry can that holds a bottle of whiskey and cans of soda and a glass to go with it too!
Again, it’s unique, fun and they won’t be disappointed
Garage Gift Ideas
To most, their garage is their storage sanctuary, this is where you keep all of the dirty stuff that is still vitally important to any home, like the vacuum or sandpaper!
But when you’re thinking of buying a gift for someone with their man cave in the garage its important to remember that this space is their sanctuary and any gift should help them make their garage that little bit better
Some examples are;
Portable Garage Light
One thing I always struggle with in my garage is the lighting, so having a strong portable garage light is a a gift that i’d definitely like to receive!
Magnetic Tool Holder
Another of the best man cave gifts would be a magnetic tool holder, these make it really easy to store tools in your garage and allow you to free up space in your toolbox.
Not only that but they look pretty cool too!
Workshop Inspired Coffee Mug
If the man caver you’re buying a gift for is a bit of a grease monkey, then a retro Castrol coffee mug could be a great idea for a man cave gift, as long as they don’t mistake it for an actual oil tin…
