This yearly recognition of the parent that birthed us is a great time to get in touch and let them know how much you care for them. But don’t just leave it at your mom; you can also use the day to remind the mother of your own child or your significant other why they are so special to you.

But as guys, sometimes we struggle with words, so why not show how much these special women in our lives mean by buying them a gift? Whether she’s into beauty, fashion, cooking, or gardening, there’s a gift for every woman in your life, no matter their age or interests. These gift ideas are sure to bring a smile to her daily and put you in the good books. To help you choose something she’ll love, here are our picks for the best Mother’s Day gifts this year and not a gift card insight.

It’s a simple game that involves asking someone never have I ever questions and then waiting to see what type of response they give. 

The “never have I ever” game lets us ask the questions we might be too cautious, afraid, or embarrassed to ask in an everyday setting. You would be surprised by what you don’t know about the people closest to you. Additionally, playing this game with acquaintances can be a serious eye-opener and enlighten you to what they’re really like.

never-have-i-ever-questions

At its core, the “never have I ever” game’s purpose is to get everybody involved laughing, thinking, cringing, and in general, having a good time. Yet, it can be challenging to achieve this perfect balance. For a game of “never have I ever” to be successful, it needs questions that aren’t too boring, dirty, mischievous, or scandalous. This is the family edition, but you can spice things up and make it more adults only if you like. 

The best way to play this party game is with alcohol, as people are much more open to talking about things after a few drinks. When you play “never have I ever” as a drinking game, whenever a question is asked, if you can reply to the question with yes, you take a shot or big sip of your drink and then must tell everyone what happened. You can even add dare questions to the equation, with someone who doesn’t want to answer the original question being forced to choose from a selection of dare questions instead. 

When it comes to the type of questions, you can ask anything. Dirty questions, personal questions, funny questions, random questions, and intriguing questions are just some of the genres of questions you can ask. There really is no limit to what you can ask, just as long as you tailor the questions to your audience. A dirty question might excite your girlfriend but not impress her parents. Just pick a good question and game night will be lots of fun. You might even get some funny answers like the time Ellen DeGeneres played the game on her show with Martha Stewart, Snoop Dogg, and Anna Kendrick. 

To help you achieve this elusive perfect balance, we’ve rounded up 240 of the best “never have I ever” questions out there. The next time you are considering hosting or attending a social gathering, you may want to refer to this list for some inspiration.

Rising sea levels, an increase in natural disasters, and the human race’s lack of care for the planet are all responsible for the demise of civilization. While that might sound a little dramatic, climate change is a thing, and if we don’t try and stop it the world as we know it could be over in a matter of decades. What does this have to do with survival books I hear you ask?

Well if the apocalypse is on its way, everyone is going to have to learn to live without electricity and other amenities. There will be no microwaves or ovens to cook food. There’s a fair chance the house you currently live in will be no longer, either destroyed by the environment or World War III. Humans will have to resort back to their primal instincts and start from scratch.

For some, this will be easy. People who enjoy living off the land or camping and hiking will have the necessary skills to survive. They know how to start a fire, construct a shelter, and set a trap to catch an animal. But for everyone else? Good luck.

That’s where survival books come in handy. These life-saving publications detail everything you need to know about making it in the real world. While my assumptions of the world ending might be premature, knowing how to survive in the wilderness is still a fantastic skill to possess. But if you have no clue what you are doing, at least you can read up on it with one of these great survival books.

This curated list of books covers many different scenarios and survival methods. They are written by former special forces members, wilderness experts, and survivalists. So no matter what situation you find yourself in, these books will be able to help, especially when the world finally turns to shit.

1. SAS Survival Handbook: The Ultimate Guide To Surviving Anywhere - John 'Lofty' Wiseman

Check Price

The third edition of the SAS Survival Handbook: The Ultimate Guide to Surviving Anywhere is chock full of survival tips. Written by John Lofty Wiseman, a former Special Forces master, this book covers everything from urban survival to fear management techniques when faced with disaster. Considering Wiseman has been in some pretty dodgy situations during his military career, it’s no surprise he’s an expert in these fields. 

The book is split into several sections dealing with subjects such as making camp, first aid skills, disaster survival, self-defense techniques, and how to navigate different climates and terrains. A classic survival guide, the SAS Survival Handbook has received rave reviews, with Outside magazine claiming it is “a classic outdoor manual [that] addresses every conceivable disaster scenario. Don’t leave home without it.” Hard to argue with a statement like that. 

2. Survivability for the Common Man - Dave Canterbury

Dave Canterbury is a name you might be familiar with. The survival expert has appeared on several survival-themed TV shows, including Discovery Channel’s Dual Survivor and National Geographical Channel’s Dirty Rotten. Canterbury has also written two books, with Survivability For The Common Man the pick of the bunch. 

In the book, Canterbury discusses the Pathfinder System he created. It covers the five C’s of survivability; cutting tool, combustion device, container, cover & cordage. These are the main skills you need to survive, with Canterbury also providing a further five C’s that extend on his original ideas. Canterbury uses his years of experience and wilderness survival skills to create a book that is packed with useful information.

survival-books-5

Check Price

This is the bible when it comes to surviving medical situations in the middle of nowhere. This fourth edition of The Survival Medicine Handbook: The Essential Guide for When Help is NOT on the Way has it all. Unsure what to do with somebody gets knocked out? Stumble across a chemical spill and are worried you might have inhaled some nasty substances? Fallen down a hill and broken a leg? The solution to all these problems and more can be found in this hefty book.

While some might argue this doesn’t constitute a survival book, due to the fact it is purely medical-based, we don’t agree with that assessment. You need to know how to treat injuries while in the wilderness so you can make it out alive, and this book clearly provides information on that. Be warned though; it is a rather large and hefty book, so if you take it with you, just be prepared to be carrying some extra weight in your pack.

Being in the armed forces seems to lend itself to survival. Colin Towell is an ex-SAS Combat Survival Instructor who decided to try his hand at writing a survival book. Thankfully for him (and us), he knows what he’s talking about. Simply named The Survival Handbook, this 320-page guide features step-by-step instructions alongside easy-to-follow illustrations covering a range of survival topics.

Doomsday preppers often get a bad rap and are seen as crazy people living off the grid. While this is true for some, many are just concerned citizens preparing for the worst. Jim Cobb falls somewhere in the middle. A seasoned survivalist and prepper who has been part of the community for a number of years, Cobb has written a slew of helpful books about preparing for the world’s demise.

One of the originals, Carla Emery is the name behind arguably the most successful survival book of all time. The Encyclopedia of Country Living, 50th Anniversary Edition: The Original Manual for Living off the Land & Doing It Yourself was first written by Emery in the early 70s. An organic farmer who believed in the ‘back-to-the-land movement’ that was popular at that time, Emery wanted to help others learn how to live off the land. She began writing a newsletter that turned into a book.

Self-publishing her encyclopedia, Emery sold an incredible 90,000 copies by traveling across America and promoting the book by appearing on talk shows. This landmark guide is regarded as the book for those wanting to understand more about how to live in the country and be self-sufficient. Long before global warming and climate change, Emery was already discussing how to live a sustainable and eco-friendly life. Covering everything from growing your own food to making organic bug spray, this encyclopedia has all the knowledge you could want.

13. 98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive - Cody Ludin

survival-books-15

Check Price

This book is a bit different from the others in both the way it is written and the ideas expressed. Author Cody Ludin, a survival instructor at the Aboriginal Living Skills School in Prescott, Arizona, is a bit of a character. He was a co-host of the Discovery Channel series Dual Survival and has some different theories when it comes to surviving in the wild. His most controversial idea is that as long as you keep your body temperature at 98.6 degrees, you can survive any climate or terrain. He believes keeping your body’s core temperature at this level is more important than food and water.

While it sounds a bit extreme, there is some truth to what Ludin is saying, as if you’re core temp does drop, you are in big trouble. Combine this theory with Ludins comical and informative way of writing and you have a very enjoyable book that will keep you gripped until the final pages.

I know, not the manliest hobby in the world, but knitting is both relaxing and practical. There is something calming about sitting down and listening to the sound of the knitting needles clicking together. You can whip yourself up a warm jumper for winter or create a scarf in the colors of your favorite sports team. It’s also the type of hobby you can do while listening to music or watching TV, as long as you are confident in your abilities. You don’t want to be missing a thread and ruining your creation.

5. Drawing

Drawing-Best-Hobby-For-Men-In-Their-30s

Video games stimulate your senses and help improve your reflexes. They are also just super fun to play and a great way to spend your free time.

Make them in bulk and start selling them to friends and family or at markets to make some extra dollars.

18. Learn To Dance

Here is a great hobby your partner will also benefit from. Learn to dance so you can take your lady out and surprise her with your fluency in the Tango.

Trust me, your partner will love it.

19. Electronic Music Procution

It will take a lot of practice before you start carving statues like Michelangelo’s David.

Stuck in the same cycle of binge-watching Netflix, ordering from GrubHub, and mindlessly scrolling through listicles like this one. Maybe it’s time to get some fresh air and discover some outdoor hobbies.

In all fairness, the pandemic year(s) have not been great for those of us who like to get outside, break away from routine, and have adventures. But if you’re looking for a change, now is the time. 

There’s nothing more rejuvenating than spending time outdoors. Taking up a new outdoor hobby can be an opportunity to add some excitement to your life… or some peace and relaxation if that’s what you need. The outdoors isn’t just for risk-takers and adventurers. It’s for everyone. 

There are some great outdoor hobbies that will get your heart rate up and your blood pumping. Other outdoor hobbies are more meditative. Quite a few can be accomplished in the city or in your yard. 

From getting back to nature to getting more enjoyment out of your own backyard, these are the best outdoor hobbies for men.

1. Hiking

Hiking-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

When you find yourself cooped up at the office during the workweek, hiking can be a great escape. Hiking allows you to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of nature at your own pace (and it’s a great low-impact exercise too). No matter where you live, there are probably several great trails close enough for a day trip. If you’re looking for a more social hike, bring a friend – maybe a four-legged friend – to share the trail with.

2. Gardening

Gardening-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

Gardening is a great way to spend time outside right in your own backyard. Plus, it feels great to get your hands dirty! You have a lot of options too, from cultivating a vegetable garden to nurturing the best flower beds on the block. If you’re not naturally gifted with a green thumb, start with something simple (just about anybody can keep a tomato plant alive) and expand your horizons as your confidence increases. 

3. Skiing

Skiing-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

Outdoor hobbies aren’t just for summer. When the snow flies, hit the slopes! Skiing is a great way to get some exercise and enjoy some beautiful scenery in cold weather. There’s a bit of a learning curve if you’re a total newbie, but it’s not as hard to get the hang of it as you think. Start by taking a skiing class, or hit the slopes with a more experienced friend. 

4. Rock Climbing

Rock-Climbing-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

Climbing is an activity that essentially exercises every muscle in your body, all while sharpening your senses and honing your instincts. It’s a lot of fun, and it’s also an indoor hobby as well as an outdoor one. Start at an indoor rock gym until you feel confident enough to start rock climbing outdoors. 

5. Photography

Photography-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

If you enjoy photography, the outdoors can provide endless inspiration. From photographing wildlife and landscapes to urban scenery and portraits, there’s no end to what you can capture in the outdoors. Photography can also be rewarding in a lot of different ways. You could start an Instagram account and start building a following for your work, or maybe even do some work for hire as a freelance photographer. Or maybe your photography is something you do just for you. 

6. Camping

Camping-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

Who doesn’t love a night out under the stars with a roaring campfire and a few good friends? Camping is an experience many of us loved in childhood, but we don’t all take it back up again as adults. But a camping trip – whether for a whole week or just one night – can be a truly rejuvenating experience, and an opportunity to reconnect with nature and with our inner child. 

7. Skydiving

Skydiving-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

For most people who go skydiving, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. But for some, it ignites a passion and becomes a lifelong pursuit. There’s only one way to find out which camp you belong to. Either way, skydiving is one of the most thrilling experiences the outdoors has to offer. 

8. Foraging

Foraging-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

Foraging as a hobby has really caught on in recent years, and not just among those who live in the country. Urban foraging is a thing too, and even if you live in a big city, chances are you don’t have to drive too far to find a place where wild edibles grow. Being able to find food in nature is a deeply satisfying experience, and it’s the kind of knowledge that you can enjoy for a lifetime, and even pass down to the next generation. 

9. Barbecue

Man-Doing-Barbecue-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

When we say barbecue, we’re not talking about throwing a couple hot dogs on the grill (not that there’s anything wrong with that). We’re talking about the craft – nay, the art – of slowly cooking meat over smoldering coals until it’s fall-off-the-bone tender. It takes hours, even days. And for some folks, it becomes a lifelong passion. One thing’s for sure: it takes time, but you can become a true pitmaster if you’re dedicated. 

10. Surfing

Surfing-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

Once you really learn how to catch a wave, it can be hard to let go. Surfing is a hobby that connects you with the ocean in a deep way, and it often proves to be a transcendent experience. Not everyone is fortunate enough to live in a place where surfing is possible every day, but it can still be a hobby you pursue on vacations and holidays. You might just find yourself planning future trips around finding the best surf spots. 

11. Baseball

Baseball-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

You’re never too old to make America’s pastime your pastime. Baseball is the quintessential American sport, and there are baseball leagues for all ages and athletic abilities in pretty much every city and town across the country. If there doesn’t happen to be one in yours, there’s no reason you and your buddies can’t start one. 

12. Stargazing

Stargazing-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

Mankind has been transfixed by the mysteries of the night sky since prehistoric times. We still are, except now we have the technology to see the heavens with much more clarity than our ancestors. Today, anodyne can buy a telescope and train it skyward. It can become a fascinating hobby, and you can actually get a pretty good beginners’ telescope at a very affordable price. 

13. Trail Running

Trail-Running-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

Think of it as hiking… only faster. We all know that running is great exercise, but treadmills aren’t for everyone, and city streets aren’t always the most enjoyable places to run. But trail running allows you to experience nature while you get your cardio in. A lot of runners also enjoy the challenge of running with rocks and other obstacles on the trail. 

14. Kayaking

Kayaking-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

Kayaking is another great outdoor activity that’s available to almost anyone. It’s a relaxing way to hit the water and get some exercise while exploring at your own pace. And you don’t have to live on the banks of a pristine alpine lake to enjoy it. Plenty of urban kayakers have rivers and canals to explore, and I know folks who live in the desert and love to paddle their local irrigation channels (but be sure to check local regulations before you go). A lot of cities even have clubs for local ‘yak enthusiasts. 

15. Paintball

PaintaPaintball-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Menball,Player,Aiming

Paintball can be an indoor or an outdoor game, but we tend to think it’s more fun in the outdoors. A lot of people of all ages get a kick out of paintball, which is a fast-paced game with some real benefits. It sharpens your senses, gives you a workout, and improves hand-eye coordination. It might teach you some humility too if you find yourself on the wrong end of a paintball gun.

Learning to sail is a challenging pursuit and one that often goes well beyond the realm of “hobby” to become a full-blown lifestyle.

A lot of guys who ice skate do so for hockey, but it’s a great skill to have, and a lot of fun in and of itself.

41. Snorkeling

46. Hunting

54. Kites

Kites-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

There’s an unmistakable joy that comes with watching a kite and feeling it tug at the end of your line in the open sky.

56. Fruit Growing

64. Wildlife Watching

Wildlife watching often starts with something small. A chance encounter with a fox, an unexpected run-in with a food-stealing squirrel. Before you know it you’re looking out your window with binoculars with a David Attenborough-inspired monologue running through your head. At the end of the day, whether you’re heading out to Yellowstone to see wild bison or strolling through your local zoo, wildlife watching connects us with nature in a big way. 

65. Bouldering

Bouldering-Best-Outdoor-Hobby-For-Men

Bouldering is kind of like rock climbing, but with a few caveats. The biggest difference is that bouldering is done without any ropes or harnesses and that you’re usually free climbing no higher than 12 to 15 feet. The only gear involved is a crash pad to soften the blow if you happen to lose your grip and fall on your butt. 

66. Fat Tire Biking

Fishing for big game on the open ocean is a very different experience than catching bass and bluegills in your local pond.

Despite the current climate of uncertainty, people seem willing to spend money on high-end luxury goods. Whether that’s the latest Gucci collection or automobile from Rolls Royce, consumers want luxury brand name products. It’s plain to see the luxury sector continues to thrive. 

In a society dominated by social media and image, it makes sense people want to look good. As Investopedia explains, “for some consumers, a luxury good can go a long way in increasing self-esteem or providing a sense of belonging.” It fosters “a sense of accomplishment,” with luxury brands often seen as better quality. Owning a designer item strikes a balance between status and authenticity. 

So what are the most popular luxury brands? Alexander McQueen? Yves Saint Laurent? Ralph Lauren? While this is up for debate, Brand Directory, which calculates and evaluates the earnings of the biggest brands in the world, has a good idea. Every year they release their list of the best luxury companies based on how much money they make and each company’s monetary valuation. Taking their research into account, here are the 10 most popular brands in the world.

1. Porsche – $34.3 Billion

The German automobile brand reigns supreme at the top of the charts. Despite the challenges of the past couple of years, Porsche has managed to thrive and continue its dominance as one of the world’s top luxury brands. The brand value is an astonishing $34.3 million.

First established in 1931 in Stuttgart, Germany, Porsche quickly became a leader in the automotive field. It’s also one of the biggest global brands thanks to its luxury branding strategy. The company’s 911 model is perhaps its most famous vehicle and dominated the market during the 80s and 90s. Notable for its luxury sports cars, Porsche now offers SUVs, sedans, and electric cars. The Porsche Taycan (electric car) has become a particularly big hit with those looking for a luxurious car that’s also environmentally friendly. 

2. Gucci – $15.5 Billion

The epitome of luxury fashion, Gucci remains the world’s top fashion brand and second-biggest luxury brand in the world. There is a sizable gap between Porsche and Gucci, and this has been widened over the past year. A 22.7% drop in sales has seen the Italian fashion house’s valuation dip from $17.6 billion in 2020 to $15.5 billion in 2021. It’s fair to say the pandemic hit the company hard. While having luxury clothes is great, if you can’t wear them out and impress people there isn’t much point.

Despite this blip, the company created by Guccio Gucci looks set to rebound this year as one of the biggest luxury brands. Although facing competition from the likes of Giorgio Armani, Calvin Klein, Bottega Veneta, Tom Ford, and other popular fashion designers, Gucci is putting its best foot forward. The brand’s latest collection is a collaboration with adidas, while The North Face x Gucci selection of garments and accessories has been a big seller. 

3. Louis Vuitton – $14.8 Billion

Similar to great rival Gucci, Louis Vuitton also took a hit over the past 12 months. The high-end French retailer did manage to keep its grip on the third spot of the world’s best luxury brands, despite a slip in its overall valuation. The brand itself comes under the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) conglomeration, which was a merger between the two companies in 1987. The resources afforded to both companies allowed them to flourish and cement their status as leading luxury brands.

With over 460 stores worldwide in 50 different countries, it is fair to say Louis Vuitton has a stranglehold on the luxury brand market. Its brand management is unheralded and its advertising campaigns are some of the most efficient. Known originally for its famous trunks and luggage accessories, the brand now dabbles in clothing, shoes, watches, sunglasses, and more. 

Trivia fact: Louis Vuitton made much of its early fortune via deals with the Nazis during World War II. 

4. Chanel – $13.2 Billion

Chanel actually managed to jump up a spot, rising from fifth to fourth in 2021. Its brand value is now worth an estimated $13.2 billion. Another French fashion house, the company was founded in 1910 by Coco Chanel. Its focus was women’s clothing and accessories, but over the years this has diversified to men’s clothing, jewelry, and other luxury goods. The brand really came to the fore in the 80s when Karl Lagerfeld took over as creative designer. The German merged the past with the future to bring Chanel into the 21st century. He held the position until his death in 2019 at the age of 85.

Along with clothing, Chanel is popular thanks to Chanel No. 5. The fragrance was created in 1921 and remains a key to the success of Chanel. Many of the ad campaigns for the fragrance have featured famous celebrities, such as Nicole Kidman and Marilyn Monroe, with French actress Marion Cotillard the current face of the perfume. 

5. Cartier – $12 Billion

The third French brand on this list is also one of the oldest, forming in 1847. It is regarded as one of the world’s top jewelry manufacturers and has a long history with royalty. Throughout the company’s 175 year history it has crafted jewels for the British, Spanish, Portuguese, Serbian, and Russian monarchs. Along with its jewelry, Cartier is also known for its watches. The first was released in 1903 and was created for pilots. Since then there have been dozens of different iterations of that first watch, with Cartier timepieces oozing sophistication and prestige. 

6.  Hermès – $11.6 Billion

This iconic French luxury brand had another great year, cementing its spot in the top 10 with a valuation of $11.6 billion. Beginning life selling high-quality leather saddles in 1837, it wasn’t until 1922 that Hermès branched out into the world of fashion, slinging its very first leather handbags. These became extremely popular and the brains behind the brand realized there was another market for them to capitalize on. The Hermès carrés (square scarves) became a hit in 1937 and was soon a part of French culture. It was also during the 30s when Hermès got into business with Swiss watchmaker Universal Genève and released its first timepiece. It has 14 product departments and continues to dominate the luxury brands market from New York to London and everywhere in between. 

7. Ferrari – $9.2 Billion

Ferrari is the only other car manufacturer to crack the top 10, although that shouldn’t be a surprise. The brand is one of the most recognized car brands in the world. From its famous prancing horse logo to its involvement in the Formula One, Ferrari has been a mainstay in car culture for over 80 years. 

While it pales in comparison to Porsche, the market for the two companies is slightly different. While Porsche has entered the hybrid era and is creating luxury cars for families, Ferrari retains its heritage as a brand for pure motor enthusiasts. Its cars are often much more expensive than other brands, helping Ferrari’s image as a luxury brand. There are five main models of Ferrari available, with special and limited editions always being built for diehard fans. 

8. Rolex – $7.9 Billion

The only watchmaker on the list is also one of the most recognized. Rolex has been responsible for some of the most spectacular watches ever crafted over its 117-year history. It is the definition of a popular luxury brand. Although founded in England, the brand now resides in Switzerland. It is responsible for several breakthroughs in watch construction over the years. Interestingly, Rolex watches were worn by many pilots during World War II and featured in the famous war film The Great Escape. 

There are three main watch lines–Oyster Perpetual, Professional, and Cellini (dress)–with each having a number of different models. Rolex watches have become so popular that there is a whole industry built on fake Rolex’s. Many people don’t even realize they have purchased a fake, so it is always best when buying a Rolex to do so from an accredited dealership. 

9. Dior – $7.8 Billion

Dior is incredibly valued at a higher price than last year. In 2020 it was worth $6.8 billion, while in 2021 this rose to $7.8 billion. Another French luxury fashion house, Dior’s main focus is clothing and shoes, although they also sell a wide range of other luxury goods. The company’s first collection was launched in 1947 and had a huge impact on the fashion world. The ‘New Look,’ as it is known, revolutionized women’s clothing and put an emphasis on feminity, haute couture, and fashion-forward garments. While not everybody is a fan, Coco Chanel reportedly remarked, “Only a man who never was intimate with a woman could design something that uncomfortable,” there is no doubting the impact ‘New Look’ and Dior has had on the fashion industry. 

10. Guerlain – $5.6 Billion

One of the big movers, Guerlain pole-vaulted past Coach, Estée Lauder, and Tiffany & Co. to sneak into the top 10. It is one of the lesser-known luxury brands despite its high valuation in the luxury segment. The French perfumery was owned and run by the Guerlain family until it was purchased by LVMH in 1994. Brand manager Jean-Paul Guerlain, the last family perfumer, stayed on with the company until he was fired for making racist remarks in 2010.

The company has created over 600 fragrances across its 192-year history in the luxury market for both men and women. Along with its perfumes, Guerlain also has a large range of cosmetic and skincare products. Many models and actresses have been part of advertising campaigns for the brand over the years, with Angelina Jolie the current face of Guerlain.
