A birthday gift
for a man.
What suits each age and occasion, how to organise a group gift, and what to do when the birthday is tomorrow.
A good birthday gift for a man depends mainly on the occasion: for an ordinary birthday, a consumable, a short subscription or an activity voucher is enough, between CHF 40 and CHF 80. For a milestone birthday, a gift that lasts, such as a twelve-month subscription or a memorable activity, makes more sense. If the birthday is tomorrow, a printable voucher is available right away.
By occasion
Which gift for which birthday?
The amounts reflect what is usual in Switzerland.
| Occasion | What suits | Guide budget |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary birthday | A consumable, a 3-month subscription, a simple voucher | CHF 40 to 80 |
| 30th or 40th | A 6-month subscription, an activity for two, a gift box | CHF 80 to 160 |
| 50th or 60th | A 12-month subscription, a weekend away, a memorable experience | CHF 150 to 300 |
| Group gift among colleagues | A long subscription or an activity, chosen by one person | CHF 10 to 30 per person |
| From a partner | Time together, plus a small something to unwrap | depending on the couple's habits |
Milestone birthdays
What changes at 30, 40, 50 or 60
The rounder the birthday, the longer the gift should last.
Often the time when people settle down. Useful gifts for everyday life and shared experiences work well.
The diary is full and shopping is done quickly. What helps: a gift that takes away a recurring chore or makes him take time for himself.
He has what he needs. A memorable gift is remembered better than an object: an experience, a weekend away, or a subscription that comes back all year.
Time becomes more precious than things. An activity for two, a trip, or a gift that accompanies the next twelve months.
Group gift
Organising a gift among colleagues or friends
Most group gifts fail on the organisation, not on the choice.
- Appoint one person to order and pay, the others pay them back
- Set an amount per person from the start, between CHF 10 and CHF 30 is usual
- Choose a gift that does not require knowing the exact size or tastes: a subscription where the recipient chooses works well
- Include a card signed by everyone, it is often what stays
- Order at least a week ahead if the gift needs to be delivered
The birthday is tomorrow
What to do at the last minute?
A last-minute gift does not have to look like one.
The simplest option is a printable voucher, available right after ordering. Printed at home and slipped into an envelope or a box you already have, it can be handed over the same day without anyone noticing it was bought the evening before. At UNDY, the voucher is available right after ordering, free of charge and with no delivery time.

A subscription that carries on after the party
Three options, three terms, no renewal.
An UNDY subscription delivers a branded piece every month, from HUGO, BOSS, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Nike, Adidas or Puma, to the letterbox, with no shipping costs. The gift is presented as a voucher, in a rigid box with a card, or to print as soon as you order. The recipient chooses their own size and start month, which also makes it a good group gift. The subscription ends at the end of the paid term.
