Get your guy moving by giving him presents to motivate him out of laziness.
Guys are often stereotyped as super-handy, actively engaged in all types of interactive sports, hobbies and adventures. These guys are simple to buy gifts for. If your guy goes against the grain and is more lazy than crazy about the active lifestyle, give gifts that put a little spice in his life.
The Couch Potato
He's glued to the television, flipping from channel to channel in search of sitcoms, sports and marathons. You're not surprised to see him turn the couch into his dinner table, entertainment station and bedroom. He is the couch potato. Give your lazy spud boxed gift sets of his favorite shows on DVD, a gaming system and upgrades to his television unit. General Electric sells a flip universal remote, a novelty item that allows him to program all of his devices with one unit. He can tuck the remote away in his pocket and "flip" it open when he's ready to get in the zone. Other gift ideas for your homebody include regular cleaning service packages from your local maid service or a plan to pre-pay the handyman to take care of home maintenance chores.
The Half Marathon
By far he's not addicted to the gym, but makes a useful attempt every now and then. Perhaps the "lazies" distract him from all of his fitness goals and instead he makes excuses. Catapult your half-hearted fitness buff close to his goals by giving him fitness-made-easy products. A scale that tracks body fat as well as pounds, a complete dumbbell set and a service agreement with a water delivery company will help kick-start his home gym. Get him in the groove to beat his laziness with the Gruve activity monitor alarm. Sited by the Huffington Post as one of top 10 gadgets to help you get fit, the alarm tracks the number of calories you burn a day and sends a signal, buzz and lights up when you've been inactive for too long. Accompany your fitness gifts with a membership to a track club so that he can join a jogger's group for inspiration and accountability and a gift card to his favorite sporting goods store for new workout apparel and footwear.
The Pampered Chef
The only time he's boiled water was in the microwave. If it's not pre-packaged or made by someone coming over to serve him, he's not going to cook it. Pamper your not-so chef by organizing a flipbook of menus from every restaurant in town to give him access as close as his phone dialing will allow. Add a few gift cards for free meals at his favorite restaurants, too. Check your local catering companies for pantry services that allow you to purchase full home-cooked meals that can be frozen or refrigerated for easy preparation by your lazy guy. If you so desire, attempt to get him inspired to do it himself with cooking classes, a personal shopper for groceries and scheduling a dinner party with him as the host.
