Men’s Christmas Gift Guide ** WIN **

ByLaura Dove

Every year when Christmas comes around I struggle for the men in my life and, now with Lewis at 16, I feel as though I’m now left buying for three men – Lewis, Gaz and my Dad! I usually share extensive gift guides at this time of year but with things being very different in 2020 and us all adopting a simpler approach to Christmas, I thought I would narrow down my gift guide to just a few key ideas to suit all ages, interests and needs!

For men who love to smell good….

If there’s one gift you can’t go wrong with it’s aftershave, afterall what man doesn’t want to smell good this year? Whilst my Dad is happy with whatever I give him, Gaz and Lewis have very different – and expensive – tastes so it’s a case of shopping around for the best price. I have found that Perfume Direct have some amazing deals this Christmas including my absolute favourite aftershave – Dior Sauvage. I managed to save over £10 on the RRP this year and would definitely recommend you check them out! 

For men who like to drink tea & coffee….

If there’s one thing my Dad loves it’s a good cup of tea and I have just the gift for men who love the same – the Ember Smart Mug! Available in the new metallic collection, the Ember smart mug can be set to your preferred temperature so you can drink your hot drink just the way you like it, from the first sip to the last drop! It keeps your drink warm for up to 1.5 hours with a built-in battery or all day with the included charging coaster. I absolutely love this idea and I know that for someone like my Dad, who will often be tinkering in the garage and forget to drink his brew, it’s such a useful and unique gift!

For men who are always late…..

If the man in your life is always late, it’s a great time to buy them a watch and Trendhim.com have the most amazing collection! Although all of their watches (and jewellery) are lovely, I particularly love the Sabin Phantom Watch priced at just £69 with a gorgeous skeleton dial and made from a gold-tone metal for a really unusual finish. With a black dial and a transparent back it’s a real statement piece and I think any man would be happy to receive it this Christmas!

For men who love the gym…

For men who love the gym, you can’t go wrong with a Lynx gift set and thankfully they always have so many fantastic ideas on offer! I love this Lynx Africa gift set containing Africa Body Wash, Body Spray, Anti-perspirant and a stylish wash bag which is perfect for the gym, travel or just using on the go. Priced at just £12 and available at Boots nationwide, it’s a fab gift for all ages!

 

If the man in your life is into padel then a new Padel Racket is another great gift idea and a fun way to indulge your other halves hobby. You can get some great designs to suit a real variety of budgets too.

For men who love their technology…

If your man is into his technology, or simply can’t be parted from his mobile phone, then you can’t go wrong with the Trouva pebble grey power bank and charger. With a stone like finish and a comfortable grip, this pebble bank is a natural looking alternative to other power bank accessories and looks great when in or out of use. With a full charge ready to go, and a high capacity of 2600mAH, it’s a great gift and at £17.25, won’t break the bank!

For men who love the outdoors…

Gaz has recently got into his walking this year which has actually made my job to buy his Christmas presents far easier! Thank to the official Ordinance Survey website I’ve been able to pick out some maps for his treks, some books for inspiration, and even a few useful accessories for along the way. They have a fantastic range of Christmas products for everyone including outdoor games, themed maps and personalised gifts!

For men who like to stay in touch…

Usually phones wouldn’t appear on my gift guide as these days they are just so expensive! Thanks to the IMO Q4 Pro, retailing at just £59.99, it’s suddenly a very affordable option for those who like to stay in touch, for younger men/boys who are looking to get their first phone, or those who like to travel as the perfect holiday pay as you go phone!

With a 5.45″ HD display, edge to edge for a sleek and compact design, it’s the perfect widescreen experience for gaming, videos and more. It also has a fantastic Dual Rear Camera (8MP + 0.3MP) to allow you to capture crystal clear precision with ultra-wide camera angles.

It also has enhanced security features with IMO’s face unlock and you can access your apps via facial authentication. More than that, it has a 15 day standby time which is perfect for travel or forgetful people (like my dad!) who never charge their phones!! I’ve been really impressed with all of the features, the function and the design, it’s definitely one to check out! Find out more here.

For men with a sweet tooth….

For those with a sweet tooth, and a perfect gift for Grandparents, is this personalised photo sweet tin from propergoose.com. They have a fantastic range of gift ideas, many of which can be personalised and you can easily shop by recipient and by occasion. They even do letterbox gifts which is great for sending to family and friends this Christmas!

The personalised sweet tins can be made with two, four or six bags of sweets which you choose from a selection. With milk bottles, cola bottles, strawberry milkshakes, bananas and shrimps, fizzy peaches, fizzy sour cherries, chocolate limes, rhubarb and custard, pear drops, mint humbugs, sherbert lemons and strawberry bon bons, there’s something for everyone and lots of old school sweets which I know my Dad would love!

You can then choose a photo and text for the front of the tin and it’s presented in a gift box making it such a lovely and thoughtful gift. Prices start at £19 and they are absolutely worth it for the quality!

For men who enjoy smoking…

For those who like to enjoy smoking with a glass of wine or cognac whether after dinner or while their evening leisure time, a cigar is a great idea. Many cigar connoisseurs worldwide prefer Partagas cigars which deliver a deep complex smoke along with various flavors and are among the most reliable and outstanding brands. Next to it are Davidoff cigars, H. Upmann, Montecristo, and many others. If your man is not a strong smoker and prefers milder tones, then you can take H. Upmann Magnum 46,  Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill, or  El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme which are best to try as a beginner or a medium smoker.

For men who love to lounge….

For men who love to lounge then there is nothing better than a new bathrobe and Bamigo.com have a fantastic range! I love this Duke bathrobe in grey melange featuring a generous wrap, an elegant shawl collar, a wrap belt and deep patch pockets. It’s gorgeously warm, luxuriously soft and provides breathability when you’re relaxing at home all year round.

I love how luxurious it feels, with soft seams and a stylish fit, and for Gaz, who has never owned a bath robe the whole time I have known him, I think it’s going to be a really lovely gift for him to enjoy wearing now we are spending way more time at home!

For the men who prefer to choose their own gift…

We all know someone who is incredibly fussy and would always prefer to choose their own gift, and that’s where the VEX Gift cards come in useful! The most versatile gift product from Voucher Express, it ca be used to order gift vouchers and gift cards for a site of your choice! So you literally choose the value (from £10-£250) and your recipient can choose where they’d like to spend it and swap the voucher for a gift card of their choice.

With so many high street stores and experience days to choose from, there is something for everyone and you never have to worry about unwanted gifts or coming up with something for the man who really does have everything!!

  45. My husband has been an incredible source of support during my short but successful battle with bowel cancer and is now getting ready to wait on me hand and foot for the next six weeks following my major surgery. He really has been a rock and deserves far more than I could ever hope to give him. He proposed a week after we first met and we reached our 39th anniversary last month. He really is a star all the time not just in times of need. Thanks
