Christmas gift ideas for him

This article includes advertising for brands however I do only recommend products I genuinely do think would make a great gift. If you find men hard to buy for then these gift ideas for him may help you this Christmas.

I have tried to include a variety of ideas to help you whatever your budget but do check out my other gift guides for ideas too!

Gadget gifts for men

If you are buying for a man who loves his gadgets then these ideas may help.

This Tile Starter Pack is £44.99 and includes a Tile mate – perfect as a keyring or on a bag or purse, and a Tile Slim – perfect for wallets, purses, notebooks and bags as it is around credit card size and thin.

If the man you are buying for has quite a recent mobile phone it is likely it has wireless charging as an option.

This Wireless charger is stylish and as a 10w charger, it will charge his device reasonably quickly too! It is £49.99 from The House of Marley.

For an elderly man

Sometimes older people are hard to buy for as they seem to have all they would like and are quite stuck in their ways. Don’t panic this may be the perfect gift for them.

If you are looking to buy a gift for an elderly man who has not had a smartphone before but would be interested in trying one then this is absolutely perfect.

It is designed with older people in mind and easy to work and with all the functions you would expect from a smartphone.

The Emporia SuperEasy is £200, it comes with an easy-to-follow instruction book (none of this nonsense of having to find it online or with a QR code!), it is suitable for use with hearing aids and the screen is large and clear.

If this had been available when my grandparents were alive I would have definitely bought them one.

This folding book and tablet stand is really good for the man in your and can be angled however they need depending on whether they are using it for Netflix, studying or something else. It is available from Amazon for £25.

For a man who loves fitness

These Edifier TWS1 Pro earbuds are available in ivory, pink or dark grey and are IP56 water and sweat-resistant.

Definitely great for exercise and nothing will stop them as these have Bluetooth v5.2 which means they provide a more stable Bluetooth connection less likely to have to stop and reconnect!

At £42.49 (down from £59.99) on Amazon they are cheaper than something like Airpods but pretty good and I am sure will be appreciated!

Have you seen the latest craze of Boxball? It is really fun and basically uses an app along with this headband with an attached ball to safely box for fitness or fun.

It is just £22 and available directly from The Boxball.

Are you buying for someone who loves to play golf but you are really stuck for ideas of what you could buy?

This Golfers Essentials kit from the gifts range at Naken Interiors is just £13 and is a perfect golfers gift.

For fitness fanatics, nutrition is important, especially protein bars and rehydration drinks. These are just a few of the products from ProYouth that could be a perfect gift for them.

The bars are available in a trial pack of three for £6.25 or in multipacks. The vitamin electrolyte tablets are £6.95 a tube. All are available along with other goodies from ProYouth Nutrition.

Food and Drink gifts for him

Sometimes food and drink gifts are the easiest options. Here are some unusual ideas you might like rather than resorting to the same gifts again!

If you are buying for a vodka drinker or a man who has his own bar or drinks cabinet then this Artisanal vodka is a perfect gift and it looks stunning too.

A great gift for him for just £9.

Would a meat hamper be the perfect gift for him? This cured meat bundle is an amazing gift from Crown and Queue, a British Cured Meat company that resurrected traditional and historical recipes to make amazing treats which I believe make amazing gifts.

It is a sustainable brand that focuses on quality and even chooses green options for the couriers which I think is fantastic.

This is the small gift hamper for £38 but there are many other options available from Crown and Queue.

For a man who loves to cook how about these Meat claws perfect for pulling apart meat to easily shred something like pulled pork? They are £12.99 from Amazon.

Each Traeger rub tin is £9.99 and will last a while, depending on how much you use each time! The varieties we have tried are the prime rib rub, fin and feather rub, beef rub and veggie rub.

It is £199 from Trendhim and similar colour-changing watches are available in different strap styles so if this isn’t quite what you are looking for do check the others out.
