When it comes to buying Christmas gifts for the man in your life, it can be a little tricky to know where to start. Some men are incredibly difficult to buy for, many just go out and buy things they want themselves, and other’s simply keep their hands so close to their chest that you literally have no idea what they’d be happy to find under the Christmas tree. I refuse to be boring and just give money, so I always try and find gifts that suit someones hobbies, likes and past times. In case you are lacking in a bit of inspiration for the men in your life, here’s my low down of suggestions for every kind of man this Christmas.

For the one who likes to look smart…

My partner goes to work with a range of customers and clients, and as a result, always likes to look presentable and smart; usually wearing a shirt, tie and suit when he leaves the house in the morning, If the men in your life work in an office, or simply like to dress smartly, Dobell is a great place to start. They have a wide range of high-quality suits in a variety of designs, fits and colours, all at an incredibly reasonable budget. This suit was excellent value at just £139 and being made from high-quality wool in a dark navy, is a twist on the original smart black/grey suit for work. It looks great with a pale blue shirt or white shirt and blue tie.

 

For the one who likes an adventure…

For the adrenaline junkie, or if you want to buy a gift which actually allows you to experience something with your other half as a couple, the Adventures Smartbox from Buyagift.co.uk is ideal. With over 570 products to choose from across the UK, this voucher allows you to chose from a whole host of fun activities from getting behind the wheel of a supercar, to taking off in a microlight, jumping aboard a 60ft racing yacht and every adventure in-between! With many activities for one as well as a number of experiences specially selected for two, there is no shortage of options to chose from. I know for a fact that Mike would love to try a supercar driving experience and hoverboarding, so it will be interesting to see his final choice!

For the man who likes to cook…

My Dad absolutely loves cooking, and watches shows like MasterChef pretty religiously, always keeping an eye out for some inspiration of new recipes to try or little twists on modern classics. I know he will absolutely LOVE this new cookbook to complement the series, with over 100 recipes from the MasterChef champions – and the best part of getting him something like this for Christmas, is that I get to taste the creations when he puts them to the test! Win Win! MasterChef The Classics with a twist retails at £14.65 and is available to purchase at Amazon.

Whether he eats them rare, medium rare or well done, he’ll love this Cosori Smart Meat Thermometer. Simply insert the probe into the meat before cooking to closely monitor the internal temperature, taking the guesswork out of cooking and ensuring it’s served exactly the way he likes it, every single time. WIth a connection range of up to 50metres, he can even keep an eye on his cooking from the comfort of the sofa!

For the one who works from home

If he’s working from home this winter, anything that helps him have a quick and easy lunch will be well received. We love the practical and affordable lunchtime solutions from Tower. From their deep fill non-stick sandwich toastie maker, (for the perfect crispy edged ham and cheese toasties without the mess) to this 3,5 litre slow cooker – perfect for preparing stews, casseroles, curries and soups for family mealtimes, making evenings simple and stress free. Pass the dumplings!

For the one who always runs out of battery!

IF he’s always forgetting to charge his phone, this handy Krafted charging station from Connix could be the ideal gift. Connex offers a seamless and streamlined way to charge and connect a variety of gadgets, eliminating the need for multiple cables and chargers. We love the sustainable packaging and whatever device he has – Samsung, Apple or Kindle, he can simply flip the ports round and plug in to his laptop to rejoice his gadgets!

For the busy schedules

Danilo have a great range of A5, A6 and slimline diaries that can help the man in your life plan exactly where he needs to be and when. We love this stylish Aston Villa addition, but other football clubs are available for men that don’t mind losing ;).

So there you have it, from a close shave to an awesome adventure, we hope we have given you a little food for thought!
