This blog post is dedicated to helping you find the perfect gifts for the man in your life, those hard-to-buy-for male relatives, and awkward secret Santa's.
Once again, I have structured the gift guide into price brackets, ascending from prices as low as £6, in order to cater for all budgets. I prefer doing it this way so you guys can scroll to the rough price idea in mind and gather inspiration more easily!
I really hope I can help you find at least 1 perfect gift amongst the 40 I have presented to you.
£0 - £10
ASOS 'Typo Punching Pug Pen' - £6
If the man in question is anything like the general population and is obsessed with pugs, then this gift will serve as the perfect stocking filler. The pen is both functional and funny, and could be kept in his car, bag or workplace to ensure maximum opportunities to present its Mike Tyson similarities.
ASDA 'Red Velour Santa Christmas Shorts with Santa Hat' - £6
Instead of getting your man a stereotypical pair of pyjamas this Christmas, how about a pair of red Santa pants and matching hat?
This novelty gift works as a fab stocking filler and is guaranteed to bring barrels of laughs when tried on.
Boots 'Dove Men + Care Mini Tin Gift Set' - £6.50
If you're struggling to buy a present for a male family member or secret Santa this year, then I would definitely suggest considering this very affordable gift set from Dove, priced at only £6.50. This would be perfect for a man who travels a lot, as the mini sizes of body wash and deodorant are travel friendly and essentials when departing on a road trip of any kind!
ASOS '52 Things To Do While You Poo Sports Edition Book' - £6.99
If the person you're buying for is into sports then this is hands down the gift for them. This Christmas, let them read till their heart's content about their beloved sports teams, and relive nostalgic footie highlights, instead of scrolling on Instagram while sat on the loo. I know so many people I could buy this book for, and know they would get the use out of it, if you know what I mean.
ASOS 'Typo Faceted Water Bottle' - £7
This particular water bottle is a thoughtful idea for any gym goer, as it's a stylish take on the average clear plastic bottle. Let them be the envy of their gym buddies with this khaki green geometric bottle.
Next 'Super Milkshake Gift Set' - £7
Does the guy in question have a sweet tooth? If yes, then this gift set from Next would be perfect for them (and myself). Concoct yourselves a Christmas drink with this milkshake making guide, curing both your gift dilemma and thirst for sugar!
ASOS 'Lonely Planet Just Point Traveller's Visual Dictionary Book' - £7.99
Are you and your loved one planning to go travelling? Or perhaps you have a holiday booked in the near future. This comedic book is a funny and useful way to get you both excited for your trip ahead! Inside it lays out different actions, emotions and scenarios that you can point too if the language barrier is proving difficult, ensuring a perfect holiday.
River Island 'Green Marble Plug Earrings Multipack' and 'Grey Plug Earrings Multipack' - £8
If he has his ears pierced, then perhaps he would like a new set of earrings for Christmas. If he’s into the plug style, then the ones shown here are perfect, as they’re modern, sleek and stylish!
River Island 'Silver Tone Hoop Earrings Multipack' - £8
However, if he prefers hoops over studs, then this set is great value for money, as it works out at just over £1 per earring. This River Island pack gives indie-hip vibes with the aztec printed charms, proving to be very modern and unique in style.
ASDA 'George Ezra CD' - £10
If he’s into music, then a CD would be a great gift. Perhaps a mash up of his favourite genre, his favourite artist or a something he wouldn’t usually listen to. Either way, it’s a gift that can be used time and time again, and will be meaningful as you would have picked the CD yourself.
Debenhams 'Red Herring Black Beanie Hat' - £10
A warm hat is essential for the colder winter months here in the UK, so why not treat your loved one to a nice new one. If his job requires him to work outside, then this gift will be very appreciated on Christmas Day.
_________________________________________________________________________
£11 - £20
River Island 'Black Textured Buckle Belt' - £12
Most men are in need of a nice new belt, so why not make Christmas the perfect time to gift him one. This River Island belt is particularly nice and comes in other colours and designs to suit his personal taste.
Next 'Adidas Originals Crew Socks' - £12
Instead of giving normal boring socks for Christmas, why not spruce it up a little with these Adidas branded ones. I'm sure he will prefer these ones, as he won't be embarrassed to wear and show them off.
Boots 'Jack Wills Mug and Socks Gift Set' - £12.50
For a simpler man, why not go for this Jack Wills mug and socks gift set. Both items can be used time and time again, and similarly to the ones above, the socks are more stylish than most.
Boots 'Nando's Trio Caddy' - £12.50
If he likes cooking up a storm in the kitchen, then why not give him this Nando's sauce set. This is a gift that keeps on giving, as you get to taste the final outcome of the sauces!
Debenhams 'Gentlemen's Society Watch and Cufflink Box' - £15
This is a very thoughtful gift for any man who owns jewellery, cufflinks or watches, as it provides a simple but stylish way to store his collection without being feminine.
Debenhams 'Retro Arcade Retro Pocket Game' - £15
Debenhams have produced some really unique gifts this year, including this retro arcade game. I'm sure any man would love to rewind time by playing this classic game, reliving their childhood memories and the patience needed to succeed! This can also keep them quiet and occupied during the Christmas buzz, giving you a moment of peace.
Debenhams 'Gentlemen's Society Nail Grooming Kit' - £15
Every man needs a nail care set, and if yours doesn't already then this is a present dedicated to them. It includes nail clippers, toe clippers, a pair of tweezers, scissors, a sapphire file and travel case to store everything!
Debenhams 'Gadget Lab Bedside Pocket' - £15
I think that this is an ingenious idea, and a great present for any male or female who needs a bit more organisation in their life. This contraption can hold items like charger cables, tablets, phones, books etc., leaving a tidier room!
River Island 'Grey Check Scarf' - £15
Keep him warm this winter with a nice new scarf. This grey checked one from River Island is great quality and is sure to keep him toasty warm.
Next 'Automatic Counting Coin Jar' - £15
If he always has loose change lying around then an automatic counting jar is perfect! It takes the work out of counting up all your loose change and the end result can be both surprising and a present in itself!
Boots 'Dove Men + Care Shower Speaker Gift Set' - £16
Smelly sets always go down a treat with men, and this one would be no exception. You receive two face and body washes, deodorant and a shower speaker for only £16! The speaker really sets this gift apart from any others as it's a unique touch, but also great value for money, as they alone can be purchased for around £20!
Boots 'Nivea Men Gift Seriously Smooth, Pack of 5' - £16
However, if the man in question has a preference to Nivea, then this gift set is the best of the bunch. Inside you get a shower gel, deodorant, face wash, post-shave balm and a moisturiser for only £16.
ASOS 'Lounge Pant in NFL Design' - £18
This gift is perfect for those lazy Sundays where you just lounge around the house doing absolutely nothing. However, he will look a lot more stylish in these pants than a pair of old tracksuit bottoms.
River Island 'Brown Perforated Wallet' - £18
I feel like a new wallet is always appreciated but not always asked for. River Island ones are always exemplary quality, fashionable and functional, as well as having a huge variety of styles.
Next 'Favourite City by Summer Thornton Framed Print' - £18
This is one of the most thoughtful gifts on my list this year. If you and your loved one have visited a particular city and created wonderful memories there, then this is a beautiful way to remember your time together.
ASDA 'Grey Dressing Gown' - £20
A dressing gown is perfect for those cold winter nights watching films on the sofa with the fire on and a hot chocolate in hand. They make you feel so cosy and warm, even when the weather outside isn't.
River Island 'Navy Ribbed Beanie Hat and Scarf Set' - £20
Perhaps instead of the black beanie showed above, you would rather treat him to a matching set this year. This River Island set is very fashionable and modern, and therefore can be worn on an everyday basis.
_________________________________________________________________________
£21 - £30
River Island 'Black Gold Stars Trunks Multipack' - £22
Instead of regular underwear this Christmas, perhaps treat your loved one to a set of pants from River Island. They're less expensive than other underwear brands, but nevertheless do the same thing, but just have a more luxurious feel about them!
ASOS 'Eastpak Talky Bum Bag in Yellow' - £22
Perhaps if he's into festivals and going 'out out', then a bum bag would come in handy. This particular one from ASOS is bright yellow, so his friends can't lose him on a night out! However, the website also stocks various different brands, colours, sizes and price points so you can find the perfect one to suit his style.
_________________________________________________________________________
£31 - £40
Boots 'Gillette Fusion5 ProShield Limited Edition Chrome Razor + 3 Blades + Shave Gel + Stand' - £31.99
If he likes maintaining a baby faced look, then this set is brilliant at combatting ever-growing stubble. Inside you get a razor, shaving cream, 3 razor heads and a case to put them in.
Debenhams 'Amplified Black Wireless Earphones' - £35
This is a great present if they commute to work on public transport, a gym goer or fall asleep listening to music. These particular wireless headphones are very reasonably priced, and come in sleek packaging.
River Island 'Gold Tone Chain Link Watch' - £35
Is the man you're buying for always late no matter what? The problem can be solved by surprising him with a watch for Christmas! This one from River Island oozes class and sophistication and can be worn on the daily or kept for special occasions. However, if this isn't his taste, then there are many different designs and colours available on the website.
_________________________________________________________________________
£41+
Debenhams 'Calvin Klein Pack of 3 Grey, Black and White Cotton Stretch Trunks' - £41
Pants are always a great shout because they're a gift that will definitely get used. However, if this year you're feeling a bit more generous, then this Calvin Klein pack is a great option for treating your bae.
River Island 'Tan Faux Leather Holdall' - £45
If you and your bae love going for weekends away, a stylish holdall would be ideal! This one from River Island is sleek and durable as its faux leather, meaning it should stand till the end of time. Okay, maybe a couple of years, but still, it means you won't have to re-buy one every year, and gives a good excuse to go and book a mini vacation.
ASDA 'AKAI A60011N Turntable' - £45
Instead of getting him a CD, how about a record player and a record of his favourite album. This is a thoughtful and unique gift, and also makes buying for future gifts easier.
ASDA 'Fallout 76' - £45
First of all, I did not realise how expensive Xbox and PlayStation games are nowadays?! Therefore getting him the game he wants would be a great main present that will keep him busy during the Christmas period.
Superdrug 'Dior Sauvage Eau de Toilette 60ml' - £54
Aftershave is always a staple present, however, why not gift him Dior Sauvage this year. It's my favourite men's aftershave and therefore in my book you can do no wrong by giving it to him for Christmas!
ASOS 'Ted Baker Taglee Wallet & Card Holder Gift Set' - £69
If you're searching for a main present for the man in your life, then perhaps you could treat them to this Ted Baker wallet and card holder set. If he doesn't like brown, then never fear, as it comes in different styles and colours to match his personal taste.
ASDA 'Nintendo Switch Console with Neon Joy-Cons' - £249
This is the most expensive gift listed here, the Nintendo Switch. Its had standout reviews from gadget geeks and the general public alike, and would be the perfect way to bring out the competitiveness of your family this Christmas Day!
