This is your ultimate Christmas Gift Guide bringing you 24 Christmas gifts for your boyfriend or husband.
I’ve already given you gift guides for Mom and Teens, now we’re on to the men. And if you’re anything like me, this is the least enjoyable gift to buy because it’s the hardest!
I’ve tried so many approaches to buying gifts for the males in my life, but it’s a real challenge every year. Last Christmas I nailed it though (even if I do say so myself) and I am pleased to say each gift selected was well received and has been used regularly, if not daily.
I’m bringing all that experience, plus wisdom from previous failures (so ungrateful!) into this gift guide, and I truly believe you will find something that will be appreciated this year. Disclaimer, not everything on this list is exciting, but none of these options will be chucked to the back of the cupboard and forgotten about.
Many of them are tried and tested successes, and you can adapt the ideas to suit your recipient’s personal tastes and style. From the tech they won’t be able to live without to the skincare they don’t know they need, here’s 24 Christmas gift ideas for your boyfriend or husband.
1. Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Face Wash
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that all men love Facial Fuel. Whether he’s a skincare newbie or a seasoned Kiehl’s user, this giant bottle of the good stuff will be welcomed. It will last for months to come.
2. Stanley Classic Legendary Mug
Think of this as the male equivalent of the iconic Stanley Cup. This robust insulated mug is great for taking coffee on the go, camping, or even keeping a drink hot at home while he works. A useful gift with a bit of style.
3. CurrentBody LED Mask
The gift he doesn’t know he needs yet. If he’s skincare curious, he’ll be up for some skin-boosting tech. This is easy to use for just 10 minutes a day and gives great results. Also, you can borrow it…
4. Adidas Men’s Tee
I no longer attempt to buy clothes for my fussy males, but anyone into sports will appreciate this simple, non-offensive Adidas top. It will be good for the gym, football, or casual wear. A failproof sportswear piece for all.
5. Sony Portable Speaker
This is a decent little speaker that won’t break the bank. It connects via Bluetooth and is great to take to the beach, on holiday, or just use around the house. Everyone could do with one.
6. Hexagon Beer Glasses
A chilled beer tastes different when sipped from a good glass. Refine his Friday night experience with a set of beer glasses to enjoy at home. These hexagon-shaped cups are modern and fit a whole pint inside. They’ll also be handy for serving guests juice or cocktails.
7. Nike Crew Socks
His annual sock re-stock sorted! They grumble about receiving socks from Christmas but we all know they’re relying on getting some to replenish the holey ones. These Nike ankle socks are great for all ages and styles – it’s the best stocking filler out there.
8. Serman Slim Bifold Wallet
Is his wallet looking a little battered? Treat him to a new one this Christmas. This Serman leather wallet is super slim, meaning it easily slides into a trouser pocket and comes in a variety of colors if you want something different from black.
9. Apple Air Tags
If you’re sick of hearing “Where’s my wallet?” “Where are my car keys?” etc. etc., then this is the gift for you! And him. You can’t go wrong with a pack of Apple Air Tags. He can scatter them across important items and never lose anything ever again. You can upgrade this gift with an Air Tag key chain too.
10. Lillier Merino Wool Scarf
This gift idea is of course dependent on your location and local climate, but if your winters are chilly, a luxe knitted accessory will go down a treat. This merino wool scarf features contrasting colors for a smart look and comes in a gift box.
11. Philip B Peppermint Avocado Shampoo
Ok hear me out, most men never use good shampoo (let me have this sweeping generalization). Yet, a luxury formula is such a treat to use. So if you have a very hard-to-buy-for man, this is a good gift. My bro and husband both enjoyed their random shampoo gift last Christmas.
12. Men’s Cotton Sweatpants
There is nothing better than coming home and slipping into something elasticated. Give your other half this simple pleasure with these soft sweatpants. They are comfy, cosy, and decent enough to wear out and about.
13. Dior Sauvage EDT
Fragrance is hard to gift as a surprise, but you should be safe with Dior Sauvage. This universally-loved perfume is classically masculine with notes of vanilla over an ambery-wood base.
14. American Crew Hair Fiber
American Crew is one of the best haircare brands out there for men’s hair styling products. This high-hold fiber will keep his hair in place all day and is superior to many drugstore brands – a handy stocking filler.
15. Paron Vintage Turntable
This beautiful record player serves up cool interior vibes as well as playing vinyl. The built-in speaker can also be connected to Bluetooth so you can play tunes from your phone or laptop. A fabulous gift for the home.
16. Oral-B Deep Clean Electric Toothbrush
If he’s still old-school with his basic toothbrush, treat him to an upgrade. This could fall under ‘boring gifts” but it’s something he’ll actually use every day. The gift of cleaner teeth, what could be better?
17. KormalC Leather Duffle Bag
A good leather weekend bag will last a lifetime and only look better as it ages. This dark brown holdall has a cool, vintage look and is the perfect size for a weekend away or hand luggage.
18. Casabrews Espresso Machine
If you’re buying for a coffee connoisseur, look no further than this stylish little espresso machine. It will take up minimal counter space (bonus!) as it serves up perfect lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos at home.
19. Beetle Bottle Opener
Another great stocking stuffer that’s always handy to have around the home. A bottle opener is best when it’s novelty in my opinion; there are so many weird and wonderful designs to choose from. I love this golden beetle.
20. The Watch Deck Display Case
If you’re buying for someone with an expensive taste in watches, the next best thing to a new timepiece is something cool to display them in. This case is modern with a perspex design that will show off his prized collection. The base drawer is also handy for cufflinks and coins.
21. Tony’s Chocolonely Bar Pack
This gift falls firmly into the “stocking stuffer” category, but what a stuffer to receive! This choc is delicious and gives serious Charlie and the Chocolate Factory vibes with paper and foil wrapping. Gift it, try and eat some yourself.
22. Adidas Adilette Slides
A pair of slides is so handy for shuffling about in. Whether he needs a house shoe or something to leave by the door to slide on quickly, these will do the job. The all-black style is easy to wear and will go with pretty much everything.
23. Tweezer and Nail Set
I gifted a similar set many, many Christmases ago and it’s still used! This gift is a cheap win and will be a handy addition to any bathroom cabinet or wash bag.
24. Bose Ultra Open Airbuds
Upgrade his Airpods for these sleek Bose airbuds. They have a multipoint Bluetooth connection that makes it easy to switch between your laptop and phone, making them ideal for running, during travel, and taking work calls-they’ll get daily use.
And that wraps up the list! Did you spot anything suitable for your loved one? Good luck with the shopping!
