Christmas Present Ideas?

[watermelon sugar]

I was gonna get my fella Fifa for Christmas but ended up giving him it when it came out because he was excited bless him. Hes 30
He's asked for a coat im gonna get him a parka. Seen a lovely one in George that's green & black
I'm also getting him Avengers on the Ps4. He is not worthy of the ps5 and I dont have that money entered a few comps just in case for him though
I'm also getting him boxers, socks, rubber slippers. He wears my rubber sole leopard print ones because the ones his Mum got him last Christmas slap on the floor fussy man

Random option for your Dad but what about cuff links or a tie clip? It's an accessory kind of like a watch.

I second this one.. OP you said your dad is in the watch business. My dad is obsessed with watches too, it’s unreal. A few years ago I got him a pair of cuff links that were essentially the inner cogs of a watch. He absolutely loved them and said it was really thoughtful.

I can’t remember where I got them from, but I just googled it and there’s lots to choose from!

Fragrance
Skincare/bath set (a nice one like Kiehl's men's range)
Pyjamas
A nice winter coat / jacket
Socks, underwear
Vinyl / box set of their favourite music (my father loved this, got him back into vinyl collecting)
Likewise some people (like me) still listen to CDs in the car. Always an easy one
A nice bottle of gin or whiskey. A gift set where it comes with the glasses, ice balls etc. in a nice box
A framed photo or photos. Can print the photos off from your phone in Asda and then put them in lovely frames. TK Maxx do unique ones.
A lovely sherpa throw for the sofa during winter
Slippers
A new backpack/bag/briefcase for work or school
Video games for gamers (I steer away because I haven't got a clue but if you can ask a relative or
whomever for some ideas for games then that's good)
Books
If they like cooking, endless ideas - kitchen gadgets, new chopping boards, a beautiful knife block set, a collection of hot sauces, a spice rack, cookbooks
If they are in a new home - a new kettle / microwave set, bedding, general homeware
A new wallet
Bedside table docking table where it has a charger, a place for watches, glasses, etc to go. Can get some lovely wooden ones.
Fun gifts like boardgames, cards, "funny" presents depending on the person.

If they're extremely tricky then a gift card is always nice; even supermarket ones for . They'll always be used. Personally I like seeing people open presents so I tend to avoid them.

Boxers and socks are a given, Every bloke gets boxers and socks.

I suggested just buying for the kids this year, but it didn't go down very well .
I think adults can buy themselves thinks they want anytime, and we end up with too much clutter, and things we don't want/ need.

I have zero clue what to get my 14 year old son. We know the big present but I would like to get him some little presents as well.

My stepson is 14 and his present pile is much smaller this year! He has his main present and a couple of things that go with it, then he has a tracksuit, pair of trainers, couple of T-shirt’s, a Hype watch, smellies. I’ve bought him 3 new games too which all of the family can play together. Don’t Get Got, Herd Mentality and the Logo game. I’m just going to go to B&M and get him a load of sweets for his stocking. He loves super noodles so might get him a couple of packs of those as a joke Last year we got him a Greggs gift card to help fund his sausage roll habit too

I’m getting my boyfriend some UGG slippers this year (might be nice for your dad too?). Honestly he wears mine more than I do and says “I just can’t believe they’re so soft and warm” everytime I catch him so he’s getting his own

For the man in your life......

........as a joke!

Amazing ideas here think you’ve just sorted it for my whole family!!

Omg thank you I’m going to have a look now, that’s an amazing idea!! The watch obsession is so out of hand ahaha. Thank you!!

 

[HelloStereo]

My dad likes beer so I'm going to go on some craft beer websites and put together a bespoke box for him. My brother told me he wanted jeans and gave me the link to the ones he wants. He won't be surprised come Christmas but at least I know he will wear them.

Other than that I usually just buy books and jumpers for them.

 

[Peeky_Mink]

Some sort of "experience" voucher (if you think they'd actually use it?). Or a simple gift card so that they can choose something for themselves, along with a bottle of their fave booze or sweets or chocolates or whatever their thing is?

 

[coconochanel]

I once gave a shoe polishing kit for a secret santa gift and he loved it.

 

[malolo]

Hahaha, something that's a step up from lush & radox, why I was in need of help. Thanks very much, will have look at these

I was worried you'd come back and say what I'd suggested were 'every day' things Hope you find something nice for her.

 

[Saddlesoap]

My dad loves cooking, so bought him a Spicery set, will get three deliveries of different spices to make curries with.

I think a hamper is always nice, buy some nice foods that they might not treat themselves to, but not just chocolates and wine.

If a keen gardener a planter and bulbs, Bee/insect hotel, Bee/bird baths

FIFA is just a given thank you!

Would he like an antique watch or even a pocket watch?

I only buy for 3 males. My brother gets an Everton item of clothing, this year it's a hoodie. If they support football teams there are loads of ideas - clothing, prints, beer glasses etc. My boyfriend's son is 13, last year I got him an Echo dot but he didn't really use it, this year I've got him Zlatan's autobiography and a big Jaffa Cake tube. Boyfriend is harder - I've got him a limited edition bottle of his favourite spirit and an Ordnance Survey puzzle book (this is in a series and I think would be good for lots of males!). Still need ideas though, it's usually a night away somewhere.
Other successful male things I've bought in the past are spotify vouchers, restaurant vouchers, wine rack, chilli/spice sets and a food smoker.

Hey everyone, I have literally no clue what to get for the males in my life this Christmas!

There's my dad and my boyfriend. My dad is obsessed with watches (he has every watch under the sun as it's technically his business), he has a skin condition where he can't wear aftershave, sprays or have any bath stuff. There's my main ideas out the window. I have no clue!

My boyfriend is 20 and we've been together for 3 years now. He's very picky with clothes and he already has a lot of sprays and aftershaves.

I'm wondering is there anything outside of the basics to get boys for Christmas?? I find they're so much harder to buy for. Does anybody have any ideas at all? All are appreciated

clothes
Trainers
Air pods/other ear phones
Alcohol
Box set of DVD he likes
Subscription to a streaming service
Monthly subscription to have something he likes delivered (we got my brother a craft cider subscription one year, he would get a box of 6 bottles every month for a year)
Wallet

What about a watch box, my husband collects watches, and he loved his

 

[Yel]

Any ideas what to buy someone whos vegan?

A cheese kit, because even if they've got one they'll want another. There are cheaper and smaller ones than this

Amazon product
