Now, as much as the men might be useless at knowing what to buy us ladies, I think we can all admit that sometimes they are just as difficult. What do you buy a man that has everything?
Whether its your husband, boyfriend, Dad or brother, they always prove to be the most challenging to buy for. But have no fear, before the winter nights become too prevalent and you get to far in to your advent calendar, let me show you what the men are drooling over this Christmas.
1. Soundlink Bluetooth Speakers by Bose
The entire male population love to make sure that they have the most recent gadgets and up to date technology, so you could lend them a helping hand – after all, it is Christmas! These fresh Bluetooth speakers are fresh for 2014 and priced at £119.95 (£120 would be so much easier). So they can forget about needing cables and wires to listen to their music, instead they can carry this handy gadget anywhere they wish.
2. Brown Leather Wallet by Scotch and Soda
Now a wallet can be quite a standard present for a guy. No one ever knows what to get them, so a decent leather wallet (this one’s only £50!) will never go a miss. You want to make sure they are carrying their money in style when they’re taking you out for dinner, or on a shopping spree… or neither of the above! That sounds more like it!
3. Aquatouch Wet and Dry Electric Shaver by Phillips
There is something about buying shavers that gets men all flustered and stressed. However this new gadget from Phillips could be the answer to all of their hairy troubles. For a start its wet and dry so its perfect for when they’re running late for work, as well as Sunday morning trims. But don’t be a fool and buy it from Phillips directly, get yourself down to Argos or John Lewis where you’ll find it for £39.99, as opposed to £100!
4. Desktop Mini Football Table by John Lewis
Its our trusty John Lewis again! But this time they’ve shown their lighter side with a desktop size table football. Amazing! Perfect for those guys who love novelty gifts and are partial to a laugh or two at Christmas time! Ideal for the office or even distracting the kids.. Go on, for £10 you can’t be a spoil sport, it’s Christmas!
5. Supersoft Dressing Gown by Next
The man and his dressing gown, it’s the perfect combination. Its never something that they would buy themselves because (obviously) they have more important things to spend their money on. So why don’t you do them a favour this Christmas and ditch the old robe and replace it with one of these super cosy dressing gowns from Next for just £22. Ideal!
6. Boss Bottled Unlimited Eau de Toilette by Hugo Boss
There is no denying that we all love that moment when you are walking down the street and you get a waft of someone that smells absolutely divine. Make that someone you know. Another new fragrance for this year is this from Hugo Boss. Its the perfect gift and a lot simpler to wrap than some of the kids toys! Priced at £54.40, treat them to an aftershave that will make them feel like they’re the boss.
7. Frosty Cable Knit Grey Jumper by John Lewis
Winter is not complete without a winter wooly here and there. So how about making sure their wardrobe is well stocked for the Christmas period. They’ve even named it ‘Frosty’. It must be the perfect Christmas gift! You’ll find them stocked in most high street shops but you can rely on John Lewis for this one. £49, too, That ‘aint bad.
8. Freshfeet socks by Marks and Spencer
Its no laughing matter. Socks are essential and, in fact, the perfect stocking filler. If you’re after a small gift, or a little novelty something to go alongside a present, then look no further than a pair (or two) of socks. You can find socks to fit the personality; serious ones, jokey ones, colourful ones, work ones. The list is endless. But these Freshfeet packs from M&S are only £12 and you’re getting a whole 7 pairs! Hopefully not a hole, but a whole 7 pairs!
9. Wax Cotton Messenger Bag by Barbour
Man bags are all the range these days, so whether you are a fan or not, I’m sure you know a guy that is after one. They’re a great accompaniment to the briefcase that they carry to work. This will set you back £129, but for once, spice up their fashion sense with a satchel and then see how much they thank you later.
10. Red Check Lounge Pants by River Island
The reds, the greens, the navys, the checks – they all have that Christmassy feel to them. And pyjamas are one of the most essential Christmas presents. Every year, to unwrap a fresh new pair of pyjamas is a cosy feeling in itself. So River Island are just one retailer stocking festive lounge-wear for the festive season. For £18 you can buy comfort and happiness through pyjamas. Sorted!
So if you’re one of those unlucky ladies that has to shop for men that have everything, or men that don’t want anything, hopefully this can give you a little inspiration and lighten the workload for Christmas shopping.
But we can’t forget about the kids. Coming soon is the last of the Christmas gift inspirations, ‘What the kids want for Christmas’!
