Festive Gift Guide 2024: For Him

Another day, another Festive Gift Guide. This Festive Gift Guide is all about what to buy for the men in your life. This guide will help you find some great ideas of the perfect present to buy for your Dad, Husband, Brother or even Uncle. I typically find men the hardest to buy for and usually it’s a pack of socks as Plan B. I’m hoping you will be inspired further than a few socks sets.

Starting off strong with an aftershave. You can never go wrong with an Aftershave as a gift. It’s one of those things that typically men won’t go out and buy themselves but will rely on receiving as a gift. Speaking from experience from Stefan. Perfume Direct have some excellent offerings this season. I’ve picked out Gucci Guilty as an excellent gift to buy the man in your life. Gucci Guilty Pour Homme is a fresh yet woody fragrance with notes of rose, chilli pepper, orange blossom and Cedarwood.

Other top picks for aftershaves this season include; Hugo Boss Bottled, Jimmy Choo Man Intense, Dior Sauvage and Calvin Klein Eternity.

L’Occitane has a wonderful range of Christmas gifts this year. I was recommended that the Nourishing Shea Butter Collection would make a great gift for the gentleman in your life. Shea butter is a great product to offer hydration to your skin during the colder months whilst protecting and nourishing. The Nourishing Shea Butter Collection includes their Shower Cream, Hand Cream, Body Lotion and Milk Soap. It’s presented in a gorgeous gift box and would be an excellent gift for the ultimate self-care experience. If you have someone with a sweet tooth in your life, The Sweet Hamper Company have you covered! They offer hampers of all sizes, filled with all sorts of sweet treats. I think this is such an excellent idea and you really get a range of different sweets! The hamper in the photo above is the standard Christmas Sweets Hamper and includes some festive treats, along with some classic favourites such as Rainbow Drops, Flumps, Chewits, Skittles and so much more! Not only can you buy hampers but they do smaller boxes, jars or even bouquets of sweets and chocolates! It’s safe to say that this gift will go down a treat at Christmas with your loved ones!

Staying on the more indulgent sweet side of things. Cocoba Chocolate is a brand that I’ve only just become familiar with this year but they sure do have some delicious gifts! Who doesn’t love a bit of chocolate at Christmas?! Induldge with the Cocoba Milk and White Hot Chocolate Bomb with marshmallows. It’s the perfect stocking filler to then enjoy on Christmas Day evening in front of the TV whilst watching Gavin & Stacey. The brand also has a huge range of Gruffalo treats which I’ll be sharing more in my Festive Gift Guide: For Little Ones. You can purchase Cocoba Chocolate direct from their website: https://www.cocobachocolate.com/

Celebrate the season in style with the new festive tasting pack from The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, the world’s largest and most unconventional whisky club. Inside a beautifully designed gift box, recipients will find three unique 50ml bottles of the Society’s limited-edition single malts. Each bottle is paired with a playful, flavour-inspired name and entertaining tasting notes that bring the experience to life. The Gift packs are also available for non-members too! If Gin is more your tipple, look no further than Bathtub Gin! Made with a unique blend of botanicals and a classic, rich flavor profile, it stands out for its smoothness and aromatic complexity. Bathtub Gin makes an excellent choice for gin lovers and it’s a big favourite in our house. Bathtub Gin is available to purchase from Masters of Malt, Sainsbury’s, Amazon and Morrisons. It’s not a Festive Gift Guide: For Him without including this iconic brand. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was one of the most sold gifts at Christmas for men. The Lynx Africa Duo Giftset is the perfect stocking filler and it will always get used! Practical yet indulgent, it’s ideal for teenagers, young adults, or anyone who appreciates a reliable, classic scent. The packaging this year calls its ‘The O.G.’ – and it really is! The Lynx Africa Giftset can be bought from so many stores, this was picked up from B&M! Puzzles and Games are another excellent present idea for Christmas. For those who love London, you’ve got the puzzle for curious wanders. This includes a 1000 piece puzzle and 20 shaped puzzle pieces giving you hours of entertainment. I’ve got to say the illustrations on this puzzle is lovely! With this puzzle you can reveal some of the capital’s hidden secrets making this gift excellent for history buffs, puzzle fans and Londoners. London: A Guide for Curious Wanderers can be bought from WHSmith, Amazon and Bookshop.For any budding cooks in the house, we all know how great the Pinch of Nom cookbooks are. There is actually a Pinch of Nom 2025 calendar which showcases different delicious recipes helping you get inspired on new things to cook! The foodie items on the front of the calendar sure do look yummy too! You can’t go wrong with a new calendar as everyone needs one to keep track of plans too!

I’m rather excited to share this item on this year’s Festive Gift Guides. From Great Bean Bags we’ve got their designer velvet hi-back gamer bean bag. This is excellent for any gamers in the family who you’d rather not buy another video game. With this gift they can sit comfortable and in luxury whilst playing their games. I know this one is quite pink so may not suite the boys in your life but the bean bags come in 10 different colours! You can also order a fabric sample so you know exactly what you are getting before you order. The bean bag has a hi-back which makes it ultra comfortable for gaming! Great Bean Bags have a huge variety of products so if you’re looking for something slightly different, they’ll have you covered! They even sell Bean Bag sofas and Bean Bags made for pets!

Finally, we have the fail-safe gift of giving a gift card. Whilst it is lovely to receive a perfectly picked out present, it’s also pretty lovely to receive a gift card where you can literally choose what you want! The Lifestyle Gift Cards is an excellent choice when buying a gift card as they can be used in over 300 retailers! You are literally spoilt for choice! The Lifestyle Gift Card can be used in places like John Lewis, M&S, Nando’s, Ticketmaster & ASOS.

I hope this Festive Gift Guide has sparked some ideas for what to get the men in your life. Happy Shopping & stay tuned for more Festive Gift Guides coming this week!
