Festive Gift Guide 2023: For Him
We’re on to the third Festive Gift Guide of the season and this time it’s for the men in your life. I’ve got a range of gift ideas which will hopefully give you inspiration for Dads, Boyfriends, Brothers, Uncles and more!
First up, is a couple of items from ARRAN Sense of Scotland from their Lochranza collection with a combination of patchouli and anise. To try a fair few items from the collection, there is a Shower & Shave Gel Discovery Gift Set. This includes a range of mini Shower gels and shaving gels. Not only this is a great way to test a few items but they are ideal for travelling and taking them on holiday. If the combination of patchouli and anise sounds appealing then you can also pick up a 100ml Mens Eau de Toilette. This would also make a great stocking filler.
Scents always make a great gift. Versace Dylan Blue is one of Stefan’s favourites and even thought I got one for his Birthday, he’s asking for it again for Christmas! Versace Dylan Blue encapsulates the sensual scents of the Mediterranean with notes of tonka bean, mineral musk and saffron. You can pick up this fragrance from literally anywhere that sells fragrances such as Boots, Notino, The Perfume Shop & Sephora.
The 12 Days of Brewdog features an assortment of the Scottish brewery’s bestselling beers, including everyone’s favourite Punk IPA (5.4% ABV) and the crisp and refreshing Lost Lager (4.5% ABV), as well as limited-edition brews and festive one-off showstoppers. I know if you’ve got a fan of trying all these beers in the family that this would be a hit! The 12 Days of Brewdog is sold online at brewdog.com, as well as in-store at Tesco, Asda, Waitrose, Co-Op, Morrisons, and Ocado for £19.50.
Also from the Brewdog family is the Lone Wolf Cactus and Lime Gin. Until recently, I actually had no idea that Brewdog did spirits. The Cactus and Lime Gin is handcrafted and distilled in small batches using bespoke copper pot stills and infusing a unique blend of the finest botanicals from across the globe. The Cactus and Lime flavours are certainly unique and would go great for taco night! It’s definitely one for gin lovers to try!
For the wine lovers, we’ve got Errazuriz Max Carmenere 2020 which is a wintery Red. This Carmenere is rich but elegant with black fruit, spicy aromas and soft tannins and has won many awards. The Errazuriz Max Carmenere 2020 is available from Tesco for £13.00.
I love a good scratch off poster and they make excellent gifts. 100 Beer to try and 100 Movies to watch are my top picks for scratch off maps for gifts for men. The movies on the map include classics such as Forrest Gump, E.T., Fight Club and Gladiator. For movie buffs, you it’s a good chance to rewatch all the classics and tick them off. Or if you’re looking to watch lots of classics, it’s a great inspiration list. The Scratch off maps are available from Rymans, very.co.uk and giftrepublic.com.
Gadgets and electronics are always a hit with men. Finding the latest gadgets and gizmos to make life easier can make an excellent gift this Christmas. Tile have a collection Bluetooth Trackers so you can keep track of where your prized possessions are located. If you’re Tile goes missing you can connect via their App to locate it by sound if it’s nearby. If you lose something when you’re out and about, Tile can help you locate it by showing its most recent location on a map. Tile have a super thin tracker which you can put in your waller or narrow spaces. Therefore you’ve always got eyes on your wallet! Tile Slim is available from uk.tile.com and Amazon.
Christmas is the best time to be playing games around the fire after stuffing you’re face quite literally with stuffing and turkey. Give the gift of games this Christmas and you’ve can whip them out and play them during your post-turkey dinner food coma. New Phone, who dis? is a an adult party game so maybe not one if the kids are still up but best played after a few drinks. The 100% offline party game where players compete to create the funniest text message thread. Players rotate drawing a sent card while the rest of the group competes for the funniest reply.
Secondly, Lost 4 Words is aimed at 10 years upwards and is a quick-fire word game; pit your wits and knowledge against your opponents and the clock! Be the first player or team to correctly identify the connecting word and reach the finish line on the scoreboard. It’s a brilliant family game! Lost 4 Words is available from Amazon and www.happypuzzle.co.uk.
Keep warm this Winter with Tog24. They have an amazing selection of outerwear and accessories to keep you warm as we go into the cooler months. I think hats, gloves and scarves are always a good option for a present as people always want to be warm! Whether you are actually buying for a man in your life or anyone else. The Girdlestone Hat from Tog24 is pretty versatile and will suit the style of main men – there’s also matching women’s hats too!
Finally, If you know a big music fan and potentially a vinyl player owner, this one could be for you. Vinyl players are pretty popular nowadays, and what better way to show off what you are currently listening to than this Now Playing Record Holder. This is from PinPressUK on Etsy, and not too expensive and of really great quality.
