Hey Whisperers,
As promised, today i will bring you my gift guide for men. Now i do have to admit that this post was a lot harder for me to write than the gift guide for her (read that post here) and i do think that, that is partially because I'm a girl and i obviously know more about what girls want but i also think it's because there really isn't a lot out there for guys at Christmas. So it took awhile to get this post together but i hope you guys like it!!
Gifts For Him
Just like in my last gift guide I'm going to be splitting the gifts into different categories, with each category having 2 affordable and 2 luxury products!
Bath, Body and Skincare
This Lynx pack is something I'm sure most guys have seen at least once over the years. This pack contains 2 body sprays, 2 body washes and a loofah which is great for £13. I have brought these for friends and family members over the past few years and they're a quick and easy buy plus they smell AMAZING.
I've never really seen the Dove kits in person but when is saw this online i thought it would perfect for this gift guide. This gift set comes in a metal tin with 2 mini body washes. 2 mini face washes and an anti perspirant spray. I love the fact that all the products are mini because it makes them super cute! This is the perfect gift if you have a guy in your life who loves the travel too.
Luxury
I have never seen Molton Brown products before but when i saw this product i remembered that Mark Ferris mentioned the brand in a video not to long ago so i thought it would be a great option for a luxury product. Now i do know that £75 is a lot for a gift set but you do get a body wash, spray, body scrub bar and a deodorant so all together I don't think that it is a bad deal.
This gift set is a very popular set that boots sell every year. For £50 you get a Jack Wills backpack, 2 body washes, 2 body sprays and a flask which to be honest is a great deal. If you have a boyfriend, brother, dad, cousin etc who loves Jack Wills this is a perfect gift set for them. Boots also tend to put sets like this in their 'star buy' offer where they half the price so keep your eye out for that!
Fragrance
Affordable
I have smelt this spray more times than i wish to count, when i worked in the pharmacy this was one of our big sellers at Christmas time which meant people were constantly spraying the sample. This spray smells amazing and for the price it's a great gift. In this gift set you also get a shower gel which lets be honest you can never have too many of.
I've never smelt any of the Ted Baker mens sprays but just the look of this set made me want to put it in the gift guide, it's just so stinking cute! In this set you get 4 mini fragrance which i think is great for £16. I think at Christmas mini sizes are perfect because it gives people the opportunity to try out a variety of new products without breaking the bank.
Luxury
This fragrance smells incredible. It is a strong scent so if the person you're buying this for isn't a fan of strong fragrances this won't be for them. In this gift set you get both the 90ml fragrance and a 20ml miniature bottle too which for £62.10 is definitely worth it as you pay the same for the 90ml fragrance on it's own. So if you are looking to get this for a loved one the gift set is a great option for the same price!
I'm pretty sure every guy has smelt this aftershave. I love the smell of this aftershave, it's such a universal smell that suits a lot of people. In this gift set you get the 75ml spray and a shower gel which seems to be pretty regular with mens fragrance sets. For £42.50 i think this is a great deal.
Gadgets
Affordable
I brought one of these projectors from a different brand and i love it. It's so simple to use and it's a great present for someone who loves to watch videos on their phone, you can use it with pretty much any smart-phone and all you have to do is insert your phone into the slot and it projects the screen onto the wall! I do suggest projecting onto a plain wall, on the highest brightness and charging your phone fully before using! But for £20 it's a great gadget!
Now i know these aren't technically a gadget but i wanted to include them in this gift guide so...here they are. These are 4 Game of Thrones shot glasses, obviously they're not for younger boys but if you have a game of thrones crazy guy in your life (which I'm sure most people do) these are the perfect gift! For £8 they're pretty reasonably priced making them only £2 a glass!
Luxury
I'm pretty sure everyone has seen, used or wanted a drone at some point this year and I've got a feeling they're going to be a very popular gift. This drone comes with a HD camera which is an added plus. Obviously it is an expensive gift for £129.99 but it is also an amazing one that I'm sure would make any gadget mad guy in your life very happy.
Just like the drone I'm Virtual Reality has blew up over the past year. When i was looking for VR headsets most of them were £300+ however this one by google is only £69.00 and it looks amazing. I have tried VR on the Oculus for Samsung and i think it's amazing so i think this product is great! You can play games, go on 360 tours all around the world and watch 360 videos too, for £69 it's an amazing deal.
I hope you've enjoyed reading this post! If you're thinking of getting any of these products for a special guy in your life let me know below!!

Merry Christmas,

Great list! I find men the most difficult to buy for too
ReplyDeleteI find it so hard too, i think that the main problem is the selection of things for guys in stores, there's so much for women but barley anything for men!
