Christmas Gift Guide For Men

Now I’m sure it’s not just me that struggles when it comes to buying gifts for men. I mean, they’re all so different and so when you could be buying smellies for one, others might prefer quirky gifts or hobby items. There’s so much on the market too that trying to work out what men like is hard work.

Today I am showcasing what is on offer for the men in our lives this year and so, here is my 2019 Christmas Gift Guide For Men…

Now to start Christmas off, we all love an advent calendar. And for the fitness buff in our life, you can go for the Protein Ball Co. Advent Calendar. Containing a combination of six Vegan flavours, there is a tasty protein ball behind each window, so you can enjoy a different flavour every day. There’s also a special festive protein ball on Christmas Eve, and this year, it’s vegan too. 

For the movie buff, you could go for Cinema Tickets with Dinner Smartbox by Buyagift which is a great way to join people together with a cinema date and meal. With two tickets to see a film of your choice at a participating Vue Cinema, you can lose yourself in a film, and then discuss it afterwards, whilst you enjoy a three course meal at a popular restaurant, including Café Rouge, Zizzi, Belgo, Prezzo, ASK Italian and Bella Italia.

Because we all know a male who loves his gadgets, the Nextbase 222 Dash Cam is an ideal gift for them to have a play with, and to help them stay safe on their daily commute. The Nextbase 222 Full HD Dash Cam has a wide 140° viewing angle to give you a full view of the road to catch all the action, and easily pick out number plates or road signs clearly. Any bumps to your car or emergency breaks will be automatically recorded and saved thanks to the highly accurate G sensor, which detects changes in acceleration, it activates the camera to capture 10 seconds before the event and 20 seconds after so you know if anything was to happen, you have it all on film. And to give you peace of mind, the intelligent parking mode records any physical movement around your vehicle. 

As someone who is obsessed with safety, The Orb drinks bottle is one of the greatest gifts as it protects a cyclist from side impacts. The Orb is a brand-new bike bottle light. It is designed for side visibility, helping prevent some of the 1/3 serious accidents that occur from the side. This 700ml BPA-free bottle, is USB rechargeable, and has four super-bright LEDs which emit 72 lumens of light with 360-degree visibility. With an eight-hour constant runtime, this means that the cyclist in your house would be protected all day. 

With the new fashion of beards, a great gift is to help him with a bit of grooming, and so the Deluxe Beard Grooming Kit is a great gift for him. Inside a real leather pouch, this kit includes special Beard Scissors, a Wooden Beard Comb, Oil, and Beard Balm.

My husband loves aftershave but doesn’t like wearing such a strong scent all the time, especially when at work. The BESPOKE LONDON Fresh Citrus & Vetiver Eau Fraiche is packed with crisp, clean notes of mandarin, fresh ginger, apple and black pepper, this zesty collection is sure to energise for ready for the day ahead.
