Where to buy the best Christmas gifts for men?
As well as the retailers we've included above, you can get some great gifts for men over at Firebox, Menkind and we do love a John Lewis gift as well (let's be honest, you can get everything there). Whether they're tech-savvy or have a green thumb, there's something for everyone. Plus, if you want a thoughtful personalised gift, check out Not On The High Street or Etsy.
What are the best gift ideas for men?
Aside from the obvious, which are socks and aftershave, there are loads of things you can buy the man in your life. If they love their home comforts, why not get them a new set of pyjamas, a dressing gown or a pair of slippers? Grooming sets and skincare bits are always going to go down a treat.
Then there are hobbies. Whether it's cooking, reading, cars, music, sports or something else entirely, pick something from his latest hobby and stick to it. If he loves nothing more than spending time in the kitchen, we're sure he'd appreciate a new apron or chopping board. If it's music, he might love a new guitar case or a vinyl rack for his growing collection.
