If you’re anything like me you’ll find buying for the men in your life a bit of a struggle. We’ve teamed up with some amazing shops and brands to create a gift guide that we hope will help you with your Christmas shopping.
For The Adventurer : Water-to-Go bottle.
The Water-to-Go bottle is ideal for travelling. Not only does it reduce plastic waste, it also eliminates up to 99.9999% of all microbiological contaminants in water. This means no matter where you are, you have access to safe drinking water. They use three technologies, including mechanical filtration and activated carbon. The third technology is electrical (by a positive charge) which reduces the pore size even further and attracts the contaminants like a magnet would, and traps them inside the filter.
You can find more information and purchase the bottle from The Ordnance Survey website.

For The Drivers : Nextbase Dash Cam
Nextbase is the leading dash cam manufacturer in the UK. They offer HD quality video recordings to give a clear view of any incidents that may occur. There’s a wide range of dash cams from Nextbase with varying features depending on what you’re looking for. They really are a great gift. Anyone from tech-fans, car enthusiasts to the safety conscious and new drivers – they can offer peace of mind to all. They’re easy to use and you just never know when you’ll be thankful you have one!
The Nextbase range of dash cams can be found at Halfords, Currys, Argos and Very.

For The Whisky Drinkers
Both my dad and my husband are partial to a bit of whisky! The award winning Tomatin are one of the largest distillers in the Highlands. My husband is a big fan of the Legacy whisky, which offers a sweet taste with aromas of vanilla, marshmallow, pineapple and lemon. There’s plenty to choose from though! You can see the full range, including limited additions, on the Tomatin website.

For The Football Fans : Personalised Football Book
The Personalised Football History book from The Gift Experience is the perfect book for any football fan. My husband is a massive Liverpool fan and I love how the gift is something that little bit different. The book is full of headlines surrounding Liverpool Football Club from 1906 right up to the Champions League victory back in May. There’s plenty of football clubs to choose from both from the English and Scottish leagues. The book can also be personalised with a name added to the front cover which gives it that extra special touch.

For The Style Conscious : Ted Baker Card Holder
I love Ted Baker accessories; their bags and purses are up there with my favourites. I also love their accessories for men, including this smart steemer leather card holder. There’s plenty of room to store debit and credit cards but it’s compact enough to slip into a pocket. What it lacks in bulk it makes up for in style.
You can find the Ted Baker card wallet, amongst other great buys for men, at Mainline Menswear.

For Something A Bit More Personal : A Tailored Shirt
A personalised shirt could make the perfect gift this festive season. Hockerty offer shirts that can be designed and personalised with the recipient in mind. The shirt is then made to measure to ensure the perfect fit. Enter the recipient’s measurements including height and chest and neck size and the shirt is made to order. You can choose the fabric, collar and cuff design, pick from long or short sleeves and even have the shirt embroidered with the wearers initials. The quality of the shirt is fantastic and the shirt fits perfectly.

For The Man Who Has Everything : Let Him Choose!
If you’re still struggling to find the perfect gift, how about letting him choose his own?! The Happy Christmas Smartbox from Buy A Gift company offers an array of gift experience to choose from. The voucher is valid for 24 months and the recipient can choose from thousands of gift experiences throughout the UK. From scuba diving and ziplining to afternoon tea and pamper sessions, there’s something for everyone. For more information and choices see the Buy A Gift website.
