Before we get into top gifts, if you’re looking for something a little different then why not check out masculine Christmas stockings for men? These stockings are stuffed full of essentials for the man in your life.
5 Great Gifts For Men This Christmas You Must Buy
Socks
The biggest stocking stuffer gift of them all. Do men (and some women) just not buy socks all year as they know that Santa will be bringing them fresh socks in their stocking. Yes, that does mean, however, that they’ve got to dispose of those threadbare and holy socks that have become their favourites. Why not opt for a box of 15 pairs from the London Sock Company. Alternatively, give the gift of socks on subscription. The Sock Club has been featured in GQ, Forbes and The Times and is a perfect gift for that hard to buy for kinda guy.
Boxers
It goes with the territory. Socks and boxers. They won’t replace them until you do. Stuff their stocking with their favourite brand name boxers or their simple basics. You can pick up packs as well as individual pairs from most stores. If you’re in the North East this festive season why not check out the new stores in the Metrocentre.
Aftershave
There’s nothing better than a man who smells good! Our family have a standing joke about my Granda falling into his aftershave bottle as he is 100% the best smelling gent on the planet. Show your appreciation for the men in your life with a good bottle of scent.
My top five favourite scents for men are;
Kilian – Dark Lord
Azzaro – The Wanted
Creed – Aventus
Chanel – Bleu
Tom Ford – Noir
Shaving Cream & Razors
If big bushy beards are your thing then let it grow. If the gift recipient is more about keeping their facial hair short and manageable then why not check out shaving creams and razors as a gift. Again there are multiple subscription services that send blades on a rolling basis alongside a selection of skincare products.
