Christmas Gift Guide: HIM

Welcome to part 2 of my Christmas Gift Guides, here are a few gift ideas for the guys in your life, whether it's your Boyfriend or Husband, Brother, Son, Dad or Uncle.

Firstly, for the men in your life that love to pamper themselves this Soap and Glory All-Out Phwoar bath and body gift set is perfect, obviously I have never used the men's stuff before but I absolutely adore the women's products. I really like their packaging, it's got a 1950's look to it and the names of their products are a clever play on words. This men's gift set includes; Soap'er Man Hair & Body Wash, Eau Man Body Spray, Eau Man Eau de Toilette, A Man's Got to Dew Facial Moisturiser Balm, A Shave to Love Shave Gel, Billy Wildhair Hair Sculpting Putty & Duck Soap on a Rope. You can buy this for £25 from the Soap & Glory's online store or from Boots.


Now for the sophisticated men in your life, maybe your Dad, Boyfriend or Husband would love these Initial Cufflinks from notontthehighstreet.com. These are great because you can personalise them and they look super stylish. They're £16, now I don't know if that is alot or a little for some cufflinks but when you think that they have that lovely sentimentle touch, I think that they are definitely worth the money. 

If you have any technology fanatic men that you want to treat this Christmas then a SmartWatch is probably one of the things that will be on their Christmas list. As you may all know the one that hasn't long been unveiled and is due to be released in early 2015 is the Apple iWatch, which is no doubt going to cost you an arm and a leg. So, I came across the Sony SmartWatch, it is a little more affordable but will still satisfy any technology needs, it's Android compatible, comes in Black and White and is £99. You can get your hands on this from the Sony store or Argos, just a heads up the ones that Argos sell are more expensive.

If you're struggling for a gift for your teenage Son or your Boyfriend then I hope this solves that problem for you. A Smartphone Projector, that's right you can turn any room into a home cinema from your Smartphone. I know what you're thinking, well how much is this unique little gadget going to cost me because I thought exactly the same but to be honest you may be pleasantly surprised as it's only around the £15.99 mark. As far as I am aware, I think you can only buy this online - unless you have some sort of gadget shop nearby - but here are the online stores I know of that sell it; IWOOT, Not on the Highstreet,  Prezzy Box, Firebox and Luckies.  



  

There a couple of fragrances that I have bought for lads before, the first is Paco Rabanne 1 Million 100ml, it smells so nice and I don't know a man that doesn't like it. I think that the price of this will vary depending on where you go to buy it, so here is a list of some places that sell it along with how much; The Perfume Shop (£56.50), Boots (£56.50), Debenhams (£57.00),  The Fragrance Shop (£56.50), Superdrug (£44.00) and John Lewis (£44.00).

The other fragrance is Tom Ford For Men 100 ml, my other half loves this and would be over the moon if he unwrapped this on Christmas Day. Now, this can be a little more pricey than the last aftershave but it is quite strong and so it's a case of a little goes a long way, my boyfriend still has his from September 2013! I would say that the scent is rich and woody. You can buy this aftershave from the following stores for £65; House of Fraser, John LewisDebenhams and Selfridges.

Another gadget-y type thing, this is quite a gadget filled gift guide isn't it? But I thought that this would make an awesome present for a teenager (14+ due to legislation) or if you have a big kid for a Husband/Boyfriend or a Dad then it would be perfect for them too. I found this Micro Drone - Mid Air Stunt Flier on wickeduncle.com and is £59.95. I have heard of quite a few people buying these recently either for themselves or as a gift so if Wicked Uncle have sold out, here are some other places you can get them from and how much they retail at; Hot Craze (£65.99) and Amazon (£44.95).

This next gift is definitely a no brainer, nearly every guy I know and I am sure you know plenty that has stayed up until the early hours just watching that one more episode that turns into watching an entire series. Yep you've got it, it's Breaking Bad! The complete series retails at around £45 and you can get your mitts on this insanely addictive series from Amazon, Tesco, Play.com and Zavvi

I am pretty sure a few of you have Boyfriends or Husbands that spend way too much of their evenings and weekends playing FIFA instead of paying any attention to you but we don't love them any less, so why not feed the addiction and light up their face on Christmas Day with FIFA 15. The price ranges from £24.99 to £57.99 depending on whether you buy it for PS3, PS4, XboxOne, Xbox 360, PS Vita, Wii or Nintendo 3DS and whether you get the original or Ultimate Team Edition. The main place that you can get this from is Game, but you will be able to get it from other places like Asda, Tesco and Amazon

The last gift idea for this Gift Guide is another that will divide your other half's attention, it's the new Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, why not be the best Girlfriend/Wife this Christmas and get this for them. The price of this game ranges between £39.99 and £69.99 depending on whether you get it for the PC, PS3, PS4, XboxOne or Xbox360. The main place that you will be able to buy this from is Game but you will be able to get it from various other places like Asda, Tesco and Amazon.


I hope that this gave you some ideas on what to treat the men in your life to this Christmas, pop back tomorrow for stocking fillers under £15
