Christmas Gift Ideas for Men

A bit of pampering, perhaps?

Does the man on your gift list love to be pampered? You could schedule an appointment for him at Elizabeth Arden, the hair salon, your local spa, or a good masseuse - or you could consider an Art of  Shaving gift set. For $100, it may be too pricey for the budget conscious person, but does come with some wonderful products: a natural badger hair shave brush, pre-shave oil, shaving cream, after shave balm, and a delightful book Bringing Art and Passion to a Daily Routine. He’ll definitely feel spoiled by you. 

Electronic heaven

So maybe he only shaves with an electric razor. Electronics such as electric razors make popular gifts and are certainly more affordable and practical. You can also consider watches, iPods and accessories, other MP3 or MP4 equipment, digital cameras, games consoles and games, satellite navigation systems, high-powered torches, popcorn makers and fondue sets, power tools ... anything that he can have fun with and might not be justified in buying himself!

Golf, fishing and other hobbies

If your man is a golf, fishing or other sporting enthusiast, there will always be something on his Christmas list! Visit a good store for inspiration as often the salespeople are enthusiasts themselves and will come up with suggestions if you don't have your own.

Gift vouchers may do the trick

If you are really stuck for ideas, a gift voucher to a local store or to an online shop such as Amazon will give him a huge range of choice and is always appreciated. Most men love to browse online if they know they don't have to get their credit card out! He may also appreciate a gift voucher to your local cinema chain or movie rental shop, or a few months' membership to an online DVD rental supplier.

Tickets for a show or sporting event

Treat the man in your life to tickets for a show or sporting event - and go with him! Now that's a good idea!

Car accessories

Many gift shops, online or off, sell brand-name cufflinks, mugs, keychains and other "masculine" accessories. He may appreciate a calendar of his favorite car, a biking Tshirt, or an in-car coffee mug!

DVDs make a great treat

Most men have a favorite movie or TV show that you could treat them to - and some of the boxed gift sets of DVDs available round Christmas time are excellent value. If you don't know the man well stick to something that nearly all men love - early seasons of Sopranos or 24, perhaps - or choose a DVD featuring his favorite sport.

Clothing

When in doubt, simplify your gift choice by getting him a Cashmere sweater in a bright color—very popular this season.  Most guys may not feel confident about their sense of color to choose one themselves and he’ll be appreciative of your thoughtfulness and good taste.
