GIFT GUIDE FOR HIM 🎄✨ Christmas 2024 present ideas for men

[Music] hello guys welcome back welcome back to my channel and my gift Guide Series we are today focusing on the gift guide for him and as I did mention in my gift guide for her the previous video that I did a lot of these things like with that video they're kind of gender neutral so you could just get ideas from both gift guides for him or for her but there are a few more things that I'm thinking bit more tailored towards the boys in our life the men yeah next up is going to be stocking fillers and budget gift guiders which again I've got loads of other suggestions for him and for her in that video so make sure if you haven't already subscribed with that notification Bell so you will be notified once that video is live we say I think the key to getting good gifts for him is just tailor it to the individual you're buying for so whether they're a practical guy they like a bit like my dad he's like I need this I need this I need this okay Christmas tick off whether they're the pranker they're like the joke things the funny things whether they like the sporty things whether they like the experiences whether they like I don't know the treats the foodie things Tom's very much a foodie so he likes foodie things the fashion guy do you know what I mean you just kind of tailor it to what it is that they like from gamer to Gardener whatever they like tailor it to the individual so yeah I tried to cover all bases with this gift guide and I'm going to start with the more budget items let's start let's start with the sentimental type the one that's a bit cute and a bit cheesy and likes the kind of thoughtful gift this is very much a budget idea and I picked up these from Home Bargains they were 99p and they basically are just a pack of envelope and cards I've seen on Pinterest a really cute DIY gift would be um to reasons why I love you open one a month or something like that or open me when is a really nice idea so you kind of like write a letter to your loved one and then on the front it says open me when feeling anxious feeling overwhelmed feeling happy whenever they're experiencing it's like a little open me when you're feeling some kind of way I found this in a shop called homebird which is local to me there's quite a few in the north so if you have a homebird pop in they've got these like wooden games so for kind of like a games type setup I really like the dark woods it's kind of like more of a homey gift maybe something you could even buy for a couple um but they've got loads of different wooden games and I thought this was just a really simple little wooden box they were literally about I think this one was oh here we go $8.95 another sentimental gift and this really is just cater to your budget but the prices start from around 1516 and it's from the brand uh well once upon is the brand that does these books but obviously like any kind of photo book memory book I think is a cute idea so I actually had one created our story so far celebrating 10 years together Tom and I have been together 10 years in August so just over 10 years now and I just did a chronological book of loads of different photos of all the different places we visited do you know there was only one place where I couldn't find any photos from when we visited and that was Edinburgh and I loved that trip so it's a shame that I've kind of missed that out of this book but otherwise can I show you these um they're kind of like cringy we look so young I mean it was 10 years ago that we first met this is our little trip to Dublin together which funny enough when I'm filming this Tom is actually in Dublin right now oh who remembers Ralph Ralph the Beagle he was a little puppy that Tom and his best friend all look Tom and his best friend had when I first met Tom and they were living together so it's really his his friend's dog but lived with Tom a little Ralph oh cute so anyway a cute little thing I put this on the front cover 10 years of love laughter creating memories and all the little moments in between let's raise a glass of Diet Coke cuz we don't really drink together and cheers to a decade of love and many more years to come now this is one that Tom insisted I include within this gift guy because he is a big big fan of Yeti he loves a coffee to go when we have our little morning dog walks every single weekend we're very like routine with it and every single time he will take his coffee to go in this Yeti flask so they've got this smaller size which is perfect for like cortados flat whites like smaller coffees um but he also has a larger one for water but the brand in itself Yeti he has suggested that include because he's a fan so therefore your man might be a fan too and obviously they're all different prices depending on what size you get but I think that one was about £20 okay for this sporty lover I've actually got these two included then Tom's stocking this year so this is um from CIS apparently they it's a good brand of gels for running and Tom's got into his running lately so for more longer distance I think I think he signed up to do the London Marathon I don't know if he's going to do it or if he's got approved or not I don't know he's never tried gels before so I thought for the longer runs that he does I would get him this variety pack and these are £10 so you can have a good taste of which ones he likes before he buys a bigger pack of the flavor that he likes and then also for more hiking so we can maybe do this um take this for Tom and I if we both go on like a really nice long dog walk SL hike is Kendall mint cake it's a classic if you've never had it you're missing out it's basically just a lump of sugar minty flavored sugar that's honestly what it's like but it's good for keeping you going on longer distance walks and Hikes and just that little bit of a sugar rush little pickme up um super minty fresh and delicious and just the best so that one was about £6 this is more of like a funny joke gift table gift stocking filler gift which I had to include honestly I couldn't believe it when I actually tried them and they work so this is called lazy readers read at a 90° angle or watch TV at a 90° angle whatever you want to do it's so funny the concept of this is just hilarious so it's essentially these like mirrored glasses things which you can like if I put them on now I'm looking at my lap which is crazy like now I can see you wow that's not a good angle especially if you got like a TV in your bedroom you can just lie with your head back on the pillow like that and you're watching the TV that's honestly so funny and they really do work how much of these I've got these written down here $7.99 for these also if they're a Kindle reader so again men women whoever a goose neck they're called and clicker so again to be able to have hands through Reading which are from about 152 depending on um which ones you get we've got a again kind of like novelty funny table gift things to do while you go to the loop and it's just literally like a little puzzle book that you could just throw in a bathroom or again have as a bit of like a joke funny gift these are I think it was about £4 for that so for the gardener I've got these two items that I um thought I would include as little kind of gift ideas for Christmas gifting and it is just a little both from the garden center Little Gardener soap and also some plant labels I'm going to throw these in one of my dun Elm stockings which if you missed my Vlog basically dun elm's delivering Joy Christmas tree where you can pick a tag and put some gifts in a bag and take it back into store for um someone in need this Christmas one of my gift tags I bought was for a I think it was 83-year-old male who's into gardening bits so I thought I could include these within that for him these were £9 and I think this was about3 or4 again kind of stocking filler gift this Campfire Story dice this would be good for maybe a dad that takes their kids camping cuz you could get kids involved with this one it's just a really cute little wholesome activity activity game campfire thing that you can do and it's literally a kind of gets your creative juices F that's why I think it' be quite good good to do with kids this one so you've got once upon a time you start with these dice that you can literally just roll and start creating a little story again from the garden center and again a kind of like jokey stocking filler type gift or table gift for the golfer these were just a bit of fun but look camo golf balls how funny I'll show you these treats from hotel chocolate they've got loads of amazing seasonal treats this year and again like any gender I think we're going to struggle especially with this one not to break into it before December even gets I was going to say before Christmas definitely before Christmas before December the Nice Slice sounds incredible smooth praline of hazelnut almond and milk chocolate studded with Crispy corn and rice cereals and splined caramel while still molten we pressed in Caramel milk chocolate penguins and allowed it to set serves eight not in this household does say for optimal slice ability Place me in the fridge for 1 hour before serving are we a fridge in or fridge out kind of person because I'm definitely out and Tom is in so I think he will appreciate that it tells you to put it in the fridge um but I also spotted these which I thought would make a good little um stocking filler gift as well for a bit of a lux chocolate gift hold on there we go it's Focus now chocolate cookies I think the last of the kind of more affordable budget type gift ideas are these little socks I feel like they're like a stocking filler really but funky Welly socks so I thought these would be fun to get they do for him and for her I think these ones are actually the women's ones yeah size four to seven with these little pheasants on I got these from well they do them on Amazon but also the garden centers often have this brand in um and also from All Saints they do some really nice crew ones if you like the or if the guy that you're buying for likes the kind of branding on a sock crew sock these ones are £19 for two pairs and then I'm actually going to move on to the second category which is anything above £20 I don't think I've missed anything out there if I do oh in fact I have this is a brand which actually one of our Builders um gave to me he said oh like try this out let me know what you think and it's the car fragrance sells them on Amazon so I'll leave his link below but these and I'm not just saying this cuz he's given me them they're the best smelling car rare fresheners I have ever used and this one in particular or in fact a couple of them the ones I've got in my car at the minute is particularly like manly they're duping the kind of like high-end scents so those scents that we all know and love like the fragrances that yeah we all know they're kind of dupes of that so they are quite strongly scented and they do smell designer but honestly these works okay and then yeah I'm going to move on to the mid-range price point and the first thing that I'm going to share with you is probably my favorite gift idea that I have included within all of my gift guides this year this is the most unique idea and one that I just think is so gorgeous this sentimental one so it's definitely for him or for her any age but Ivy and Stitch they're a small business which I'm going to leave their handles and website and everything linked below but they sell these um called treasured notes and they actually do loads of things whereby you can get like saxs personalized uh crackers Christmas crackers but I particularly loved the treasured notes that they sell which is basic basically a framed frame of this kind of like linen material and they will um embroid handwriting so you can send them a photo of say for instance uh a loved one's past maybe a grandparent and you've got an old card like a birthday card where they've signed off all I love Nana and Grandpa something like that or to your parents you could gift it with their parents you know as a Keepsake so like I could buy it for my dad who maybe doesn't have his parents anymore if I can find a card that was addressed to him that says love from Mom and Dad or who or whatever and it's in their handwriting it's such a personal touch that is so sentimental and I love it so this is actually one that I've just had um from Tom Tom doesn't do cards okay so there's one card that he bought me one year I've kept it as a Keepsake and it's just how he signed off all my love Tom two kisses in his handwriting and I just love that a really cute idea was um a little handwritten note for a guy that had written like on a Post-It note on a and attached it to a the ring box for the engagement ring as they were going through customs and security at the airport and it said something along the lines of um please keep quiet I'm proposing tomorrow or something like that and it's in his handwriting so in case it ever got stopped through security and obviously she's none the wiser but then to be able to look back at that and the fact that they've kept a photo of that note that she can then embroid I just think it's genius this is something on Tom's Christmas wish list so this will be going in his sack this year and it's a hawksmore cooking book like I said he's a foodie he's really into his cooking and this is their restaurants and recipes uh he loves hawksmore hawksmore is very kind of meat heavy um loads of different steaks and stuff that they do but loads of different recipes with all of their um all the and everything in there so a really nice recipe book and looks gorgeous as well looks really nice out on display so I've got that for him 35 retails I found a link where it's cheaper so again I'll leave that for you something that we've got outside but nothing I can share with you here is the Lumi ice bath so they do quite affordable options of these right up to more higher end ones oh my gosh I saw this like bespoke one I can't remember the brand of it now but where they built it they build into to your house so like we could have in the utility room if we had a gym space set up or something and it was 11,000 looked gorgeous but very expensive or like I said a Lumi ice bath and they start from around £50 depending on sort size you want I thought these would be quite a fun idea to give these are around the £25 Mark I think these are from um the the Diary of a CEO if you've listened to the podcast or if the guy that you're buying for has listened to his podcast stepen Bartlett has so many amazing episodes on there of like really like interesting people so he's done these conversation cards this is the first edition whereby at the end of his um go I feel like I'm repeating it now at the end of his podcast he has a closing tradition whereby a question is left by the previous question not knowing who they're leaving it for really interesting answers and they've got a little QR code so you can see who the question who asked the question who for and also you could scan the QR code to actually listen to the answer but the question itself you can kind of pose as a bit of a question for if you're like hosting people it's quite a good conversation starter so these little conversation cards I think are really interesting let me just read you this is the second edition I'll read you an example question so this one here we go oh there's different levels as well this one happens to be level one and the question was what is your proudest moment and that was by Harley finlin and it was asked to to sopia am maruso so you can scan that QR code to see what she said or like I said just use it as a conversation starter for at the table Christmas I'll ask another one level two this one this was left by Jesse lingard and it's do uncomfortable situations bring the best or worst out of you and it was asked to Jamie carer this is something that again for the more sentimental lover I had created on Etsy and this Top This seller does this like Memories album where you can have it personalized with your name or something like that but I just saw um like a design on Pinterest I think it was that said album the tickets like in French and I thought yeah I'm going to get her to write that instead of a name and I'm going to pop all of the tickets that we've ever cuz I keep stuff like that I'm just such a hoarder um all of the tickets of places we've been things we've seen Cinema trips and you can date it you can write a little description it's kind of like a little photo album but obviously I like the idea of popping tickets within there and that was £30 I always think a board game is a nice easy option to gift someone and especially on Christmas cuz then you can play and this year we've gone for this so I'm not even necessarily gifting this to anyone this year we're playing it for Christmas I am so good at the warm scent Club finally a game that I might actually win when it comes to like trial Pursuit and all of those kind of things questions kind of like just go over my head but this one I seem to be really good at so whenever I see a 1% Club Tik Tok or video or the show I usually get pretty much all of them right so so I've got this for Tom because he's really into like his uh like fashiony things and keeping his shoes nice and clean he's got loads of shoe cleaning bits but I thought I would pick him this up this is from the garden Trading Company which has so many nice things but this just has basically a little storage section of shoe shine so you can put all his products in here polish laces brushes and then just a larger section inside for everything else I think that was about £30 I got some perfume this one is really nice from All Saints it's a bit more of an affordable one this is £40 and it's a OD param so is quite strong this one's in the shitch leather smells incredible I also really rate pen haligan 4 cents and this is the co quirkus collection so youve got um an Oda colog in there and a body and a hand lotion and a triple miled soap I think this one was part of their Autumn sale where they've got um loads of discounted bits that are opened although as you can tell this one's still got the wrapper on it so I don't understand why this was cheaper but it was I think it was about £20 this for example was a bit more open they still give you the tissue to wrap it up within but it was it didn't come in a box or anything it just came with a bubble wrap um so I think I'll take the bubble wrap up and just put it in a bag for myself um with the tissue paper and gift it to someone this year who knows who's going to get this um it's called the Endy meon concentr scent in like a Navy bottle and that one was reduced Well normally it's 175 but in the open Sal section it was 114 but it's not been used like you can tell when you Spritz them they're not they've not been sprayed it's obviously just the box or something but like I said this one was in that sale and it's still in the cellophane and then there this one was also in the sale they do candles and I think candles are nice to gift to a guy as well especially if they've got like a home office or a kind of like garage office space where they may be want to make it smell nice this one is again penhan and it's just plain black I can smell it already through this C it smells lovely and this one again was part of the open range from 55 down to 22 I spotted this in uh All Saints for £39 and it's a little airpods case so again would be good for like stocking filler but obviously like an expensive stocking filler gift or you don't have to get like a branded one but I just thought that was really nice to be able to have like a nice little leather case for your airp pods it comes with a little clasp as well I wanted to include a workout mat like a home workout mat and I actually wanted to include this one because this is one that I personally love and use and it's from a brand called Fable so it's really good good specifically for like stretching and yoga Pilates really good quality well made and I think how much it's about £70 so they are a bit more premium and then I also got these from cheser OES from molten Brown I think molten Brown is such a lovely gifting brand for Christmas stuff especially they've got this new sent out I don't know if it's new this year I don't remember seeing it last year but it's marvelous Mandarin and spice festive ball balls that they do so these are be good for little table gifts as well and then they also have so that was reduced down to £840 and then this one I think was about £30 I can't remember £3 £31 something like that and it's their hand care collection so this one comes with a hand wash and hand lotion really nice I actually did a little tester in store and it smells incredible okay so I'm a Croc lover and was it last year or the year before the year before before I think I got everyone a pair of matching Crocs Dad Mom brother sister-in-law Tom and they went down quite a treat for men and for women and also now they do these fluffy fur lined ones so cozy so mine are like mine are probably past their past their date I mean they last forever but they're just I bought white ones so they're grubby and um yeah I got these ones for winter for all the Cozy Vibes but obviously they come in men's size I think they're just unisex to be honest with you these ones were around the 40 mark okay I got a selection of bits from Print Works which do amazing kind of like photo albums and like really unique gifting bits and firstly for the foodie I thought I would show you these two sets they look like obviously books display books they're in like a linen um thing but they're actually a box so this one is a set that comes with different cheese knives show you so it's a set of three different cheese knives this one a seafood one which again comes with um like just how nice is that it comes with a couple of different tools perfect for seafood and they also do games of which I've got this one's quite a premium one from their range I think the others are around 2030 this one's like over 100 so it kind of leads me nicely into the more luxury items I want to share with you over £100 then this one is chess now I think they've got a couple of different ones but this is the mirrored one so this is why it's a bit more expensive the actual board can you see that it's got like a mirrored finish you come with a couple of you come with it comes with a couple of bags with your pieces in got little silver ones in here and then the other ones are beige to match the the chest board but how nice is that this is actually under £100 but I thought I would show you anyway so I got this for myself from cheser Ro but it's from the men's section from Ralph Lauren I love this color I mean I'm wearing burgundy leggings today so yeah they kind of go with these leggings but I just love like a classic raal ring cap now Tom has been loving this brand in particular so I thought I would include one of his caps as well oh I don't know how to pronounce it is it a leond leond door he has been loving this brand it seems to have come out of the Woodworks out of nowhere and he's obsessed so I think he's got a bag he's got a couple of caps so quite a good gifting uh brand as well these are sort of the 50 to 100 pound Mark depending on which brand you go for I also just wanted to mention dalesford when we went there in the cotwell was gorgeous so again something that Tom did as like a cooking course he actually didn't do it at dford but he has since seen a few that he would book on to do um but some kind of cookery course or foraging or some kind of class like that I think is a lovely gift to give and the dalesford cookery ones I think they're from about1 to2 200 oh I also have this to share with you guys this was very kindly sent to me by the brand Altin I think Tom's going to love this it's like a little Christmas box that they've given it to me in and it's their oh a barista gift set but they do this portable espresso machine which is going to be perfect for someone like Tom that likes his really nice coffee so I'm pretty sure I'll leave this linked again but I'm pretty sure inan saying that the um they are compatible with espresso coffee pods as well as if you wanted to like gr during coffee like filter coffee a lovely gift again for the person that is maybe outdoorsy loves camping fishing also techy lover Tom has been loving his Garin watch so any kind of sports person or like wanting to track their steps um running I actually have a Garin watch as well I have the 4Runner 45 I think it's called it's just one of the more budget Garmen watch has but really really good for being able to track your speed time distance also something that I have in love is my DJI osmo pocket 3 I think this one's called comes on a gimbal so it's something that Tom has been he was begging me for not begging me not begging me for ages he was pestering saying this is like it'll be really good for your vlogging it'll be really good blah blah blah and I'm like yeah yeah whatever I like the Canon g7x which is what I'm using today um but out and about vlogging and I've seen more and more vloggers get it I was like you know what maybe Tom's right and he was it is a lovely little Gadget to be able to Vlog with really smooth footage I also I'm not going to bring them up I have on branded hiking trainers boots hiking boots brilliant brand to invest in waterproof durable comfy and they look a bit nicer I think anyway they look a bit smarter than your box standard um hiking boots and also we've got um um I've had a couple of questions on our suitcases so we use rowa suitcases so if you're wanting to go luxury luxury for gifting then they are really good and I would invest in the cabin sized one which is what we've got cuz then you know that it's not going to get battered and beat up in the hold but Amazon do if you want the look for Less Amazon do tues which are honestly identical I'll leave the Amazon ones links I can't speak on the quality but way way cheaper I think they're like 50 plus raoa gets to thousands I also just have a couple of like basic te's which I wanted to recommend firstly this one if they want like more of a brand then I really like the All Saints ones just CU on the front it's quite minimal and simple and on the back it's a bit more of like whoa that's a brand statement now I've actually got this one in a men's medium for me to wear Tom's not into like branding like that per se but he likes his good color classtic Basics and his favorite teas if you're wanting some good quality basic teas to um build up a collection I've actually bought these for to so he doesn't know he's getting these but just to stock up of his favorites they're from a brand called a day March so this is yet again another fashion brand worth checking out if you're guys into fashion and like I said not the like branded branded things these Classic te's this is the they're called the heavyweight t-shirts cuz they do variety of different ones a heavyweight t-shirt and Tom wears an extra large and so I got him a white and a Navy that I can pop away for Christmas that is everything that I am recommending in my gift guide for him for Christmas 2024 again if you want any other suggestions and ideas head back to my previous years where there will be loads more ideas for you guys to see also stay tuned for the
