Your Christmas Gift Guide: For Him


Even after asking the men in my life what they would like to receive for Christmas this year for part one of my "For Him" series, I was left none the wiser - what a mission these species are to buy for! For me, putting together this post sparked a number of ideas once I thought of a theme for each gift - hopefully your mind gets ticking too. If not, have a think about something the man in your life would like, but wouldn't necessarily go out and buy for themselves.



1. STANCE SOCKS $20 - $40
You can guarantee that there will be something in this sock range to suit every personality, which is why I love them so much! Think holiday, sports team, patterns, STAR WARS - the list is endless. The man in your life will love these socks, even more so if they are a gym goer. Platypus Shoes generally have a good range in stock, otherwise have a google and you will find a number of shoe and surf shops that stock them in New Zealand.

2. MVMT CHRONO SERIES WATCH $70 - $160
Not a local brand this one, but MVMT Watches have a ticker to suit every occasion at a reasonable price. Keep an eye out on this site as they often have free shipping to New Zealand, but you can always ship here using your Youshop account and combine all of your Christmas purchases.

3. TED BAKER TEXTY WALLET GIFT SET $160
If my man is like any man in your life, they will run their wallet into the ground! This trendy set from The Iconic is a perfect Christmas Gift, and one they will have for a long time.

4. WALL MOUNTED BOTTLE OPENER $22.99
Men will use just about anything to open their beer, so why not make it convenient for them to have a bottle opener close to the fridge - and one that will never go missing, might I add! Get them from Man Bits, or if you have time, the likes of Etsy, or AliExpress do have some great designs.

5. WEBER BABY Q 1000 BBQ $399
Definitely a splurge item, this one! Such a perfect little BBQ for carting around in the car of the summer holidays, for the boys to take on fishing and hunting trips, to the batch - you name it! Get it from Mitre 10 - and if you want to add in a few extras, there is a great range of Weber accessories to suit.

6. NBA LEAGUE FAN PASS $10 - $40
Subscription based services are really taking off, and if the man in your life is an NBA fanatic, I think he would love to be the recipient of an NBA Fan Pass. Purchase single games, to monthly subscriptions, through to personalised packages where your man can watch every game your favourite team is playing throughout the season. Pretty cool if you ask me! Stream it on a range of devices, just check out the website here to be sure you have one that's compatible.

7. SKY SPORT FAN PASS $14.99 - $55.99
Has your man always wanted Sky but only ever wanted the sports channels? Well, you need to buy this. There is a range of options that all include Sky Sport channels 1-4, from daily to monthly passes, and at the moment there are bundles that include a Google Chromecast for you to keep. Click the link here to check out all the details, including compatibility.

8. APPLE TV $269 - $349
We have one of these, and just love the convenience of playing our music, movies and apps all on one device. JB Hi-Fi usually have a good deal, but do keep an eye out for upcoming sales before Christmas day - there will be one somewhere!

Hopefully there are enough suggestions here to get you started, It's really not easy buying for men! Have you found any unique gift ideas for the men in your life recently? I'd love to hear, and share!
