CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE FOR HIM 🎄 present ideas for men 2025

[Music] Hello guys, welcome back to my channel. Welcome back to gift guide week. We have lots of gift ideas coming your way this week. Um, from gift guides for her, for him, stocking fillers, budget to high-end, we've got it all. So, I hope you guys are well and welcome back. Today, it is a gift guide for him. Although I did mention like in the other video, there's lots of like gender neutral ideas in here. It's not just specifically for him. Um, and then also we have coming up at the weekend some stocking fillers, which are some of my favorites. Like just love stocking fillers. Anyway, gift guides for him. I'm going to jump straight into it because I have a lot. And if you haven't already, grab a cuper, grab some snacks, maybe even some pen and paper if you want to jot anything down. I will leave everything linked in the description box below for you to refer back to, for you to click through and shop. Anything that I can will be down there. Um, and yeah, let's just jump straight into it, shall we? So, I'm going to categorize in terms of like price from more affordable up to higher end. So, we're going to start with items under £15. Got a couple of things to mention. We've got this, which I saw in TK Maxx recently. This does retail for £16, but in TK Maxx it was £9.99. They had loads of them as well. So, if you are buying for someone that likes a bit of a tipple, then Harvey Nickels as well. It looks nice as well. Good for hosting even as a little hosting gift to take to friends and family this year. Mold wine. I've had this one before. It's delicious. M&S are elite when it comes to snacks and especially sweet treats. And I found this. This is new this year. They have the peppermint bark which they bought out last year which was nice and I do like it but minty chocolate. It's not my go-to. I do like it though. But this one caramel crunch. It's like how you imagine maybe like a dime to be delicious. So this comes in like a beautiful little tin as well. Good for as a gift option. And this is how they come. So the peppermint one is like a peppermint bark. It's in like a slab, whereas this is like individual um it's just so delicious. This is my second tin. Now, these are a bit more expensive. They're £10, but again, because they come in the beautiful tin could be a really nice gift option. I think some kind of a leather tray or a tweed tray. I know Harris Tweed do some really nice ones, but these like faux leather ones I thought I would pick up. This one comes in a set of two for I think it is about £15. This one is a gorgeous kind of like neutral stone color which for him or for her I think would look really nice set out on like a vanity or within a wardrobe unit where you've got maybe some like like little jewelries even a trinket dish beside your bed console table these could go on. So the fact that they come as a set of two as well you could even give them as separates but some kind of valet tray. Is that what they call them for an adventurer? I saw this book and it's called the British Cabins and Hideaways book. It's around £15 and I think that's a lovely gift idea, but also a gift idea that's more expensive to go alongside that and one that Tom actually bought for me last year. I think it was for my birthday. We were there on my birthday, but it might have been for Christmas cuz my birthday's 10 days after Christmas. I can't remember which one he bought it for, but we had a night away in an unplugged cabin where it's like the aim is to go screen free. Um, pop away your phones. I mean, we did have our phones out. We were taking a few pictures and stuff, but it was such a lovely time. The book could be a way to kind of give that as a gift if you're wanting to spend a bit more money on that. So, now we're in price range from around £15 to30. Wait until you see this. This was like an Etsy purchase for a Pokemon lover. I've designed my own Pokemon card and it's holographic as well. I mean, it does come out of this uh this little pouch here. It's just brilliant. And it's got Barney on it. Water Pokémon. Weight 56 kilos. Height 2'5. Sunny sprint. Barney dashes joyfully across the field, boosting its speed and dodging the next attack thanks to his pure enthusiasm. Splash dive. Barney charges through water with a powerful leap, sending waves that hit all nearby opponents. If near a water terrain, damage increases by 20. Gold retrievon is a gentle and loyal following its trainer from the golf course to the canal. Always ready for a splash or a cuddle. When relaxed, it shows affection with healing ticklish licks. So cute. I was on Zara home recently on their website. They have brought out a whole new tool range. If you want like a really nice, clean, brand new tool set to get like a really nice looking one from Zara. I know that's a bit extreme, but if they're into their DIY, if it's a hint to maybe get them to do some more DIY, um, or if they just love their tool selection, then they've got some really nice tools to have. I have mentioned some kind of at home escape kit which I bought last year for a gift guide video, but I've seen some new ones called um from the brand Puzzle Post which have been really popular, really good ratings. So, if you like a kind of escape room, who did it true crime type thing, then that could be a really nice gift idea and they are around £16. I've got a couple of game options now. So, again, you can buy this for anyone, but this one I saw and really liked the look of. It's called Hues and Cues, a guessing game of colors and clues. You get like a big board which has loads of different uh like color squares. And you kind of have to I think the aim of the game is to guess the closest whoever gets closest to the correct color of say for instance Shrek for age eight plus. So it's pretty familyfriendly and from 3 to 10 players for this one. That is around £25. Then this one for a more adult version. Definitely more adult version. A bit like Cards Against Humanity. I know they do family editions, but this is an adult game. Say you're hosting like adults games parties. This would be fab. Might even be too adult to play with your own family members. So maybe want to more play with friends, especially this after dark edition. But it's a game called Bad Choices. And it's a bit like a have you ever type situation where um you this is a set of extra cards that comes with this kit that I ordered. So these are just some more tame options. Have you ever thrown a drink in someone's face? Have you drunk texted an ex in the past year? That could get quite dangerous. But there are some that I actually couldn't say here on YouTube. Let's go with one more just to give you another idea. I don't even know if I can read this. Have you like this is aimed at a male so just use your imagination. Have you ever measured your with a ruler? So this is 20. A more experienced type game around 25 to30 is the traitor live experience. Now I'm a big fan of the traitors anyway. I pretty much watched all the seasons although the UK ones are my favorite and I was cynical about the celebrity version. However, I really enjoyed it. So anyway, there there is a live experience in Comic Garden where you can get involved and become a player yourself with strangers. So that could be a really nice experience to gift a someone that likes a good game or enjoyed the traitors. Dishon, which is a lovely restaurant in Manchester. I'm pretty sure there's a few of them. I think uh I don't know if it's a chain or not. Do you have a Doom near you or is it just Manchester? Let me know. But they do um at home kits like delivery kits for say for instance their breakfast bacon roll naang kit which you could have posted out on a specific date. Oh I also got this to show you. This was um really good value for money I thought. So it was around £29. It comes with two remote controllers that are very similar to your sort of like PlayStation remote controller. Let me just show you. But and it comes with like a stick essentially looks a bit like a fighter stick that plugs into your TV. They're the two controllers that you get and the stick itself has like embedded within it loads and loads of games like hundreds of classics as well. So I thought that would be a fun one to have. And look, it takes up no space at all. I was a Nintendo 64 girl and I loved Banjo Kazoui. Uh Mario Kart Classics and then like Gamewood Color I had with Earthworm Gym. Uh the Rugrats game I used to love. at30. I've seen the um Tom often likes to burn incense in his basically the top floor is his um office, walk-in wardrobe, bathroom, his kind of space, and he'll do his workouts up there and stuff, his at home workouts, and often he'll burn an incense up there. And um ASOP, which is is it ESOP or ASOP? But they have incense sticks now for £30. So, I thought that would be good for someone who likes burning incense like Tom does. So, prices from 30 to50. We'll move on to now. And I'm going to start with this, which I'll pop on screen cuz I haven't bought it, but I thought it was beautiful. It's a brass cover. This is from a company called Not Another Bill, and it's for a matchbox, but I have also seen them for lighters as well, just to make it look a bit fancy. And it's obviously a cover keeping it protected and safe, but also be able to have to be able to have it out on like a coffee table or something because the brass cover is beautiful. And there are also options where you can personalize them. So they're from around30. If you have a golfer boyfriend like I do, then these are Tom's favorite golf balls and they're pretty good value for money because they are from Costco. So if you have a Costco membership, I wanted to recommend these as a good golf ball option. And I think they're $34.99 for that big box. I also wanted to mention the brand Yeti. got quite a few Yeti products that good flasks for like camping, for on the- go, out and about, gym. Um, they also do good Tupperware. So, like they do these bowls that if you wanted to maybe like someone that takes your lunch to work. So, of course, prices with that depending on the item will vary, but you can get things from around 2030. I also got this at £40 to show you. It's from the brand Neo Cocktails, and they have this set. You can buy these individually as well. maybe better suited like a stocking filler gift idea. Um, but let me just open the box so that you can see. This is like a selection Christmas selection type box of Neo cocktails which are essentially pre-made cocktails that you literally just Yeah, here you go. Choose your cocktail, pour over ice, and enjoy. So, it's really simple and easy cuz you can buy these individually. Good little stocking filler or even table play setting. They do these all year round, but obviously the festive ones at this time of the year. They've got snow daquiri, Christmas margarita, apple rum punch, which sounds nice, winter side car, spice negroni, and Christmas in Manhattan. So that set is £40. I think individually you can get them around £7. Another live type experience that I've seen and tickets from around £30 is to watch the Hunger Games live. I believe this is only in London though. You're allocated a district and you sit in that district and I guess it's like Hunger Games live. I also wanted to show you this from Catch. This is a brand that do these dispos. They're not disposable cameras. They are cameras that are they're called point, shoot, and share, but it comes like this. Oops. I'm going to keep it sealed up in case I want to gift it to someone this year. But this is the camera itself, and you get two films. And then you can buy the films on their website as well to use them. These are the two different films that they do. The different kind of like tones kind of allows you to have that reusable camera look for like a vintage style photo. And these are £55. So let's extend the budget now from £60 to £150. This is kind of on that cusp because this you can get like cheaper or more expensive versions, but I picked this up for myself recently, this Swift vest. So, it's like a running vest. You can fill them up and have some water on the go. There's just loads of really good compartments for phones, keys, everything. It's comfortable as well. And this is £50. Recent purchase of Tom's I thought I would mention. I couldn't get it down to show you here, but it's a treadmill that goes under his standing desk. So, often when he's working from upstairs, he will have his standing desk on and be able to walk at the same time. But it's a treadmill in itself that you don't just have to have for a standing desk. You could have it say if you're wanting to watch TV and get some extra steps in for the day. It's somewhat fairly compact so you can get them where they fold away or slip under the sofa so that you've not got a massive like handheld treadmill type thing. He's I'm basing a lot of this on Tom or also like other men in my life but specifically Tom. But he loves this brand A Leondor. This one is actually mine. And yes, we have matching. We bought these when we went to New York and actually went to the store itself. But obviously you can shop their website, shop online. They've got some really nice caps. I feel like because it's a brand and it is quite expensive to get a cap. It's an affordable way to have that brand. They've got loads of different colors and styles. And these are around about 80 to 90. But even if you didn't want to go for the brand and just get a cap anyway, you could obviously get cheaper. As it's relative in our household, any dog dads out there or dog lovers, I saw these human dog beds. They're essentially like a fold out. They come in like a backpack and they fold out to this huge like kind of like a doughut bed, but to be able to get in there and cuddle your dog. Now, not the most practical for storing away, but even if just as like a fun little winter novelty that you just get as as much use out of as you can. I feel like it's one of those things that often if you have a dog that has a really nice looking dog bed, you just wish that it came in adult form. Well, apparently there's a market for it because now it does. I think my parents got this for Tom. It's either last year or the year before, but it's from the brand Hall and they do these um knife sharpeners and you can get them in different colors, but they're really good for um sharpening your knives with. And Tom's got some really nice knives that he likes to keep them nice and sharp with. So, this is perfect for that. £99 for these, but like I said, they're really good and Tom's got a lot of use out of these for when he's needed to keep his knives sharp. Next up, I have an Ember mug to show you. Now, they've got loads of different styles. I went for this one, which is more of like a tumbler style. Um, good for maybe like a flat white, like a slightly shorter coffee. But they're really good because they will keep your coffee at your desire or your hot drink at your desired temperature, which is fab. I hear people rave about Ember mugs, so yeah, decided to get one to include within this gift guide. And again, they range in price, but that one is £99. And similarly at £100, I've got this brass salt and pepper mill set. So again, more so for the person that is into their cooking, then these are fab. They actually look gorgeous out as well. We have these on our kitchen shelves, but they're just little brass, salt and pepper mills. And again, because they are solid brass and they are weighty. You get them from around £100. That's usually what they sort of are. You can probably get them cheap and you can maybe even try and find vintage ones, but I just think they look beautiful. Back to the fitness and I had to include a Garmin watch. This is just like the basic one that I have. Tom also has one. His is slightly bigger, but this is called the 4Runner 45 or 55. I think it's the more budget option, but it's especially for someone starting out in fitness or that doesn't need anything too specific. Tom's one is really good for golfers. Like he often he'll wear it every time he goes out to play around a golf and it tells him like distance and everything. And these are from around £140. I also wanted to mention some kind of diary or notebook, especially for like a businessman who often has some kind of diary with him to get a new one every year. You could go high-end with somewhere like Smithson or um because I think theirs are around 150 plus. Um or you could go more budget. Obviously, you can get them from anywhere. It just depends. Totally suits your bud budget. But for him or for her, I think a really nice diary or notebook for the start of a new year is always really nice to have. Back to the fitness. I have also seen a lot of people talk about these compression boots. So, I've not got any to show you, but £150 around that mark, you can get you could probably get some more budget ones, but the compression boots that literally look like a full leg boot that blow up and compress the muscles to help I think it's to help repair through like in between workouts. I'm realizing I have a lot of more higherend price points, but there are lots of like good stocking filler gift ideas, so stay tuned for that next video. But we have a like high-end more luxury price range now from anywhere £150 up basically. And I have to show you um which should I show you first? This is like my favorite kind of section. I've got a few things. Let's go with this cuz this is kind of like a new fun thing to the market. There is a more updated version. This is just like a basic like the first version, the Meta Quest 3S. I think that's what it's called. And it's virtual reality. So it comes with your headset and your remotes. And I've seen people on Tik Tok playing golf with it or there's all sorts of games and fun things that you can do with it because it doesn't take up much space in terms of like a big thing on your TV. It's easily stored away. You put your mask on. You can play it wherever as well. Obviously, cuz it's virtual reality, you don't need your TV for it, I'm assuming. Um, and yeah, I thought I would get this. This is about 250, 250. They have, like I said, got a more expensive one. And Meta also do at similar sort of price. They do the meta glasses. This was £169 and a fun little gadget/toy, but also quite like a fun practical one as well because it is a camera. It's a DJI Neo. I love DJI products anyway. I've got the little Osmo Pocket that I sometimes use for vlogging. And in here you've got a drone, like a small compact drone. Like that is the size of it um to be able to get some really good video footage um from the sky. Fragrance is always a classic for men and I had to show you this from Penhaligans because they brought out a new scent. I think I showed Penhaligans last year as well as a good fragrance option but this is a new one. It's called the cut. This is their Odaparfam in 100 ms which is I mean it's an expensive luxury brand so you could go more budget if you wanted to in terms of fragrance but this is fab. I did get with my order, I got these two that came with it, these little sample sprays, which you could pop as little stocking fillers as well. You get these for free. Um, or you could put them as little table place settings. You can even put them in DIY fill your own crackers. Possibilities are endless with these little free samples. But I've smelt it already because they've sent this little sample and it's got notes of um Oh, here we go. mint, cyprus, and fur balsam. So, it's a very woody, kind of festive, not Christmy though. Obviously, you could wear this all year round, but it's definitely a wintry scent, I would say. And then also to go with that, I got this, which came in a little um drawstring bag. So, again, a good little gift option. But these are just little samples that you can get more budget. And this is Halffetti, which is their classic. It's what I gifted last year. Is it last year to Tom? Um, but I love it. Halffetti is just such a like staple scent of theirs. If you're unsure, this is a the one to go for. So, they do little miniatures. This is a miniature body lotion and odaparfam. Also got a Lego set. I feel like a Lego set is a classic for a guy, but I actually really like Lego, too. And I got the Harry Potter castle for my main gift as my Christmas present last year, and I'm slowly chipping away at it, and I just don't want it to end. So, I'm like taking my time to do it because I just I don't know, I just really enjoy it. And this is a newer release that they've done from LEGO. They did have a Porsche. Uh Tom's really into Porsche, so I'll pop this under the tree for him this year for us. Let's just say for us, cuz I'll probably be the one helping build it. Um but he has a few that he's built in the past cars. So, um I thought this would be a nice addition because he actually has a white Porsche, an old 911 just like this sat in the garage. So, I had to get this. This literally matches his. I even feel like he'll just know to expect that this year. They also do a defender, which I thought about getting as well. I think they're about $120 for the bigger Lego sets like that. I've also seen online a chess board. Now, I'm not really a chess player myself, but it's an interactive like smart, but you can play chess with AI. Um, which I thought would be a fun idea for a chess lover. It is £200, so it's a more of an investment. I feel like they need to like Chester to want that. Again, I don't have one to show you, but I thought about getting an aura ring for Tom. I don't know if he'll wear it, though. I feel like you have to check on that one because I don't know if he'd wear it, but they're about £499, £500. They brought out this new ceramic one with like a new range of a few colors and I think they're about £500, but they track everything. So, sleep, health, wellness, fitness, and it's all within a ring. Another thing I thought about getting as a main gift for Tom this year specifically, but I think I'm going to wait because I feel like I'm not sure this house is set up for it with the space that we've got outside. It might be, but I just feel like maybe that could be for a future house if we were to uh move from this one. And it is a beehive. A beehive. I know that's crazy. And again, you can get more affordable ones. You could DIY them, but there is a company called Flow which do these beautiful beehives and they sell like the full kits as well for like people starting out to um looking after bees, which helps the environment, obviously produces amazing honey as well. So, they're from around the £450 mark. And another thing for the garden, which we have gotten do love, and Tom is a big fan of cuz it takes a huge boring job of mowing the lawn out of the equation cuz we don't need to do it. And it's all linked up to his phone. It's the Mimotion lawn mowers. They've got again different range of products from more basic editions to like bigger. I suppose it depends on the size of your lawn and what you're after. They often have sales as well, so I'll try and find the cheapest link I can find to that below. I think ours was around £700. So, that is going to conclude my gift guide for him for 2025. I hope you guys have enjoyed and taken some inspiration. If you want more suggestions and ideas, I recommend you go back and watch my previous year's gift guides because I have loads of more different ideas throughout those. I try and switch up most years. So yeah, for loads more ideas, head back to previous years. Thank you so much for watching. Don't forget to stay tuned for my gift guide stocking filler edition coming very, very soon. And yeah, hope you all have a lovely rest of your day. And I hope to see you all very soon in my next one. Bye guys. [Music]
