Was that a knock at the door or was that the wind?
I think that was actually the wind blowing
our wreath which is attached to the knocker
and it keeps on like windy days with all these storms
that we've been having. I'm like someone at the door?
Is that the door? I don't know but hello
guys welcome back to my channel welcome back
to my gift guide week series weeks I'm going to say
plural at this point because I've got quite
a few ideas still to be sharing in my upcoming videos so
Be prepared. Lots of gift ideas coming your way.
Today we're focusing on the ones that we all
struggle to buy for. The boys, the men, the men in our lives.
I've collated a few ideas. I always
feel like this is my shortest video
because honestly the ideas are just few and far between,
especially as I try not to duplicate too many ideas over the years
because I do these videos
Every single year, year, I don't like just saying the same.
ideas over and over again so that you
can actually go back and see different
suggestions if you wanted to look back at the older
videos so anyway gift guide gift ideas for him
2026 get comfy
get cozy
As always, I will leave everything that I can
that is available to purchase online
linked in the description box below.
Some of them might be affiliate links just to like be
transparent so that if you do purchase through on my recommendation,
then I get like a small
commission. I don't know why I felt the need to just justify that,
but maybe that might even entice
some of you to click on the links.
And it also allows me to track how many people clicked on
the links as to how good of an idea it was,
if you see what I mean. So anyway.
All of that being said, let me jump into my first gift idea.
There's no particular order to these
and these aren't like stocking fillers because that is coming next.
I'll start with one that's kind of like a main purchase,
I suppose, and something that
is new out this year.
So for the gadget lover, the guy that loves his tech,
Apple have brought out a new smart
home hub.
It is a main gift.
It's a premium price.
I think it's like $299.
So it's something that is...
It's like a home hub I feel like you need
to know that they might want it
and it also might be something
that you might see in some black friday sales
coming up so that's another reason why I like
to get these gift guides up
early with the link suggestions in the description
so that we can keep track for
black friday sales and promotions that don't happen
on black friday anymore they happen
pretty much throughout the entirety
of november. bringing it back in the budget set it to about
35 pounds i think this is this is something that i spotted
when i went to the Cotswold Company
recently where we purchased some nursery furniture
and they have a gardening kit so
again a lot of these ideas it could be for him could
be for her can be interchangeable it's just
Depends on who you're buying for.
But this beautiful like basket set, it's only 35 pounds.
It comes with quite a few different things.
Looks nice as well.
I thought, you know what?
I'm gonna throw that in my gift guide this year.
And then for the kitchen lover, the cook of the fam,
I think a really practical purchase,
quite a handy one is an electric salt and pepper mill.
I think, was it last year or the year before?
My parents actually asked for this as a gift set
because I think it is.
I think it's a good idea and it's practical.
And I wanted to recommend this one from Cole and Mason.
They've got a few different colours.
They actually have a really nice stone colour
that I was going to get my hands on.
I think they were sold out of that colour.
So I got the black,
but I'm thinking about maybe Tom might want them
for the outdoor kitchen.
He's also a coffee lover.
So I got this scoop sent to me from Ancient and Brave
as a brand.
They do...
a few different powdery based products
and they sell as an accessory a scoop so i thought i'd
include that as a good gift
because it's not only specific to if they're a protein drinker or
protein lover but also coffee
because the coffee scoop size as well is quite good never come across
these before but i saw them recently i thought they could
be a good suggestion as like a budget
gift idea for someone that wears caps a lot you can get
these inner liners which are like a sweat
Sweat, cover, cap, cover, thing, thing, thing.
thing that helps protect the like lining of your cap
um especially like I say if they wear them
to work out in or like girls we can get makeup
on our caps if we wear them regularly and they've got
like a white liner so to get these cap inner liners I thought
was quite a good idea they're
only like five five to ten pounds.
The Lenski Universal Socket again another good little practical
And for less than 10 pounds, it's like a DIY multifunctional type tool.
Also this from K&F, this like duster blower.
It can be good for around the house for kind
of acting as a bit of a suction mini.
A hoover type thing for hard to reach places
or like cracks and crevices but also the blowing
function helps blow out and I know that Tom uses
a blower for his like coffee machine area for like
all the little coffee granules that can get everywhere
and it's actually a really handy
tool to have. It's also like
the blower function he uses quite often for
Outdoor kitchen for the fire, the barbecue.
I saw this crepe maker pan.
I thought it was like such a genius concept.
So essentially you have your liquid ready
and then you like flip the pan upside down,
dip it in the crepe mixture.
And so it's just like a very thin, even layer
that you then turn around and it cooks.
A very very thin crepe.
I always think tickets for an experience is really nice and one that
we went to recently was a Hans Zimmer
at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester. It was so good
and it was all of his like a load of big hits
of his like from Interstellar to James Bond to
To...
Disney movies or like Kung Fu Panda what else was there there was
Gladiator and some of their music is just incredible
and it was actually really moving
so tickets for that I would recommend
as a good little date night option that's what we did um
also I've seen they've started selling some Blue Planet
three live tours so again I think
that actually uses some Hans Zimmer music and it's that kind of
like similar concept setup of a live orchestra with a screen.
I got this magazine it was only
about eight pounds and I thought a good one
because we always argue over films in this household so
I'm going to give that to Tom
because I think it'd be a nice one to um like kind of treat it as a bit
of the magazine I think it's like 200 greatest movies
or something it's kind of
Something we could treat as a bit of a checklist
to watch all of the classics that I know Tom
would much rather prefer than my suggestion,
which is quite often a new release that ends
up being pretty rubbish. Zara Home, I love. Zara Zara Home Aesthetic.
Gorge and they have a whole sports range
which if you've got a sporty person that you're buying for
I know they brought out a load of golf products
at one point they've got a whole gym collection
like at home gym sets from hundreds
of pounds right down to like smaller accessories.
Sort of 10, 15, 20 pounds.
So, but yeah, their whole sports section,
not only is it aesthetic and gorgeous,
but could make good little gift ideas as well.
I bought this game recently called Suspend,
which is one of those that you just know
involves no effort for brain power, for setup.
It's just easy.
I think sometimes with Christmas games,
people can get a bit like,
especially when you're tired already
after all the food you've had.
if you have to then get out a new game
that you've never played before with an instruction
manual that is like that thick
and you think oh gosh can i be bothered whereas this just involves
little to no brain power
and it's like a balancing type game i also came across
this wine chiller stick
which i thought was a good concept to keep your wine cool
I think they're for around 20 pounds
and a good little accessory for a wine drinker.
My bestie who got married in April, Lydia,
I remember one of her wedding guests
had this little mini key ring,
which looked like a vintage Kodak camera
and it was like a thumb camera type thing.
It's a tiny, teeny, tiny, but it created,
like he was just.
Firing away and it creates like a really like old vintage look
and grain to the image because
it's obviously such a tiny little camera
and the quality and everything just makes it look quite
retro. So I thought I'd recommend that and plus it's
on a key ring so it's tiny you can have it
with you all the time.
I know Urban Outfitters actually do a blind box as well so if you're
buying for someone that likes the whole blind
box trend where you open it up you don't know
What colour you're going to get adds a bit of fun to the mix.
Something I bought previously for both Tom
and my dad actually are sports notes from Sports
Commentators, a company that they have like prints
of popular games across all different sports. So
whatever sport they're into as a spectator,
as a player, it doesn't matter. You can
Buy the like the notes from the commentators from that game,
especially if there's a specific game that they've maybe been to before
and they always remember it. That's what I did with Tom's one.
They went to Melbourne, Australia, him and his mum last Christmas
in the new year to watch cricket and I got the notes printed out
from or the notes print from sports commentators for that.
specific game that they went to watch an England one.
If you watch my gift guide for her,
I recommended booking a cleaner for like an hour or a day
or whatever your budget would fit.
And I thought in the gift guide for him,
I would recommend a similar version,
but to book a handyman,
especially if you're buying for someone
that is not necessarily like into DIY themselves,
but there's a whole like list of jobs that need to get done
to book a handyman to come in and either help them do it,
where if they needed a
A second helping hand for like heavier items
or to just get that tick list done for them.
I know Taskmaster is a really popular,
no, Taskmaster, that's a game show, isn't it?
TaskRabbit is a good booking service
for something like that.
Bit of a niche one, but what about a Costco membership?
I think they're from about 40 pounds for the year.
Maybe even want to gift it to a couple
who don't already have one if you know and you have a
Costco membership you know
but although having said that I don't know if you would be able to
gift it to a couple because you have to have them
be able to go in and oh you can get individual
membership though I don't think you have to have
a business to go to Costco so maybe it is probably
easier actually just to buy for a family member
or something but Costco membership why not? A golf
ball stamp.
From anywhere from like five pounds,
you can get them personalized as well. I did that for both my
brother and Tom last year with their initials
that if ever they're playing like in a tournament or
anything like that, if they're a golf player,
often they will have to mark their ball so that
they know it's theirs. Yeah,
to have a little personalized ball stamp in their kit is quite a
cute little fun. It's actually probably more
of a stocking filler gift idea that one. Personalized
car registration plate.
Again, to suit your budget, I know you can get them
from really affordable, where it's a reg plate that's not necessarily
that recognisable, but it would be to the person that you're buying it.
Or you can go up to the thousands to get something really niche
and specific. This is on Tom's gift wishlist this year, a cone
wood chopper I think you can get like
a drill bit like it's a big cone to help split logs for
kindling or for firewood for cooking for Tom
that's his purpose that he needs it for or you
can get the actual metal stands where you can put
the log in and it's like got a chopper underneath
so it helps you can like knock it and it splits it for you.
Now I love a Lego purchase and a Lego
So, Christmas gift, because sometimes the...
The Lego sets can be pricey.
They're a main gift price point, I would say.
One that I haven't got, but really liked the concept of,
is the Creel House from Stranger Things.
I feel like it was really popular
when Stranger Things first came out
in terms of the final episode, when that.
Lego set came out, but who knows?
It might actually be even cheaper now. I'm not sure,
but some kind of Lego set. I know they've got cars.
We've got a few different cars. I think
I got the Porsche one for Tom last year.
Have we built it yet? No, but that's because I'm still
working on my Harry Potter Hogwarts castle,
but I just like to dip in and out. It's something that
I find quite therapeutic to do.
This is a new game that's kind of like come to my attention
It's an invention called In A Nutshell, I thought quite a fun concept.
Again, a really easy one to include with your Christmas gifting
or Christmas day games.
I first saw it on TikTok and I think the concept
is to be able to guess something in as few words as possible.
In a nutshell, it's a full question and then the answer.
And from the answer, you kind of have
to like reveal each word of the question.
And you have to try
and get them to guess what the answer would be in as few
words of the question as possible.
That's, I feel like I've explained that really poorly.
And then another kind of card game
that with a very similar easy setup concept
is called Guess That Noise. It could be quite funny. I feel
like trying to guess what noise someone is trying to make.
I know I mentioned the wine cooler earlier but I
also saw one in Lakeland the other day which was
a it's kind of like a pouch they were from about 6.99 as well
because they do like a bigger one for
like champagne. I feel like I've not recommended any treats yet
in this gift guide so I'll recommend
this unique chocolate gifting company where they
do like slightly different concepts they've got
loads of different varieties of unique chocolates rather than
your box standard box of chocolates.
The last thing that I'm going to recommend
is something that I own and I love for me,
so again gift guide for him, for her, whoever,
but a shark chill pill fan. Such a lovely investment
this year, I don't know if it was just being pregnant
with six heat waves that just felt
like they were back to back and so uncomfortable,
but to have the chill pill fan they've also got
like a water mister attachment as well
that you can even have like a very fine mist.
a luxury fan. I mean, you can get fans far cheaper,
but I actually, I'm just thinking
about that now. I'm going to have to throw that in my hospital bag
because I think that will be
a lifesaver for me. And that is going to conclude
my gift guide for him. So hopefully you've got a
couple of good ideas and suggestions there.
