It’s that time of the year where we start to think about what to get for our significant other or family members for Christmas. Every year we are bombarded with marketing from brands promoting their must have products for the year, aiming to entice us into making that yearly purchase. If you are stuck on ideas of what to get the lucky man in your life, here is our gift guide to putting a smile on his face for Christmas this year.
An instant photo printer
While we all have smartphones with the ability to take and delete photos as we wish, there is a bit of nostalgia for physical photos from the past. Polaroid cameras, which were once all the rage, are now making a comeback in the form of external, portable printers that can print photos as soon as they are taken with a smartphone.
Multi-tool
A cool, multi-functional tool that can contain a knife, screwdrivers, utensils and pliers, amongst other things, will make an awesome gift for a guy who wants a compact and practical tool that he can throw in the bag.
Raincoat
With Christmas usually being the time for snow and rain, gifting a sleek, practical raincoat for men will almost certainly go down a treat. Brands such as Rains have awesome, no-nonsense, high-quality jackets for very reasonable prices. Investing in a good quality jacket can easily last you many years, and will prove to be a wise gift over time.
A quality timepiece
In the age of modern technology, where we are now beginning to see increasing wearable technology such as smartwatches, there are still many who appreciate simple, quality-crafted, analog timepieces. Analog watches still get the recognition they deserve and rightly so, and those with a discerning taste will always appreciate it as such.
A leather notebook
Another “old-school” product that is seeing a surge in popularity even during the time of digital products. Give a leather bound journal, possibly coupled with a nice pen, which nowadays looks classier that writing down notes on a phone.
Wireless earphones
Tangled headphones are now a thing of the past! Gift a high-quality set of earphones that are fit for most situations such as for the daily commute, working out, or just general use, there is an abundance of quality choices on the market now that any guy would appreciate.
A sturdy umbrella
As a boy, who would have thought that receiving an umbrella for Christmas would be exciting? Well, now with tough, almost indestructible umbrellas available, many guys would geek-out over the great build quality and practicality of a few brands on the market. Plus, it keeps you dry, and such gifts never go down badly, do they?
