The best Christmas gifts for him

There are so many great fashion gifts to choose from this season, including timeless, failsafe pieces that they’ll definitely love. Think a nice Merino wool jumper from Hawes & Curtis, leather Oxford shoes from Dr. Martens, a denim jacket from Pull & Bear or flannel trousers from Uniqlo.

They might not regularly treat themselves to new skincare or aftershave, but that doesn’t mean they won’t appreciate a nice grooming gift. Try a new electric shaver from Boots, a Vibe Booster skincare set from The Body Shop or a unique fragrance from Arabian Oud. Or you could book him in for a treatment such as a haircut or beard trimming at Ted’s Grooming room on Mortimer Street, which offers a unique atmosphere thanks to the vintage medical paraphernalia that line the shelves.

A jewellery gift, especially if you can have it personalised, can be such a meaningful gift. Don’t worry if he isn’t a big jewellery wearer, we’ve found some understated pieces for you to choose from. We love this leather bracelet from H. Samuel, this classic watch from Swatch, this set of matching rings from Zara and this chain necklace from Urban Outfitters.

If money is no object, then there are plenty of luxurious gifts to be picked up on Oxford Street. Head to Victorinox for the creme de la creme of Swiss Army Knives, to Selfridges for a designer bag, to Flannels for a Jonathan Adler backgammon set, and to John Lewis for a fancy coffee machine.

He might be into football or running, or he might simply like an energetic walk. Whichever his preferred discipline, there are so many sportswear shops that cater for everything on Oxford Street. Some gift ideas for you: adidas firm ground football boots, a hydration vest from Asics, a sweatshirt from New Balance, a gold glove from Nike.

There’s nothing like experimenting with the latest tech to pass those long days between Christmas and New Year – and beyond. That’s why we think he’ll love a PS5, a bluetooth speaker, a Samsung Galaxy Smart ring or an iPhone 15.

The festive season is probably the time of year where you spend the most time at home, so why not spruce things up with a homeware gift. We love a posh candle from Next, bookends from Flannels, a backrest cushion from T.K.Maxx and a nice lounge chair from Primark.

They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and there’s no better time to put this to the test than at Christmas. Why not try a French food and wine hamper from M&S, a Hotel Chocolat Velvetised Cream collection, a Hot Sauces gift set or even a Krispy Kreme gift card that he can use online or in-store to satisfy his sweet tooth?
