So at Christmas, I know a lot of people struggle with what to buy the man in their life so I am here with my Christmas elf hat on to help you pick the best gifts to gift the man in your life this festive season. I work hard on finding the right gifts for the men in my life I really enjoy finding something that will make them smile and they will actually use it

As with all my gift guides, some of the items I have bought as gifts for my loved ones and some have been gifted for inclusion in this guide. So without further a do let's get into it. 

Tech 

Not everyone is super tech-savvy or needs a big expensive flashy phone and I have found the perfect phone for these people. I know this would be a great gift for a grandparent or someone who likes a more simple reliable phone. Emporia SMART.4 32GB Mobile Phone

The S4 is a compact and easy-to-use 5 smartphone with simplified menus, large icons and text. The ease-of-use is coupled with powerful features for todays world, including an Integrated QR scanner App which is perfect for track and trace logging, or for linking to websites. It is simple to point and click at any of the unique QR images you may see.

The 13mp rear camera with LED flash delivers detailed pictures and also has a 5MP front camera for selfies or video calls keeping you in touch.  And with the pre-installed Magnifier App the camera becomes a handy tool for increasing the size of images or text that you might find difficult to read, perfect if you've forgotten your glasses.

Today we are used to contactless payments with cards, but with NFC (Near Field Communication) built-in you are now able to add secure banking apps or use Google Pay for all of your everyday shopping with your phone. 

Everyone needs good headphones. These are the OPPO Enco Free2. My husband has been trying these out and these are now his go two headphones. That speaks volumes as he is really picking when it comes to headphones and sound quality. 

OPPO Enco Free2 are designed for those who want a premium listening experience, created in partnership with Dynaudio, these earbuds strike the perfect balance between luxury and affordability at a wallet-friendly price point of £89.99. They’re Android and IOS compatible, so perfect to pair with your smartphone.

Key features of the OPPO Enco Free2 include:

Double barrelled for an extra smooth finish, Caisteal Chamuis blended whisky is first aged in refill and first fill American oak hogsheads, before going through a two-stage re-ageing, with part of the blend in 250l charred virgin American oak barrels, and the rest in refill hogsheads. A final ageing takes place in smaller 200l bourbon barrels.

The bottle itself tells the mysterious story of the ruined Caisteal Chamuis – the old fortress on the Sleat Peninsula of Skye which was fought over by the Mcleod and MacDonald clans throughout history.

Tasting notes: the result is a fragrant, layered and complex whisky with soft, smooth peat to start. Honeyed, peppery notes follow with sweet spice and creamy vanilla. It’s complex and soft, yet characterful.

We all know Gillette? Don't we, But they have released a new very special razor the Gillette Labs Exfoliating Razor Bundle with Magnetic Stand. I have used Gillette for years off and on so had my husband. I think everyone who shaves has used them. 

The Gillette Labs with Exfoliating Bar is the world’s first razor with exfoliating technology built into the cartridge. This means that it is designed for a quick and easy shave that is no longer a chore but something to be enjoyed. The exfoliation bar removes dirt and debris, such as dead skin cells, before the blades pass, thereby allowing for a close and accurate shave.

What's more, the 2D FlexDisc technology used will move according to the contours of your face to help ensure comfort and close contact is maintained with every stroke of your razor. Featuring Gillette's best razor blades, this bundle comes with a premium magnetic stand so you can store your razor and handle it conveniently after use.

Games

Sweet treat 

Your eyes are not deceiving you this is The chocolate Workshop Cycling Lovers Chocolate Gift Set. It is made out of chocolate. Isn't this the perfect gift for the cycling fan in your life? I love how unusual this is.

 

One of the most popular boxes, this selection is perfect for any biking fans. The set includes incredibly realistic hand-made chocolate bike chain, gear, seat, spanner, allen key and padlock

You’d be forgiven for wondering if our chocolate tastes nice. It looks weird, like tools and things. And you may never have thought of eating a horseshoe before. Could it be made of rubbish chocolate like that cheap, grainy ‘advent calendar’ stuff?

The short answer is we only use fine-grade, Venezuelan chocolate. But we know you’ll be wanting a little more detail, so….

Here’s a brief guide to the quality of the chocolate, the ingredients we use and why we use them… so you can tuck into that horseshoe knowing it’s not going to taste like one. 

I hope you have enjoyed this little gift guide and it has given you some amazing ideas for the man in your life.
