We have just over one month until Christmas, and so begins the countdown with the first gift guide; for him!
This year I am doing my Christmas gift guides a little differently. I am building them around the “7 Gifts” idea. Read on to discover what the “7 Gifts” idea is, and 2019's top picks for each type of gift for him.
What is the "7 Gifts" idea?
How many of us have a house full of ‘stuff’ already? How many times have your children had a pile of gifts on their birthday or at Christmas some of which never see the light of day again?
The “7 Gifts” idea is designed to cut down on waste, and ensure your family receive useful gifts and memories too! The image below details the seven categories of the “7 Gifts” idea. (Feel free to pin it to Pinterest and share with friends and family!)
Something they need
Power bank
† I don't need to worry anymore. The power in these little blocks is enough for more than one full charge. It isn't a cheap, but it's a worthwhile gift idea for him! If the man in your life does a lot of travelling why not pick one up for him as well?Shaving kit
A coat
† I've made sure John has a a lightweight option for when the weather is wet but a little less chilly. You'd be surprised at how inexpensive the options available are, but still offering good quality protection from the weather.Something they want
(Or you know they'll love!)
A CD
†. Obviously these days most people have gone down the digital route; but I still think a CD is a great gift idea, and although it may be considered ‘classic’ or 'old school' John and I would rather have a physical copy over a digital one anyway!The Amazing Mystery Box*
Something to wear
Hugo Boss: Boss Bottled
† and the matching Hugo Boss Bottled after shave balm
† was a given. This year I bought the two individually as that worked out the best value for money, however in the past I have often bought gift sets instead!When it comes to aftershave and their additional products, I have a couple if pieces of advice:
Don't shop last minute. Whilst you may still find the brand you're after on offer now, wait until the weekend before Christmas and the price is likely to hike!
Shop around. Whilst I found the best deals for these two products on Amazon there are a number of other shops where you may find a better deal from The Perfume Shop to Boots.
Don't forget to check gift sets. Whilst this year the best deal for me was buying the after shave and balm individually, you may find a better deal on buying the two products together. Some sets come with dehoderant spray and/or body wash too.
A jumper or hoodie
†. They're inexpensive and come in a variety of colours so I'm sure you can find something to suit the man in your life too!Something to drink (or eat!)
Mini gin selection
Whisky
Warming drinks and yummy snacks
Something to do
Taskmaster: The Board Game*
†.Something for me
Photo gifts
I really don't think there is a better Christmas gift for him (or her!) than a photo gift.
Something to keep forever.
Something to cherish memories of a moment captured in time.
Personalised beer
Personalised gifts are always a winner, and a great way to put a smile on anyone's face. For something a little more unusual, why not buy this fab “DAD” personalised beer pack*? Not only do you get three tasty beer bottles for your dad to drink; but the labels can be personalised with his name too! If you dad isn't a beer fan, The Personalised Gift Shop had a variety of other personalised gifts to choose from so all you have to do is scroll through and take your pick.
Personalised glassware
Personalised gifts for him don't just have to be in drink form though. The Gift Experience have these lovely personalised beer glasses* which will no doubt suit a variety of men. In addition, why not add a little message to be engraved into the glass. I went a little cheeky and had “To the greatest Grandad, a new glass to help you work on your six pack" engraved on these! If 3 beer glasses aren’t suited to your partner, dad or grandad; don't panic! The Gift Experience offer everything from homeware such as cushions and frames to books and sports items; so you're bound to find him something to suit his tastes!
Something for family
Interaction
All in all I think the “7 Gifts” idea is a great one, ensuring that you vary the gifts bought and don't end up wasting money on more unnecessary ‘stuff’. I hope that with these gift ideas for him, within the seven categories, you no have everything you need to get your Christmas shopping underway in time for Christmas.
Wishing you a very Happy Christmas from my family and me this year!
