I’m the kind of person who does everything last minute, so it is no surprise that it’s less than two weeks to Christmas and I haven’t bought a single present yet. I will be heading into town this weekend as a woman on mission! I love shopping in general and especially for other people, but this year I have been so busy with work and college that I’ve decided to do some of my shopping online. Usually the biggest headache every year is buying gifts for the men in my life, my boyfriend, dad, brother in law etc. Wanting to get something different this year for them (there’s only so many ties, socks and scarves you can get) I decided to spend some time doing research online and I have tracked down a list of great gift ideas for all the great men in your life!
Here are my choices for the best men’s Christmas gift ideas, that promise to deliver in time for the big day:
For the Fitness Guy: New Fitbit Alta Fitness Tracker – Buy It Here for €129.85
With this newbie you can track workouts, heart rate, distance, calories burned, floors climbed, active minutes and steps. You can also monitor how long and how well you’ve been sleeping and can even receive texts and calls at a glance when you’re on the move.
For the Bodyfat freak: Azmed Skinfold Bodyfat Caliper Set. Buy it here for €15.
This is an oldie but a goodie. For the man who’s looking to get in serious shape come January this form of body fat analysis is one of the most accurate readings you can get without spending a bloody fortune! It provides a simple measurement of body fat percentage by pinching certain areas of the body to gauge the skin fold thickness. For only €15 this is a great stocking filler!
For the Protein Junkie: BODYFIRST NUTRITION Selection Box – Starting from €13.95 you can buy them here.
Body first have cleverly recognised a brilliant gap in the market and have created a protein bar selection box for the guys who wont be chomping down on Wispas or Yorkees come Christmas day. You get to choose whether you want a box with 5, 6 or 7 bars and you also get to choose what brand and flavours you want too! I think this is a great idea from Bodyfirst and I have on the way for my health freak boyfriend.
For the Cigar Smoker: Montecristo Selection Box – Buy it here for €68.
A different type of selection box. This is a great gift set for the Montecristo fans. Montecristos; the No.2, the No.3, the No.4 and the No.5. These four cigars come in a cool gift box, along with a single blade cigar cutter and a small pack James Fox of matches.
For the Whiskey Drinker: The Corkcicle Ice Whiskey Wedge – Buy it here for €22.
Attractive? check. Classy? check.
I love this slick gift from root 7. Perfect for whiskey and gin lovers and design enthusiasts, this innovative wedge keeps your spirits cold from start to finish without watering down your spirit and your soul!
For the Golfer: Toilet Golf Set- Buy it on Amazon for only €15.
A fun gift for any golfer, where they can practice their shot in their very own bathroom/toilet. Not like they needed another reason to disappear to the loo for an hour or so haha!
For the Alcohol Loving Jet Setter: W&P design Carry on Cocktail Kit for old fashion in-flight cocktails €30 available here.
How about the chance to make yourself the perfect cocktail mid air. Because waiting for the trolley dollies to get to your sit is such a drag, W&P have created the very nifty little Carry On Cocktail Kit. This is sure to make travelling in economy that little easier.
For the Game Player & Virtual Techie: The VR Box Virtual Reality Headset €49 buy one online here.
2016 is all about popping your phone into one of these headsets. Explore games and scenery in 360 vision. I tried on one of these last week in Liffey Valley and it got me pretty excited so I picked one up for my Dad…(because secretly I wanted it for myself hehe!) This brand is definitely more novelty and less mainstream but it’s definitely worth the price tag and it will be something fun and different to play with over Christmas.
For the Techie Snoozer: SensorWake from €105 available here.
Recognised and awarded by Google at their awarding it as one of the top 15 inventions “that can change the world” at the 2014 Google Science Fair, this alarm wakes you up to a fresh scent every morning. From freshly baked croissants and coffee to seaside and jungle smells. Check out their website for more information on this brilliant invention.
For the Retro Music Man : Crosley Cruiser turntable record player, on sale at €84 available here.
My brother in law recently got one and I have one down on my xmas wish list. I just love the rich and warm sound of vinyl. Put down the iPod and enjoy your music with the old school sound from the Crosley Cruiser Turntable.
Get your orders in quick some of these gifts are selling out fast! And I hope this has helped some of the other last minute shoppers out there:)
