Christmas Gift Guide

I often hear people saying it’s much harder to buy gifts for the men in their family. Sometimes I do think the men in my life either just buy themselves things when they need them, or that they are quite happy with the things they already have, and don’t see a need for more of them. I do also find that this can potentially just be an older generation thing! However on the other hand, I do find some of them much easier to buy for, so I thought I’d share some gift guide ideas of what I’ve picked out this festive season (or any time of year!)

Gift Inspo for Guys

Simba Slippers – I find slippers are a really good option for pretty much anyone at Christmas. It’s something that some people like to refresh pretty regularly, usually because they opt for a cheaper option. However these Simba slippers are such a good gift (and have made it onto my gift guide for her too!) They are a bit more of an investment piece but have a bunch of benefits and are definitely a long-lasting piece that are perfect for anyone and everyone.

Stanley Cup. This is a practical but cool item. These cups have been going viral for the last few years – who thought water cups would be the next big thing?! These are really cool and sleek looking and come in a bunch of different colours, sizes and formats – so there’s a Stanley for everyone, whether you’re a camping enthusiast or just someone who needs to up their water intake!

Accessories. I’ve included hats, sunglasses, bandanas and some jewellery here. Ranging from those who opt for more practical items, to those who love to accessorise and are into their fashion. Accessories are a great option to show you know their style, and something to remind them of you when they wear it!

Eau de Toilette. If I’m ever shopping with my partner, we like to go and smell fragrances together. Not necessarily to buy, but it’s a great way to try a few options and make notes of our favourites. This is something we are basically always going to use so it’s always a safe bet if you don’t know what to buy! Our current favourite for Robbie is the Replica ‘By the Fireplace’ by Maison Margiela.

Gift Guide for Her

Next up for the ladies!

Slippers. Again these are from Simba – if you don’t know them, they basically make the comfiest sleep products like mattresses, duvets, pillows and now slippers! I have quite a few of their items now and am a longtime fan, so had to include these as they make for the perfect gift.

Ninja Creami. This has been on my list for a while. It’s basically an easy way to make things like smoothie bowls, ice cream and slushies. I am a regular maker of smoothie bowls, and I do love me a healthy dessert. I’ve seen a bunch of people making healthy ice cream on socials so it immediately went on my list.

Lip Products. Literally all of the ladies in my life use lip products. Whether it’s a lip balm, mask or lipstick, this is a great little thoughtful gift. If you aren’t sure on lipstick shades, or the recipient doesn’t wear it, I’d recommend the Laneige lip mask. These are on the pricier side but are so worth it and should be in everyone’s routine. Basically an intense lip treatment to keep the smackers hydrated!

Kindle and Kindle Cover. I’ve really gotten back into reading this year and it’s something I feel like everyone should try and make time for. It’s almost like a form of therapy for me and allows me to unwind at the end of the day. You could also opt for books, however if your budget is higher, a Kindle is a great option as you don’t need to choose the books and it obviously provides tonnes of options for the recipient! Another fun idea are accessories for a kindle – think a personalised case, charms, stickers etc.

Dyson Airdrop. This is more of an investment piece for sure. However if the lady in your life has mentioned this, and you do have the budget, then it’s totally worth it. I managed to bag myself a refurbished one on eBay so could be a great idea to check that too! It’s basically an everything-in-one product and I literally use mine most days so I can definitely vouch for these.
