Want to get away from giving socks and slippers every single Christmas? Well, here are some great ideas for the main men in your life. Whether it’s grumpy grandad or fussy uncle Phil, we’ve got you covered.
Prezzee giftcard
We’ve all been bamboozled when we’ve had the “You spend your money on yourself” or “I don’t really need anything” replies to “What would you like for Christmas?” Well, here’s the ultimate solution. A giftcard that suits everyone of every age. It’s a digital gift that can be sent in a few clicks and scheduled for the perfect moment. A Prezzee giftcard can be redeemed in 190 stores including Beer 52, B&Q, Currys, Virgin Experience Days and lots more.
This Indian Spice Tin With 9 Spices is a brilliant idea, especially if you know you’re going to have turkey galore leftover on Boxing Day. Designed to be kept and cooked from for life, this fab tin can be replenished whenever you run out. It comes complete with a recipe booklet to help you create the perfect curry or other Indian dish at home with fabulous-tasting, authentic spices including turmeric, cassia bark, garam masala and more.
If he can’t function without a brew first thing in the morning, he’ll love this gift for his cafetiere from John Farrer & Co Tea and Coffee Merchants based in the Lakes. This perfect stocking filler includes 3 x 125g bags of New England ground coffee, Farrer’s No1 ground coffee and Westmorland Blend ground coffee. All three coffees are incredibly smooth and with a choice of strengths, there is something to suit every taste. They come pre-packaged in a specially designed presentation gift box too.
Guided by master distiller Billy Walker, the team at Speyside’s GlenAllachie Distillery has been on a ‘Meikle Tòir‘ (or ‘big pursuit’) to craft and cask-perfect a peerless peated single malt – and has succeeded. For the man who loves a wee dram, ‘The Original’, made from mainland peat from St. Fergus, is the perfect Christmas gift. It’s a sweeter hit than you’d expect from a peaty offering but with fermentation time of 160 hours, it boasts incredible flavour and is available from a range of barrels. The Meikle Tòir range comprises four whiskies: The Original, The Sherry One, The Chinquapin One and The Turbo.
Gourmet popcorn brand, Joe & Seph’s is making this year’s Christmas even more special with its delicious festive range, now available online.
The Christmas goodies include brand new festive flavours, stocking fillers and must-have gifts. There are so many gifts to choose from but we particularly like the Large Star Box gift, filled with merry chocolate popcorn stars and the salted caramel truffles, made with award-winning salted caramel sauce. A proper treat for any snack fiend.
For the seasoned traveller, how about a bespoke Ordnance Survey map? You can personalise with a front cover image that you choose yourself. All you need to do is enter the postcode for a home address, or name of a village or town, and this becomes the centre point of a unique foldable OS map. In addition, you can buy canvas and framed versions so people could hang their favourite map locations on their walls at home.
The Futlitt back pack is perfect for those who commute to work in the darker mornings and evenings or enjoy a run on the streets, as it has LED strips that can be activated to make the wearer visible. It also has drinks bottle holders, a laptop compartment and lots of pockets.
