Shopping for Christmas gifts is (almost) as fun as opening your own pressies on December 25. But is it just us or are men the hardest people to buy for? Finding gifts for teens and sorting out your stocking stuffers feels doable (and often results in a little treat for yourself too!). But shopping for your dad, husband, brother, uncle, twice-removed cousin? An absolute chore.
Let’s face it, if he’s lucky enough to have you in his life, he truly does have everything he needs. But nonetheless, it’s always nice to see his face light up as he unwraps the gift he never knew he needed on Christmas morning.
So to take all the stress out of your Chrissy shopping and ensure you’re getting into the holly jolly spirit, we’ve compiled the ultimate gift guide for hard-to-buy-for blokes. From beard care to skin sets, behold, the best Christmas gifts for men who have everything…
