Buying for men can be difficult, especially since a lot of gifts targeted at males are either jokey or so overly masculine as to be boring.

If you want to impress this Christmas, avoid the toilet humour books, useless novelties, and products emblazoned with moustaches and pints glasses that are everywhere at this time of year for some reason.

Instead, go for items they’ll actually use, whether that’s a kitchen gadget or a versatile accessory they can throw on with everything.

Our gift guide has a range of present ideas for every type of man, with not a cliché in sight (except slippers, but they’re a go-to for a reason).

Given many people are cutting back on spending this year, we’ve made sure to factor in a range of price points.

After all, a thoughtful, beautiful gift is priceless for the recipient – and their beaming smile will be a precious memory for you too.
