Forget the socks, these are the best gift ideas for him this Christmas

Best for: Those who sometimes just need to turn on noise cancellation

Give the gift of superior sound clarity with these Sonos headphones. For those who love tuning into their favourite playlist, podcast or audiobook, these headphones offer optimal comfort, 30 hours of battery life, spatial audio (with dynamic head tracking) and world-class noise cancellation. Also available in black.

Best for: Those who always have somewhere to be

This backpack has room for everything you need on an ordinary day; a laptop, sunglasses, phone and packed lunch. Whether your loved one goes straight from the gym to the office or from classes to a weekend away, this backpack stores it all.

Best for: Those who love a quick smoothie on the go

Whether you’re heading off for a weekend away or just love a fresh drink in the office or on the road, this portable blender by Ninja offers high-speed blending power with a cordless, hand-held design. Recharge via the base and put the components in the dishwasher, ready for the following day.

Best for: The home chefs who love to whip up a delicious casserole

Guests will be green with envy when they see this gorgeous Dutch oven. Cast iron can last for years, so this is a gift that will really just keep on giving. With a wide handle design to accommodate oven gloves and studded lid to allow condensation to gather, cooking will be a dream.

Best for: Those who fell in love with F1 after seeing Drive to Survive

This Lego set is recommended for ages 18+, so thankfully for many, no kids allowed. This is a toy for the big kids, which, one built, will no doubt stand tall as homeware decor and become a great conversation starter at parties. Become immersed in the details as you construct the 1:8 scale model, and explore the features such as the 7-speed gearbox, suspension and V8 piston engine. Like the life-sized McLaren, this version also comes with its unique serial number, giving the owner access to exclusive online content.

Best for: The film buffs or couch potatoes

Give the gift of endless streaming this Christmas. Whether he’s a lifelong fan of the Simpsons or loves to catch up with the latest drama on The Secret Lifes of Mormon Wives (we don’t judge), he’ll have access to some of the best new television shows and films, as well as the entire Disney and Marvel catalogue.

Best for: Those still hanging on to their Valco wallet they’ve had for years

Do men ever buy their own wallets? They seem to hold on to their old, fading, but much-loved wallet until they are gifted with a replacement. This premium option from Tommy Hilfiger has been designed in cognac brown leather with a pebble-grain finish. With a matching key fob, this set will last them many years, until they’re kindly gifted the next one.

Best for: The men who are always signing up for the next activity

If your man owns only one pair of running shoes, let them be these ones. Whether he’s training for a half-marathon, heading for a morning walk or working out in the gym, these Fresh Foam shoes offer comfort and high performance.

Best for: Those who always need a drink on the go

To signature Frank Green products in one set, yes please! The Ceramic Reusable Cup and Ceramic Reusable Bottle can be customised with 14 different colours and monogrammed to be sure no one ever picks up the wrong one.

Best for: Those who love a whiskey at the end of the week

Enjoy a fancy glass of whiskey, straight or on the rocks. This whiskey glass is thin and elegant with an angled rim, shaped to enable drinking from all sides. Eva Solo was established over 100 years ago and is still known for the functional and high-quality design of all its products.
