Jekyll & Hyde Natural Beard Balm
Beards show no sign of disappearing anytime soon, so beard care products are a great gift idea for the discerning beardie in your life. The Jekyll & Hyde Natural Beard Balm from The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Company is one such product that is sure to delight.
The Jekyll & Hyde Natural Beard Balm is a 100% natural product, that is perfect for those who like to keep their beard well groomed and looking in exceptional condition. It is formulated with unrefined organic Shea Butter and Coconut Oil so it smells just incredible. It is then enriched with essential oils like Rosewood and Basil Oil which mean it nourishes, softens, and styles your beard while protecting the skin beneath.
This balm comes in a 30g tin, and you only need a very small amount to obtain optimum results. Definitely one to add to the Christmas list.

The Mission Samurai II dartboard from Darts Corner
The fastest growing sport of the moment must be darts. Whether you enjoy watching Luke Littler, or if it’s the other Luke, Mr Humphries, who gets you cheering, darts has become a pastime that is great to watch, and also to have a little dabble in. If (like all the men in my house) you are buying for someone who is darts mad, then the the Mission Samurai II dartboard from Darts Corner is absolutely perfect.
This board is a competition standard top-quality board, featuring an ultra-thin wire construction. This board is the official dartboard of the UKDA, the SDA and is fully WDF approved, so is perfect for any player.
If you are interested in this dartboard, or want to buy someone a new set of darts, check out the range at Darts Corner.
A Retro Replica Football Shirt From Toffs
Toffs is the destination for all retro football and rugby tops which make them a great idea when looking for Christmas gifts. TOFFS sell a massive range of more than 1,000 retro replica football and rugby shirts, from Premier League and Championship teams, from International sides and National teams, and these come in both adult and child sizes.
Many of these shirts are in truly iconic designs that were worn by the greatest teams and the greatest players. Additionally, TOFFS sell original retro football shirts that take inspiration from historic kits, but with a unique, modern edge. All shirts are made in Britain, handcrafted using all British materials.
My key pick is from my own team, WBA, who have a brilliant history when it comes to iconic players and shirts. The 1978 Away top is probably one of the most famous football shirts of all time, one that was worn by the iconic, groundbreaking trio known as ‘the three degrees’, Cyrille Regis, Brendan Batson and Laurie Cunningham. This replica is wonderful, true to the design, and such brilliant quality.
A Gift Experience From Buyagift
The argument for the men in your life is that, often when you ask them what they would like for Christmas, they tell you that they don’t ‘need’ anything, so rather than buy them ‘something’, why not instead buy them ‘something to do’? Buyagift is the perfect place to find experiences, whether these be linked to driving, helicopters, eating out and stadium tours. These are often gift experiences that can be purchased to by enjoyed at a later date, so the recipient has something to look forward to after Christmas, and can even be swapped if they are just not right.
My key pick this season is a stadium tour for four at Anfield, the home of Liverpool FC, as this is a brilliant day out at a fantastic stadium and museum. It can also be combined with a day out in the vibrant city of Liverpool, maybe even being extended into a whole weekend away.
Men’s Arctic Ocean Organic Cotton Hoodie
With Winter around the corner, great outdoor wear is a priority, particularly if you enjoy Winter sports or just being active and out and about. Helly Hansen is a brilliant brand when it comes to outdoor wear, as they say, your next adventure is always ‘just around the corner’, and my key pick from their current range is the Men’s Arctic Ocean Organic Cotton Hoodie, which is a warm, stylish, utterly wearable hoodie.
Helly Hansen say of this:
Our winter hoodie has super-soft organic cotton, upgraded with greater thickness and weight. The graphics are inspired by our design collaboration with the professionals who work in extreme Arctic climates. See composition for more details on organic cotton.
Definitely a great Christmas gift idea for an outdoors type.
A Cool T-Shirt From Fields Apparel
If you are looking for a present for someone who loves cool band t-shirts, then you need to take a look at the range from Fields Apparel. Fields is a a men’s/unisex eco friendly clothing brand that has a great range with a truly retro vibe. I love how founder Andy describes his range, which was devised during lockdown:-
Designs inspired by band tees, truck logos, music, food, drink and clothing. Things that look good to wear to the pub!
The Band Tee is great, a look that reminds me of a certain British band that is created in a gorgeous soft, organic cotton that is also a regular fit – great for those who have got totally fed up of skinny fit, teenage styles. The logo on the back means that this looks good from every angle, and at £26, this is an affordable, wearable gift idea suitable for any age.
Mayfair Eau de Parfum from The Savile Row Company
Fragrance is another evergreen gift idea for both men and women, but it is always nice to receive a brand new fragrance to try out. Mayfair is the new Eau de Parfum from The Savile Row Company, which always produces fragrance of the highest quality, that is also beautifully boxed in recyclable packaging, and is the ultimate gents gift idea.
Uniquely British, this timeless Eau de Parfum celebrates the heritage and tradition of London’s Savile Row, the home of bespoke tailoring. Top notes of mandarin, cardamom and apple are softened with a heart of lavender, nutmeg and orange flower, then warmed with base notes of Tonka bean, leather and amber. The finishing touch to one’s attire and the perfect gift for any special occasion.
There is also a fabulous beard oil to compliment the Saville Row colognes. The Heritage beard oil is fragranced with Vitamins and Argan, Jojoba, Avocado & Sweet Almond Essential Oils. It is perfect for nourishing the beard and also scents skin & beard hair. Available here.

A personalized Mug from Vistaprint
I always say that personalised gifts which have personal messages and photographs attached are a fun and yet thoughtful gift idea that will always delight. They truly show thought for the recipient, and I have previously shown some of the fab designs from VistaPrint.
If you are looking for a personalised gift for one of the males in your life, then you could go for a mug, with either a treasured photograph, or a funny slogan on.
