One thing you may learn about me this festive season, is that I love Christmas shopping and thinking up gift ideas. Since Killer Fashion is run by a female blogger and the majority of my readers & followers are female too, it always makes sense to post up the Gifts For Him early on! I always have a lot of the lads to shop for so I’m constantly on the look out for new, unique, fun and luxurious “man loot”. Whether it’s for your boyfriend or husband, your dad or brother, your mates or the male family, here are my top tips to help you find the perfect gift that’ll make you outshine Santa himself. But of course, feel free to mix & match from the sections below, because sometimes our man may love a bit of Nintendo NES as much as he may love a flashy new watch! Just remember the delivery times & delivery costs to Ireland if you do shop online, and get to it quick as items will sell out fast online! Happy shopping darlings! Check the bottom of this post to see the other Gift Guides!
For Your Boyfriend/Husband
When it comes to Christmas, us ladies love to spoil our #1 man, though we don’t always know what they might like. Depending on his personality, there are various gifts to suit him, so I’m hoping the below list will be ideal as well as help inspire you. I highly recommend the Fitbit Blaze, available in a few different colours & styles, that’s suitable for sporty guys, businessmen or tech lovers with its multi-functional smart watch features as well as prominently being a fitness tracker. Thomas Sabo also have a great range of mens’ watches & jewellery, the latter of which you can get engraved, available at Weir & Sons, who have a brilliant selection of special items at high prices too. So whether you want to hit the streets and in to the stores or if you prefer to relax on the couch and shop online, here are some great gifts I’ve uncovered just for you to treat himself, (oh you lucky ladies, you!).
