As you know, Killer Fashion is run by a female blogger and the majority of my readers & followers are female too. I always have a lot of the lads to shop for each year, so I’m constantly on the look out for new, unique, fun and luxurious “man loot” and today I give you this year’s Gifts For Him.
Whether it’s for your boyfriend or husband, your dad or brother, your mates or any of the male family, here are my top picks 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 SNES 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 may sell out soon! 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 hopefully the list below will be both helpful and inspirational. I highly recommend the Thomas Sabo Rebel Urban Watch, also available in a few different styles, that’s suitable for sporty guys, businessmen or watch lovers with its chronograph features as well as the classic Roman numerals and unique face accents. Weir & Sons also have a great range of mens’ watches & jewellery, some of which you can get engraved, alongside a brilliant selection of special items at high prices too. For fashion pieces look to Irish brands Magee 1866, Mr. Jenks, Louis Copeland, as well as pieces from Brown Thomas and Next. 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.
