Whether you’re thinking of picking up a romantic treat for your significant other, a show of appreciation for a friend or a gift for a family member, it can be tricky knowing what to buy for the men in your life. While the male of the species can be notoriously difficult to buy presents for, you don’t have to go with slippers and socks! If you’re struggling to think of birthday gift ideas this year, consider these fail-safe gift options for the men in your life:

Beer Brewing Kit
Amidst a cost of living crisis and rising alcohol prices in pubs and bars, the home brewing market is on the rise. With the average price of a pint expected to reach £7 in some areas of the UK, there’s never been a better time for the man in your life to get in on the trend and brew their own beer. You can pick up a beginner’s brewing kit online for as little as £40, with kits available to easily produce lagers, stouts and IPAs. Cheers!
Event Tickets
If you’re planning something special for your man’s birthday this year, consider shopping around for event tickets focused on their hobbies and interests. Whether you’re thinking of snapping up tickets for a concert, sporting event or immersive adventure experience, it’s usually best to plan ahead and grab tickets while you can – big events are likely to sell out quickly, whereas getting early bird tickets can help you to save money to spend on the big day.
Jewellery
They say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but that doesn’t mean that men aren’t partial to a nice piece of jewellery too! The good news is, jewellery for men is often priced lower than women’s pieces – if you’re working with a smaller budget, there are a wide variety of retailers selling high-quality used watches (you can even pick up a used Rolex for a competitive price) and other pieces like chains, bracelets and cufflinks that would make the perfect birthday gift for the man in your life.
Male Grooming Products
While the toiletries and cosmetics markets were traditionally dominated by female-centric products, the male grooming industry has been on the rise for years now – the market was valued at 16 billion EUR by Statista back in 2019, and the numbers keep on growing! Grooming products that continually prove popular with male consumers include those related to shaving and beard maintenance, such as shaving foam, beard oil, beard wash and cut-throat razors; other popular choices with male shoppers include skincare products such as moisturizers, eye cream, lip balm and even toner!
