Music Tech
Bluetooth Shower Speaker
Every guy loves a bit of fancy technology and it makes a great gift which you know they'll love. One of my favourite picks are these bluetooth shower speakers from ASOS. At just £14.99 this smart speaker is water resistant, bluetooth and comes with a USB cable which makes it easy to sing along to your favourite tunes whilst in the shower. Not so great if your guy is known for taking all the hot water in the mornings .. but they will love it!
Headphones
Looking to buy for the music fanatic in your life? I am sure that their beaten up headphones could do with an update so why not treat them to a new pair which you know will be appreciated.
The new iPhone annoyingly comes without an average headphone jack which means that you have no choice but to use their Apple headphones or buy a new bluetooth pair. I don't know about you but receiving a pair of bluetooth headphones this christmas would make the perfect gift.
I have picked out a few pairs of headphones which I am are sure will go down a hit with any music fan.

Grooming
Men secretly love a good pamper session. Giving their AM-PM routine a boost with brand new body washes, face scrubs, beard oils will never go unappreciated.
Some men simply need a helping hand when picking up their grooming products so it is a great gift for them to receive at Christmas.
ASOS have a fantastic selection of products with a range of great brands on offer. Shaving kits, beard oils and shampoos are good choices for the guy who's into his facial hair and body washes and face scrubs will always get used. Bulldog is one of the best brands with high quality and affordable products.

Alcohol
Alcohol featured in my women's gift guide but I simply believe that you can never go wrong when buying someones favourite tipple, especially at Christmas time!
If the guy loves his beer, doing your research and finding some world craft beers makes a great gift, or find a local beer which you may be able to find in a local bar or beer house. Brewdog Brewery and Beavertown Brewery both make great beers.
Buying a fancier bottle of his usual Tesco's basics is a nice treat. Or if you want to get him something new to try out, Edinburgh Gin have a wide range of flavoured gins. Their Christmas Gin would make a great gift and the Rhubarb and Ginger gin is my favourite.

Experiences ; Gig Tickets, Holiday
Men are notoriously hard to buy for and we often end up buying the fussiest of relatives gifts that they will never like or appreciate, but they smile and say thank you for the sake of Christmas (and deep inside we know that it was a waste of money too...)
Buying someone an experience rather than an actual gift is a nice thoughtful and unique gift. Whether you pay for them to go to their favourite restaurant or tickets to see their favourite band play live- this is something that you know they will appreciate more than that new tie that they really didn't want.
If you know the guy loves a particular artist or band, buying him tickets to their gig is a great idea.If you're a fellow northerner like me, Manchester is the home to great live music- with live bands playing every weekend in big arenas and small bars across the city, there is always something going on for everyone.
Another great idea is to book him a holiday to go somewhere he has always wanted to visit. This is a great present which you can enjoy too. Book yourself a ticket to join him and it gives you both something to really look forward to when the excitement of Christmas is over.
City weekend breaks in Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin or Prague are always popular choices and won't break the bank with cheap flights available with airlines like Easyjet, Ryanair and Jet2.
Subscription
Buying somebody a subscription makes a great gift. You can pay and sign them up for TV services like Netflix, Now TV and Amazon Prime. Or if they've yet to upgrade themselves to unlimited music with Spotify premium, you can unveil them to a world of endless music (ad free!!)
Socks & Underwear
You may think that socks and underwear make a very boring gift but I promise you that the men in your life will thank you for saving them the yearly trip to Primark to stock up on their basics.
Boring but practical. Almost every man will appreciate a new pack of socks or boxers.
ASOS have a great range including brands such as Calvin Klein along with their ASOS own brand which is always good quality for your money.
