Unique gift ideas for men

Men. We love them and we hate them. Occasionally when we love them, we buy them gifts. But boy oh boy. They're so difficult to buy for. All they want is fast cars and sex. But you can't afford the fast cars and as for the second, well we won't go there. Besides, sometimes you have to buy gifts for a male friend or a boss or a relative. They need gifts too. So we've scratched our heads and come up with a few ideas. We will be adding a range of gifts for men to our website soon but we'll always have a great ideas page too.

Disclaimer: Our apologies to those men who may be reading this and who take offense. We assume (wrongly at times) that most of our customers are female. We also know that there are some sensitive metro males out there who will be outraged at our statement that all they're interested in is fast cars and sex. We don't mean you of course.

Mr & Mrs Smith boutique hotel directory

Want your man to take you on a little d.w. The ultimate guide to what’s hot in hotels and accommodation. A great gift idea for any man if he hasn’t already got one. Especially if there's a vested interest. Buy it here.

Petzl light

Seriously ladies. The best present ever. Once you discover how much guys love this gift, you’ll give it to every single guy you know untill they’ve all got one. Its uses are endless: when he’s biking or hiking, when he’s getting something from the loft or peering at a leaking tap under the sink. When he's barbecuing and it’s dark and he wants to check the status of the meat. (Brilliant for this.) Buy it here.

Flip flops with built in opener

The ultimate guys gift. Flip flops with a built in bottle opener. Nuff said. Just make sure your man doesn’t go near any dog doody. Buy it here.

U star novel

We love this idea. It’s sooo good. A personalised novel with you and your lover in the starring roles. Choose from various scenarios: You and your lover are secret agents in Barcelona. Or, you're in steamy Africa on a safari and a deadly killer is on the loose. Perhaps you prefer a dirty weekend in saucy France. (Unfortunately you attract the unwanted attention of a powerful gangster.) Power, envy and lust collide in these page turners. Professionally printed like any novel at only £26.95. Bargain! Buy it here.

Chocolate

It may be a cliché to buy chocolate but clichés are clichés for a reason. They’re tried and tested. The bigger the better so we suggest these giant chocolate slabs from Hotel Chocolat. Go: Hotel Chocolat

Butt station desk tidy

Men really do love gadgets and desk stationery. And this not desk tidy is not only funny ha ha but really useful too. We can see this becoming a topic of office conversation. Your man will love this. Buy it here.
