Still stumped on what to get Dad, Granddad or your partner? We’ve all got one of those people that are extremely hard to buy for at Christmas or Birthdays. Why not give them a gift that actually means something? Here are a few ideas for you, I hope you find them useful, I’ve had fun looking for them.
I’m hankering after one of these myself, what man can’t resist a new gadget! Sony Smart Watch
Come the Summer time he’ll love using this fun apron and he can pretend he’s James Bond!
Give him something that will make him feel like a hero – and one he’ll enjoy talking about! I’ve been given a pile of poo! Oxfam give training in eco-friendly farming techniques to make a real difference in people’s lives. It’s only £9 too so perfect for a budget and you’re giving back to a worthy cause. For more gift ideas from Oxfam, head to their website.
Instead of a man draw how about a Man Tin
I love these socks from Not on The High Street.com, they’d be great for a Dad of all ages, perfect present from your little ones.
I’m getting one of these for my husband, he’s always wanted to make his own bacon, we even have a makeshift smoker in our back garden (He likes to think he’s some sort of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall) The Homemade Bacon Curing Kit
How about a subscription to Lick my Dip? It’s a hot sauce subscription box which sends out different sauces and chilli products each month.
I hope it’s given you some ideas! Have you got someone who’s so difficult to buy for? Let me know if you have any tips.

December 15, 2015 at 2:18 pmGreat list but it’s missing one thing; Brewbarrel beer making kit. They are utterly superb. #twinklytuesday
December 15, 2015 at 9:48 pmThanks, I’ll have to investigate those x
December 16, 2015 at 3:19 amWhat a great list. Of course, it helps if the men you are buying for have a sense of humor…. I’m not so sure I could see my father in law enjoying any of these except for the watch which I’m pretty sure he already has. Usually we just stick with gift cards or pictures/ calendars of the grand kids. I figure you can never go wrong with nostalgia!
December 15, 2015 at 9:54 pmMy dad is seriously the hardest man to buy for. I get stuck on “will he use it or will it sit on a shelf” battle. and “sit on a shelf” usually wins. But I love how unique and practical these gifts are! I will definitely keeping these in mind when I go to buy for him next year! Do you have any suggests for “what to get the man who wants nothing”?
