Christmas gifts for men

admin — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 23:15:15 +0000

Men think it’s easy to buy for other men; but women have a hard time nailing the right Christmas present. Men prefer things that are useful or just plain cool. For example a leather iPad holder will go down a treat with a man, but most women find these things dull, unless they are made by Louis Vuitton and come in pretty colours. This is a gross and blatant overgeneralization, but you get the picture; men and women are different in terms of what they view as their ideal present. So, with this in mind, here is some inspiration for Christmas with House of Fraser gifts for men, all available from their website.

Music technology

The Panasonic Bluetooth wireless micro sound system may look small but the sound is anything but. Your partner can wirelessly connect his iPhone, iPod or iPad to the player without getting up from the sofa. It looks sleek too and the sliding door cover opens when you pass your hand over the sensor: very cool.

Directors Cut

Men are big fans of showing off, but they no longer can make do with talking the talk; now they can prove they’ve actually done what they’re bragging about. The Panasonic full HD 3D-ready camcorder is super light and super stylish. It has both digital and optical zoom and even night-view recording. Any man that’s into sports, particularly of the high octane, action variety will just love one of these.

Sharp as a knife

Men like to look flash in the kitchen and there’s no way a squashed tomato due to blunt knives looks flash. Super sharp knives are the only way to cut the mustard in the kitchen. Some Sabatier, Global or Fusion knives are sure to please and you are likely to benefit too as he’ll be keen to use them to cook up a storm in the kitchen.

So fresh and so clean

Just as much as women love to receive a new perfume, men like to get a new aftershave or grooming kit. This isn’t the kind of thing they buy themselves all that often so it’s the ideal Christmas present. Obviously you are going to know better than us what fragrance is best, but if you need some inspiration, both Lacoste and Hugo Boss have some new gift sets out this Christmas including Boss Orange and Lacoste Blue; how very colourful.

Can Christmas and convenience go hand in hand?

Where did you do your Christmas shopping this year? Your favourite high street shops perhaps, or maybe a department store such as John Lewis or House of Frasier? You might have opted for a shopping trip to London, Birmingham or Manchester, the country’s shopping hot spots complete with designer shopping, trendy boutiques and humungous malls. But it is also likely that you spent a good deal of money and time shopping online, or at least purchasing your goodies there. One great site is Express Gifts, who offer a range of Christmas gifts that can be delivered to locations across the globe.

According to the Office of National Statistics, internet sales reached a record high in November. Shopping online accounted for 10.5% of all retail sales in the month, a rise from 7.9% the same time last year. This could be from an increase in the number of high-ticket items bought online rather in than in store, or simply that more people are choosing the virtual over the real high street.

The ONS also stated that many shoppers are probably browsing in store, maybe even obtaining information from shop assistants and trying out items and clothes, but then they are heading home, jumping on the computer and shopping from the comfort of their living room or kitchen table.

The bad weather also meant many people couldn’t get to the shops; therefore internet shopping was the only option. Convenience is one of the main benefits to shopping online. You can sit in a comfy chair with a cup of tea and browse at your leisure. No need to pay parking charges, stand in long queues and fight between being too hot inside and too cold outside.

But convenience isn’t the only reason many shoppers turned to the virtual world of online shopping at Christmas 2010. The recession and the proceeding slow economic recovery has meant many people, particularly families, have a lot less cash to spend on presents than they did a few years ago. But, children still have the same demands, and there is still the pressure to buy gifts for everyone even relatives you only see at Christmas and ‘put on a good spread’ including a huge turkey with all the trimmings. All this costs money and shopping online – in most cases – is cheaper than shopping in store.

You also get far more variety, you can search for specific key words for things that would be almost impossible to find on the high street and you can order presents from the US, India and Australia.
