Hey there.
Men seem hard to buy for, for some reason. I've no idea why. I've spent my life surrounded by wonderful men, and I'm always afraid I'll get them something they mightn't like. So my fool proof plan for making sure it's something they'll always like? Ask them. Men are so practical. Ask them what they want/need. Chances are they'll tell you the truth. Women (I know) love receiving items they can't justify getting for themselves, men love getting items they haven't gotten round to buying yet. I am a strange hybrid that always ends up buying the items I shouldn't have justified!

As far as I'm concerned, this is the easy one. Kris' birthday is New Years Eve, I pick out maybe 10 I think he'll like then I get him to go through them and finalise what he wants. It doesn't sound romantic when I break it down like that, but nothing makes me as happy as seeing his face shine when he's finally allowed wear it. I need to point out now, Kris is much more stylish than I am, so his big present is usually clothes. Last year we picked out an amazing waxed flight jacket from Debenhams similar to this. I managed to get the coat at the start of November when there was a 30% off sale! I'll also get this three surprises, one for Christmas and two for this birthday. I love TK Maxx for stocking fillers for men. I have gotten him so many books over the years- cookery books, a huge book all about James Bond with posters, even a casserole dish! (Disclaimer: Kris is sound and loves cooking, I amn't a total mog.)
Here are some ideas for the man in your life:
Not the exact same but as close as I could find!
I love a good brown coat. Dress coats are always appreciated!
Myself and my brothers are so bad at giving each other presents. I do try, but generally I travel up home Christmas Eve and I cannot be arsed hauling a massive bag of presents for them. In fact for many years I've given them socks and jocks- not so glamourous, but definitely worn anyway. My youngest brothers birthday is the 12th of December, so I always do my best to make sure he gets a bit spoilt. This year, at his request, he's getting a voucher for a restaurant he likes and he is bringing Eloise to see Santa on Monday! You don't have to spend a fortune to make someone happy, he does so much for us and it makes me so happy knowing how much he wants to do this.
Some ideas for the men who've made you the patient person you are today:
For the Pádraig in your life
For your very own Seán
And for the most blessed of all- Éoin
Daddy:
This man deserves everything he could ever hope for, and so much more. This year he's getting a pair of slacks, because that's what he needs. I've always come home for Christmas, and now this year he gets to have his daughter and his granddaughter at the table. He is the most loving, patient man, and now he has a new Puddin' to dote on. I can't think of a better present for him.
What do you give the man who has everything?
A nice whiskey is always appreciated!
He bloody loves this eejit.
I've tried to include a few bits for everyone, and the beauty with men is you could swap around any of these for any of them. Although I don't know how delighted Éoin would be with the DVD, you can rest assured he'd love the boots or the whiskey!
I'm going to wrap this up (lawl) with the Female Guift Guide on Wednesday! Anything you think I should definitely include? Anything you'd add to the above post? Leave a comment here, or contact me on Facebook, Instagram or Tweet me!
Love,
