Whether he opts for a mild butter chicken, a flavoursome bhuna or a more fiery madras or masala, this Spicery Curry Kit is sure to whet his appetite. Featuring a 240-page cookbook packed with over 80 different curry recipes, the kit also includes four Indian curry spice blends, inspiring him to head to the kitchen and bring them to life.

With this mini tool kit, they’ll be prepared for any DIY emergency. The True Utility 12-in-1 Sharkey Multi Tool is compact and lightweight with a clip for easily attaching to a keyring so it can be carried around wherever they go. It comes with six screwdrivers, a pry bar, thread cutter, and box opener. There’s a file and even bottle opener too – one tool we’re sure they’ll make very good use of!

If the man in your life enjoys a beer, this gift set by Beavertown features all they need for a night in. The gift set comes with two cans, Brewdog Punk IPA 330ml and Beavertown Neck Oil 330ml, which they can enjoy in the enclosed Schooner beer glass while snacking on a bag of Sun Valley Nuts. It also comes with a Beer Hunter bottle opener and you can personalise the gift with their name to make it that bit more special.

Make winter nights super cosy with this oversized blanket hoodie by Trekki. Measuring 38” long, it will give plenty of coverage on cosy nights in and has been made with fleece and a fluffy sherpa lining. We also like the handy pockets for storing their phone, plus it’s easy to wash too.

Perfect for the man who has to commute or travel a lot, this Chilly’s Original Coffee Mug allows them to still enjoy their hot drinks while on the move. The double-walled travel mug is made from stainless steel with a BPA-free lid and maintains the temperature of the drink while being cool enough to carry. We like the powder coat finish of this cup and that it comes in two sizes (340ml or 500ml) in a range of different colours and patterns, so you can choose the right one for your recipient.

For the handyman in your life, this magnetic wristband comes recommended by Mumsnet users for being a great practical stocking filler. The one-size-fits-all band wraps around the wrist and has 15 strong magnets for attaching items such as screws, nails, drill bits, nuts, washers and bolts, so he has easy access when doing DIY. 

There’s also two different size packets for non-magnetic items, so there’ll be no rummaging around in his pocket or going back to his tool box, making it a great functional gift this Christmas.

Whether he likes to go hiking or for walks with the dog, this SEALSKINZ beanie hat has an LED torch for lighting the way on dark nights. The tight-knit design is made from a blend of acrylic and polyester to keep their head warm and dry.

The neutral black colourway will also be perfect for men who like minimal fuss. The battery lasts for up to 240 hours and is visible for 500m. We love that it’s easy to wash too.

While the barbecue may not be making an appearance for a few months yet, they’ll be itching to get it out when they receive this tool set. There’s four pieces included: easy-grip tongs, basting brush, and a two-pronged fork and flipper, which has an integrated bottle opener, so they have everything they’ll need for grilling in the summer months. 

The stylish stainless steel and ash wood tools can be personalised too and come in a handy carry case. A gorgeous gift for a keen griller.

This velvety soft robe from John Lewis is the ultimate in comfort when the cold winter nights draw in. Whether you're buying for your teenage son, husband or dad, this gorgeous gift comes in grey or blue and runs in sizes from small to XL. With handy front pockets and an adjustable belt to get a comfy fit, reviewers say it's cosy without being too heavy.

What says Christmas more than cheese? This gorgeous hamper by Snowdonia has four award-winning cheeses for him to devour: Black Bomber (an extra mature Cheddar), Pickle Power (a mature Cheddar with chunks of pickled onion), Red Devil (a Red Leicester spiked with Habanero chillies and peppers), and Beech Wood (a mature Cheddar naturally smoked over beechwood). 

It comes with two delicious chutneys, wholemeal crackers, Borettane onions and two bottles of Bragdy Conwy beer. There’s even a slate serving board for him to enjoy it all on.

If he likes the great outdoors and nature, he’ll be itching to set up this wildlife camera on Christmas Day! The 65MP camera can record high-clarity video with night vision, a sensor and an advanced mic that picks up movement and sound. It can capture images up to 100ft at night and has a 0.1s trigger speed, which takes up to five continuous photos to get the best shot.

The camera also features a 2.4” colour screen, playback, time stamp and programmable operation hours. With this gift he can channel his inner David Attenborough and become a wildlife expert at home.

Get this for your keen golfer and he’ll have plenty of fun practising his putting skills even when he’s not on the golf course. When rolled out, this mat by ToVii provides aids to help him align his body and putter to get the right stroke and speed.

There are three different-sized holes included to practise accuracy and precision, and we love that it automatically returns the ball to the user. Don’t worry, you can easily store it away when not in use.

An old school gadget that has made a resurgence, the SodaStream is the eco-friendly way to enjoy fizzy drinks at home. The Terra can transform tap water into sparkling water or into your favourite soft drink with flavoured syrups such as Pepsi, 7UP and lemonade. You can even use it to make cocktails! 

Not only will it appeal to gadget lovers, but also those who want to cut down on single-use plastic as you can make your favourite drink from home. The machine comes with a 60-litre pink gas cylinder and a 1-litre BPA-free bottle. Flavoured syrups need to be bought separately, so you will need to factor that into the cost.

Who doesn’t want to slide their feet into a soft and cosy pair of slippers at Christmas? Gift these to your dad or grandfather and he’ll keep warm and cosy throughout the winter months.

At £70, they are an investment, but they’re Swedish designed and handcrafted. They are made from real sheepskin for comfort and have a rubber sole for functionality, so whoever you're buying them for can keep their feet warm while they pop outside to the bins. The slippers also come in a range of colours.

LEGO is just as loved by adults as it is by children - especially when it’s Star Wars themed! Fans of the films will love this Imperial Star Destroyer with Darth Vader, Commander Praji, Imperial Gunner, Imperial Navy Trooper, Stormtrooper and a 25th anniversary Cal Kestis mini figure.

Featuring a common room, armoury, control panels and a fold-out carry handle, two spring loaded shooters and removable panels, they can have just as much fun playing with it as they do building it. Don’t be surprised if he wants to keep it on display after though! 

If you don't mind giving him a gift early, this is the perfect present for the man who has everything but enjoys a glass of whisky. An advent calendar with 25 3cl drams from around the globe, they can enjoy a different whisky throughout December, including blended whiskies, single malts, bourbon and rye. The spirits come from the likes of Scotland, Ireland, America and beyond.

For a bit of luxury, a cashmere jumper will make a gorgeous gift. This one by John Lewis has a half-zip front so it can look smart with trousers or can be worn with jeans for a more casual look. It’s ultra soft, fits well and runs from S to XXL. It comes in 11 different colours too, so if he loves it you could end up buying him another one next year!

Give the special man in your life the gift of enjoying their favourite beer at home, straight from the tap. The PerfectDraft machine by Phillips chills up to six litres of beer to a consistent 3ºC and it lasts for up to 30 days. 

You can choose from more than 40 beers from breweries, such as Stella Artois, Corona, Leffe and Jupiler. A handy LED indicator counts down the 30 days so you know when the beer is at its freshest - if it lasts that long! It’s pricey but one that we’re sure will get used again and again.

Enjoy freshly baked pizza at home with an Ooni Karu 12 Pizza Oven. Weighing just 12kg and compact in size, it’s easily portable and won’t take up too much room in the garden. You can use wood, charcoal or a gas burner (sold separately) to make flame cooked pizzas, just like in a restaurant.

It can reach temperatures of up to 500 degrees, with the power to cook a 12-inch pizza in just 60 seconds. Be warned though, you may be eating pizza for months!

Whether he’s listening to podcasts on the daily commute or his favourite band at the gym, Apple AirPods Pro2 offer great sound quality and make an amazing, practical gift.

The Pro 2 earbuds are dust, sweat and water resistant, and you can also listen to some audio in Dolby Atmos. They’re easy to use too, with touch and Siri controls available. Pricey but worth it.
