What are the men in your life getting for Christmas?

I'm stuck for all the men in my life as to what to get them For Christmas. My father in law is on his own otherwise I'd get him a hotel voucher to share with someone. He's into diy so I might get him a power tool or see if he'd maybe like a coffee machine thingy.

My own dad is hard as he has no interests and him and my mum live quite separate lives so a hotel stay would be a waste.

The two brothers are equally hard as they have most stuff but we still all buying gifts for each other so I'll have to source something.

I'm hoping that Black Friday deals throw up some ideas 💡

I've got my dad a tabletop firepit for the garden and my husband a driving experience. I'm planning to get my mum and step-dad a joint present like theatre tickets.

I'd rather spend money on experiences rather than things. Are your dad/brothers into wine/beer/cider? Are they foodies? If they were you could get a tasting experience or make up a hamper, food & drink gifts I find are always well received. Do either of your brothers have partner and/or kids? You could do/get something for them as to use as a family like cinema/bowling/ninja warrior etc

If you'd rather give a present what about a nice shirt/jumper/coat for your dad/in law?

Men in my life I’m buying:
dad - chocolates as I feel my mum is under feeding him 😂
FIL - started collecting model trains so something trainy
Elderly neighbour - builds models so model boat he likes
BIL - Ralph Lauren hat he chose
Dh - NFL jersey, thermal cup, Xbox game, he’s asking for a 3D printer though
GrandFIL -Amazon voucher he wants
Grandad - box of heroes as that’s all he ever asks for
