What can I buy a man for £20

69 replies

  1. Hipstery type. Vegan. Arty. £20 budget.

What are you buying your millennial men? I need some inspiration!

Is it me or are gifts for men harder on a budget?!

I can think of loads of small things I would buy a woman but with men my mind gets stuck on "book".

Booze?

teaandcake22 · 16/12/2020 19:41

There are loads of good vegan cook books out.

buzzandwoodyallday · 16/12/2020 19:41

Beard oil/beard shampoo?

ScalpHelp · 16/12/2020 19:45

Vegan cookbook (genuinely, there’s amazing ones! Try Amazon)

Art book - these do tend to be more expensive than £20 but it depends on what field of art he likes. Doubles up as home decor

Plants

Gift card for ikea or his fave shop

Apple Watch straps or charging dock (if he has one)

Vegan skincare/hair care

ScalpHelp · 16/12/2020 19:46

You can’t really go wrong with a good gift card either, Selfridges so he can put it towards something special he has his eye on? Or his favourite retailer. John Lewis is a safe bet.

Tofupress
BOSH Cook book
Beard kit (if he has a beard) Make him a food hampoer personalised to what he likes

A decent powerbank/ Good moisturiser (vegan brand)/ vinyl (Sainsbury's doing classic vinyl for £20-22)/ long, cotton scarf (v hipster)/ go to Typo and buy hipster stationery.

Norwester · 16/12/2020 19:57

Bosh cookbook or green roasting tin cookbook with a ceramic dish.

A plant/succulent

MotherWol · 16/12/2020 20:03

Gift card for an art supplies store (like London Graphics Centre/Cowling & Wilcox)
nice print or gift card from Desenio
craft beers (if he's a drinker)
woolly hat/gloves (Arket or H&M)
anything from Labour & Wait
an enamel mug from Arthur Beale and some coffee to drink out of it

AldiAisleofCrap · 16/12/2020 20:04

I read that as where not what @CutToChase

CutToChase · 16/12/2020 20:09

@AldiAisleofCrap
😂 Aldi man whores!

These are great ideas, I really wanted to stay away from books because I've done that to death - but something ceramic, maybe a handmade mug or ashtray, vegan skincare, plants... All great ideas. Sadly his beard isnt anything to be oiling (not that I'd tell him that!).

Strangedayindeed · 16/12/2020 20:21

Look on Etsy they have cool hampers (vegan ones) for £20 and under

Kissthepastrychef · 16/12/2020 20:23

I misread the title and thought you posted "where can I buy a man for £20 ?"

I have to say the reality of the thread was a disappointment 😂

JamesMoriarty · 16/12/2020 20:23

I had to get a gift for someone very similar - I went with vegan hot chocolate bombs and a travel mug.

SingleWontMingle · 16/12/2020 20:24

@AdaColeman A lot of lentils.

Beat me to it!

A bamboo toothbrush.
