What can I buy a man for £20

  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".

I also thought the title said Where rather than what
I was going to offer DH

A brilliant game called Genius Square (available online).

ScribblingPixie · 16/12/2020 20:32

Bamboo socks.

SingleWontMingle · 16/12/2020 20:35

Anything with hemp in: coffee, toothpaste.

Weed?

Name a star
Buy him a tree
Selection of essential oils
One of those big crackling candles that sounds like a log fire, the name escapes me!

That cool book "Entangled Life" How fungi shapes our world.

I thought my DS (20yrs) was joking when he asked for it for his birthday but he loved it.

AnnieKennyfanclub · 16/12/2020 20:45

Finesterre woollen socks...

HipHipHooray7 · 16/12/2020 20:47

A nice V60 coffee dripper and your fave bag of beans?

Mmn654123 · 16/12/2020 20:48

I read that as ‘where’......

Belledan1 · 16/12/2020 20:49

A little hamper with scratch card in. Vegan chocolate. Magazine of interest. Bottle beer.

Serin · 16/12/2020 20:49

Other ideas:
Seeds and a planter.
Bird food
Wax wraps
Yoga pants/mat.
Hat/scarf or mittens.
Badger slippers from Fat face (do not contain badgers)
Chilli sauce.
Jams/peanut butter/marmite.
GCHQ puzzle book.
Satin pillow case.

A nice art print in a frame (you would have to know him though)

But I would go for a bottle of alcohol of beanie hat or t shirt

BertieBotts · 16/12/2020 20:53

I'm not taking the piss, but DH genuinely loves bath stuff and candles. He's always disappointed with the "token man gifts" and usually ends up taking all of mine :o

SummerWhisper · 16/12/2020 20:56

Do him a food and body hamper...buy the basket from a charity shop, stuff it with little but nice things: chocolates, wine, crisps, almond milk, vegan cheese, crackers etc. Most of the supermarkets have excellent vegan ranges.

Zoflorabore · 16/12/2020 21:03

I’ve also just read it as “where can I buy a man for £20?” I need sleep Grin

Zoflorabore · 16/12/2020 21:04

Lush is very vegan conscious.

PinkPanther27 · 16/12/2020 21:39

2 tickets to Vegan Campout for next year- probably over budget though.
If you buy him a ceramic etc there are loads of small vegan ethical shops on Facebook.
Booja Booja chocolates or a cheese hamper from Tyne and Wear
A couple of people mentioned woollen things- they're not vegan unfortunately 🙂

Kumquatsquash · 16/12/2020 21:44

Another one who read it as 'Where can I buy a man for £20" 😂

I got even more confused when I read the list of requirements. Arty, hipster vegans are usually quite high maintenance in my experience so would cost a fair bit more. You could probably get a white van man for 20 quid though.

OverByYer · 16/12/2020 21:47

I thought the thread title was ‘ Where can I buy a man for £20’

ShoppingBasket · 16/12/2020 21:49

Vegan leather manbag

NoIDontWatchLoveIsland · 16/12/2020 21:51

A grape vine plant (£13.99, I went for pinot noir) and a book on how to grow & make your own wine

impostersyndrome · 16/12/2020 21:54

Hodmedod’s pulses, lentils, etc hodmedods.co.uk/collections/bundles-and-boxes or Spice Tailor kit www.thespicetailor.co.uk/

Cheesypea · 16/12/2020 21:55

Jewellery?

listsandbudgets · 16/12/2020 21:55

I've found some inspiration from ohdeer.com this year. Maybe worth a look?

Another one who thought is said where can I buy a man for £20!
