The Ultimate Gift Guide to Suit Every Bloke’s Taste

Buying for guys seems to be notoriously difficult – so it’s time to start getting creative with presents. No doubt the bloke in your life has excellent taste, so the same old socks and ties is probably not going to cut it this year. Still shopping for him never seems to get easier.

But he deserves to be spoilt and shown just how much you appreciate him – through something a little more exciting than another voucher or pair of socks! Just because guys are hard to buy for, it doesn’t mean the man in your life doesn’t deserve something incredible. Whether it be your partner, dad, best friend or brother we compile the best gift ideas to suit all tastes and budgets.

1. For the Old School Bloke

Is the guy in your life a bit old school? Is he struggling to get with the times? Get him back in the groove with a retro-style turntable! Now vinyl is back in the cool books you can treat him to the latest turntable (still with a touch of vintage, of course).

Crosley’s retro-style turntables are all the talk at the moment or for something more durable check out the GPO UK Attaché Case Turntable which comes with its own speaker system too. Throw in a few classic records to add to his collection or something more modern – if he’s into it – and he’ll be able to sit back and enjoy with a glass of whiskey. Complete the gift with a good set of headphones too, just in case he’s music taste doesn’t fit with everyone else’s in the house!

2. All About Convenience

If he thrives on organisation and practicality then you need a gift that makes his busy days easier and adds value to his life. A new coffee machine for those rushed mornings can do the trick or a convenient BBQ bag kit that’s packed and ready to go for his next cook out.

Blokes that are all about practicality tend to spend a lot of time in their sheds organising and rearranging. If his shed is loaded with sports gear, golf clubs and tools then what about getting him a golf bag organiser to keep his storage space looking good? Perfect for keeping everything safe and secure (and looking fantastic on display too!).

3. Food, Beer and Sports

If there’s one way to make a man happy it’s through food, beer and sports. Spend some quality time with the guy in your life for his special day and shout him some tickets to his favourite sports game (with a few beers, of course) or opt for a hamper that’s loaded with tasty snacks, beers and other beverages.

For guys that enjoy quality time in the kitchen or outside with the BBQ, consider a man food cookbook he can unleash his inner master chef. You can top it off with a beer making kit for those Sunday afternoons or treat him to a coffee, whiskey, beer or wine masterclass where he’ll leave feeling like a true champ!

4. For the Adventurous Bloke

Perhaps he is pretty cool and an adrenalin junkie always on the hunt for a new adventure. A skydiving ticket can really give him something to talk about this Father’s Day or a rally car lap drive, rock climbing adventure or paintballing with friends and family.

Get lost – in a good way – with a camping trip for the weekend either with the family or just the two of you. You don’t need to make a big expedition of the trip, just get out somewhere new and make sure the whole thing is arranged and ready to go for him. Complete the camping trip with a rafting adventure or a fishing mission you’ll know he’ll get a kick out of.

5. Getting TECHnical

Is the bloke in your life is always on his phone or laptop and interested in the latest gadgets? Spoil him with a super convenient lapdesk that comes complete with a light – ideal for blokes on the go that like to jump onto the computer waiting for the kids to finish up sports or work at the local coffee shop. FitBits are all the craze now too and perfect for the tech junkie that likes to stay fit or compete with mates for the ultimate fitness level or go for an Apple Sport Watch if you’re wanting something a little snazzier.

Those guys that do have a love affair with their BBQ’s would love the latest Grillbot robot grill cleaner. Working similar to the robot vacuum cleaners, you can find them for around $130. Not only do they make life easier for him at the push of a button, but it’ll give him more time for cooking and relaxing with a beer – perfect for any special occasion or weekend!
