Top Birthday Gifts for Men

The best place to start when looking for a birthday gift is to pick something that is either handy, versatile or matches his personality.

Cufflinks are always a winner for someone who often has to don a suit. There are a variety to choose from; from those that are simple and classic, such as ones in a silver design, or some that are more fun to match their interests. For something more personalised, you can choose their initials or get them engraved with ‘dad’ or their name, or you could choose a pair which includes their birthstone for something extra special.

A quality wallet is another good choice. It's used daily and lasts for years —whether sleek black leather or a colourful pattern. There are some that also offer personalisation, so you could look to get it embossed with their initials or a message, especially if it’s a milestone birthday.

For the coffee lovers out there, consider a coffee machine so they can kickstart their day with an espresso. To top it off, couple it up with a barista course so they can practice the art of the froth!

If you are looking for something that you can enjoy doing together, then treat him to an experience day or plan a weekend away to somewhere new. The best way to spend a birthday is with loved ones!

Milestone Birthday Gifts for Him

Finding the perfect milestone birthday gift can be a real struggle! It’s a big deal and we tend to put enormous pressure on ourselves to get it right. No matter whether it’s your brother celebrating his 18th, a cousin hitting the big 4-0, or even your dear old dad reaching his 60, there are plenty of great ideas.

18th Birthday Gifts for Him

Turning 18 is a huge moment! It's their first big step into adulthood, and there's no going back! With so many exciting opportunities ahead, they’ll need some cool gear to help them on their journey.

Got a shoe-obsessed young man on your hands? A fresh new pair of trainers for a fresh new man could do just the trick. Trainers aren’t just shoes but a statement of personality and style.

Is he heading off to uni? A new laptop is crucial for his studies. Go for something thin, lightweight, up to date yet tough enough to withstand being tossed in a bag. Oh, that’s a thought, why not throw in a functional stylish bag to go with it? Look for one that is spacious, distributes weight evenly, and has lots of pockets.

21st Birthday Gifts For Him

For this milestone, tech is where it’s at! If you’re looking to impress a tech-obsessed man in your life, then look no further than a pair of wireless headphones. Maybe you could add in a bluetooth tracker device which can connect to them so he can always find them!

Is he more of a gaming guru? Treating him to the latest game console will certainly not disappoint, plus it shows you’ve paid attention to his interests. A smaller budget? How about a game you can play together? Whether you want to battle it out or team up for an epic quest, there’s bound to be a game out there that both of you will enjoy.

If he’s more of a bookworm, why not go with a book subscription? We bet he’ll enjoy picking out his favourite books just as much as he enjoys reading them. Or treat him to an e-reader so he can carry all his favourite books in his pocket.

30th Birthday Gifts For Him

Is he a bit of a tinkerer? Why not create a hamper filled with everything a DIY enthusiast needs to get working on a project! Start with a toolbox and then go for a selection of tools such as a hammer, a screwdriver set and a spirit level. There’ll be no excuse now not to get the job done!

Is he also a bit of a stinker too? We’re only kidding, but this might be the perfect time to celebrate a new decade with a new fragrance. Choose one that matches his style— if he’s adventurous go for something fruity and citrusy but if he’s more grounded, opt for a woody and spicy scent.

Let's face it, at 30 he's still a big kid at heart. So why not surprise him with a construction toy set featuring characters or vehicles from his favourite movie - it's a timeless gift that he can treasure forever!

40th Birthday Gifts For Him

Ah, the big four zero—the start of the mid-life milestone! At this age, it’s all about having a treat, so choose a present that appeals to the things he loves in life.

If he’s BBQ crazy and can’t resist the sizzle of the grill, then a top-notch set of BBQ utensils is a must-have. Go for a luxury set complete with case and he’ll soon be flipping those burgers like a pro.

How about a fancy whisky gift set for the whisky connoisseur? Make sure it comes with a nice crystal glass and whisky stone to keep the drinks cool without diluting the taste. The beauty of this gift is that you can tailor it to suit your budget.

What about learning a new skill? For the music aficionado in your life, nothing beats the thrill of unwrapping a new keyboard or electronic drum kit. Let’s face it, this is not just a gift—it's a gateway to a whole new realm of musical experience!

50th Birthday Gifts For Him

Celebrating 50—the 'golden jubilee'! It’s time to embrace nostalgia and choose a gift that’s all about having fun.

If he's still captivated by the skies, a flight experience with a sightseeing tour is bound to bring out his inner child. Whether it's in a vintage aircraft or a helicopter, it's also an experience you could enjoy together. Or take him on a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see the Northern Lights, or on a getaway where you can camp under the stars for a more budget-friendly trip.

For the man who still craves adventure and loves delving into the wonders of the world, a subscription to a geographic or science magazine is an excellent gift idea. It will allow him to explore far corners of the world and stay updated on the latest scientific discoveries. He can start plotting where he wants to visit. You could also help him capture all those forthcoming adventures with a luxury notebook. This way, his fun experiences and wisdom can be cherished and enjoyed for generations!

60th Birthday Gifts For Him

Turning 60? Why not set up his home with an oasis of plants, plus it’s so on trend right now. Even better, it’s proven that surrounding yourself with house plants is good for you. They’ve been shown to make us feel more positive, work better and help us to have a good night’s sleep. Don’t believe us - have a word with NASA. To truly spoil him, buy one of our plant subscription boxes and he can get a new plant pal arriving on their doorstep each month. Just select 3-, 6- or 12-month duration and we’ll do the rest.

If he’s a foodie or a wine connoisseur, then treat him to a cheese and wine set. You can choose a simple slate cheese board, or an engraved wooden one, but make sure to include the cheese knives! Finish it off with a decanter and a nice bottle of wine, then he can host his own cheese and wine tasting evenings with the family.

Gifts For Men Who Have Everything

When it comes to buying gifts for men who have everything, we feel your pain. They have hobbies but don’t need anything new. You’re fed up with buying them yet another t-shirt. You’ve wasted hours trying to find something unique. Time to think outside the box and take a new approach to their present buying.

Experience days are a great place to go. If he’s a bit of a gearhead, a drive around a famous track like Donnington or Silverstone will be an unforgettable gift.  Yep, it’s time to unleash his inner Lewis Hamilton and zoom like a pro. Slow things right down a bit and find your inner creative soul.

Consider unleashing your artistic flair with a painting session or go all metal crafting and create a new piece of artwork. You could even delve into a pottery class, throw your own vase and then buy him some gorgeous flowers to put into it! That’s right, flowers are most definitely for men and a great way to make them smile. We suggest going for blooms that he loves or choose a colour to match his home.

Beer Gifts for Men

Does he love a good pint and has dreams of having his own bar? Well, make the goal come true with a custom pub sign to jazz up his home bar or bar area of the kitchen, giving it a good old English vibe. It won't be long before he's inviting his mates over for a pint! You could even buy him a brewery tour so he can sample the beers beforehand, or get him started on making his own. Gone are the days of brewing cheap beer in your garage, now it’s all about perfecting the different undertones of each ale.

A wall-mounted bottle opener will always come in handy. While vintage styles are charming, we suggest grabbing one with a funny message. Every time he goes to open his bottle, it’s bound to make him chuckle too.

Golf Gifts For Men

If he’s absolutely golf-obsessed, a good quality golf bag is sure to be a hit. When choosing, pay special attention to the storage options. Can he fit all his clubs in? Are there different pockets to organise his accessories? Is there a dedicated spot for his water bottle?

Practice makes perfect, so why not bring his favourite hobby right to his doorstep with an indoor putting mat. Practising in the comfort of your own home is a fantastic way to improve your techniques. The next time he goes out for a game, he’ll be able to show off his newfound skills.

Lastly, treat him to a golfing day out. Whether you are buying tickets to The Open or treating him to a round on a prestigious golf course, there are some great golfing breaks that you can book as well.

Luxury Gifts For Men

Need a luxury gift that absolutely spoils that special man in your life? If they’re a football fanatic, how about a ticket to a major match like the EURO or the FA Cup/ UEFA Champions League finals? Just imagine the fun of living the real-life action, feeling the adrenaline as fellow fans roar and cheer when they score. To make the gift even more memorable, pair this up with a personalised shirt to wear on the day with his name and lucky number. You don’t have to limit this to football either. This idea can work for other sports, like tickets to Wimbledon for a tennis buff or even an NBA ticket for a basketball enthusiast.

Is he always on the go, working tirelessly for the family? Treat him to a spa day or a weekend escape in a luxury cabin. It’s the perfect way to unwind and spend some special time together. Or get a chef to come and cook his favourite meal at your home and finish it off with a wine or whiskey tasting.

Unique Birthday Gifts for Him

Still stuck for ideas? It’s time to go totally unique.

A foldable pool table is a fun place to start. Whether he's practising going pro or just wants to challenge friends and family to a friendly game, this gift is sure to impress and provide hours of entertainment!

Go personalised! At first glance a t-shirt isn’t that unusual, but you could shake it up by getting something unique printed on it. You could go with a special message or maybe a design that really means something such as a vintage car if he’s a car enthusiast. Maybe he’s into his music, so why not get a scoresheet printed and framed with his favourite song. The choices are endless.

If you’re not sure what he likes but want something really out of the box. How about gifting him the opportunity to name a star after them? This normally comes with a real-time planetarium too, which allows you to view the precise location of the star!

Small Gifts for Men

Who says men don't appreciate sentimental gifts? A personalised piece of jewellery such as a ring can really mean a lot. You could either go for a design that reflects his background or simply made from his favourite material.

Another small gift can be getting him a nice mug or bottle to encourage him to stay hydrated. Go for a brand that offers vacuum insulation and it’ll keep his water cool for hours. Nowadays, there are plenty of styles and designs to choose from, some even come with reusable straws.

To end it off, a classic leather wash bag can never disappoint. He’ll be able to travel with ease with all his toiletries neatly organised in one place. Yup, that means no more mixing all his stuff in the suitcase.
