Whether it’s your other half or your dear ol’ dad, your work Secret Santa or your dearest friend, here are some gifting options that are guaranteed to go down well.

Are you feeling the stress of last minute Christmas shopping? Panicked Google searches, and frantic trips around town are par for the course at this time of year, but we’re here to help make things that little bit easier with this all encompassing gift guide for him.

From the old reliables to more niche items that will really show them you know them, we’ve rounded up a selection of IMAGE favourites that are sure to bring a smile to his face this year.

Whether they’re a whiskey fanatic or a Guinness connoisseur, a caffeine fiend or a fan of kombucha, we’ve got some terrific options from Irish owned and operated businesses, because the more you can shop local at Christmas time, the better.

Socks and tote bags, books, posters and prints are a brilliant way to add that little bit of personality to any gift. With bespoke designs or a special reference to some of their very favourite things, Christmas is all about spreading as much happiness as humanly possible, and these bits and pieces will do exactly that.

We’ve put together a guide that includes something for every budget, for every one. Shop our edit of Christmas gifts for the men in your life below…
