It isn’t easy to get inside a man’s head to figure out what he wants for Christmas. We wrangled the wish lists out of a couple of dozen men with a variety of interests to find out what is hot and what is not this gift-giving season. Here are some of the most requested gifts for him to help you out with your Christmas shopping.
Amazon Gift Voucher
An easy and appreciated gift
A gift voucher is a perfect gift for anyone because it lets them choose exactly what they want off their wishlist. This Amazon gift card comes loaded with the amount you want to give - between £10 and £1,000 - and an envelope to make it easier to give. This gift card can be sent to family and friends that aren’t close by or slipped into a stocking. You can choose between three different coloured cards and matching envelopes, so if you want to give more than one voucher you can choose one that matches the personality of everyone on your list.
Apple Watch Series 7
More than just a watch
The Series 7 Apple Watch has everything. It syncs with iPhones so you can send and receive messages quickly. It also has a GPS tracking system which is great while traveling, but also for keeping track of fitness metrics. This Apple Watch has both blood oxygen and ECG trackers and it will remind you to breathe or to seek help for irregular heart rhythms. It has fall detection and can be programmed to notify family members or emergency personnel to help.
Einhell Compressor TC-AC 190/24/8
The ultimate power tool
The Einhell air compressor features a 24 litre air tank and has an output of 115 psi. It has a pressure gauge and is fully automatic. It is compatible with air tools, like nail guns and sanders, but can also be used to fill tyres on both cars and bicycles. The Einhell compressor includes several safety features including a pressure regulator and safety valve. This air compressor is on two wheels and has a sturdy handle to make it easier to move into place.
GoPro Hero7
Live stream your adventures
This action camcorder can be held or mounted to a tripod, helmet or bicycle handlebars to capture every moment of your outdoor adventure. It is compact, just a little bigger than a large paperclip, and features video stabilization, so even if you’re going over rough terrain, the GoPro will capture it smoothly. It is also waterproof. This GoPro Hero7 taps into social media pages and lets you live stream for your followers. The hard case keeps the camera safe if dropped.
Coleman Darwin Dome Tent
Lightweight and roomy
For the guys that love the outdoors, check out the Darwin dome-style tent by Coleman. It is lightweight and stores away tightly so it’s easy to carry while hiking. The fiberglass poles hold up against strong winds and the material used to construct the walls, roof and floor are both bug and waterproof. This tent has a single room that will comfortably fit three adults. It also has a vestibule for storing equipment, including large suitcases. There are also plenty of mesh pockets for storing smaller items like keys, cell phones, and flashlights.
Lezyne Zecto Drive LED Handlebar Flashlight
Lighting the way
A handlebar-mounted flashlight is a great gift for cyclists and this Lezyne Zecto Drive is top-notch. This LED flashlight features 250 lumens and 3 LED lights to give you a bright light to both help motorists see you and to light the road in front of you. It is made from aluminum alloy and coated with a finish that makes the entire light water-resistant, so it will keep working in rain without a problem. It attaches securely to most bicycle handlebars tightly enough you don’t have to work about it moving or becoming loose. The Zecto Drive LED light has a decent battery life, too.
FM London’s Hyfresh Zipped Hoodie
Soft, warm and odor resistant
You can’t go wrong with a hoodie and the FM London Hyfresh hoodies combine comfort and style. Made from cotton and polyester the inside of each hoodie is lined with fleece. FM London uses Hyfresh technology to keep odor-causing bacteria at bay, so you stay fresh all day long. This zipped hoodie has deep pockets and a collared design. It comes in four colours and is machine washable.

If you’re finding it hard to pick out the perfect gift, think about giving them an Amazon gift voucher. This lets you man pick out the gift he really wants while also letting him know you’d thought about him. You can decide how much to gift - any amount between £10 and £1,000.
Most guys have power tools on their wish list. Skip the cordless drill - they’re a safe go-to - and instead look at an air compressor, like the Einhell TC-AC 190/24/8. This 24 Litre compressor is much more versatile and can be used for large construction and cleanup jobs to small jobs like filling low tyres. It is not a gift most think to give, though it is one men are excited to unwrap.
Another good gift idea is the Apple Watch Series 7. This watch not only tells time, but it keeps track of your health. It monitors your oxygen and heart rate levels and will remind you to breathe deep or seek help. It also has fall detection and will alert family or emergency personnel that you need assistance. The GPS tracker and pedometer keeps track of your steps and where you’ve traveled during a workout, as well as helps give you directions while driving
