He’s sooo hard to buy for.  I always struggle as my husband’s birthday in on the 20th December and Christmas is 5 days later. I have to come up with two presents. I compiled this unique Gift Guide For Him to help other wives, daughters, sisters and women buying gifts for men. Men seem to love obscure things and are so hard to read their reactions. When asked what would they want for Christmas, he says, “nothing, just a kiss”, “I don’t need anything”. So that leaves you with no clues, nada, zip ideas. Of course I can’t listen to this, as he cannot be the only one without a gift under the tree. So I buy socks or undies. They always need them.

But no! Not this year! This year I’ve compiled the ultimate gift guide for him, gifts that he’ll actually like and might even use. Whether your him is a grandpa, dad, son or grandson, I’ve tried to cover all bases. Whether that’s a piece of tech, Aboriginal Flag Mugs or anything else! There’s bound to be something he’ll love listed below!

Afternoons with Albert, Cord Roll

This is going to my husband for his birthday. He can take this on photoshoots for his personal cords. Stop trying to find for those little cords and things that matter most in man satchel. With rugged charm and a soft spot for keeping you organised, The Cord Roll has your technology spaghetti covered. Put the fun in functionality and harness your things and roll them up, never to be lost again.  Keep your friends close, but your Cord Roll closer.

SUKIN FOR MEN ULTIMATE FACE KIT

The Sukin Ultimate Face Kit for Men provides an easy three-step regime that’s not too complicated for him (men won’t use it otherwise) with big chunky bottles, as men as a rule, tend to us way too much product. It is made from a mix of Tasmanian Pepper, Sesame Oil and Baobab which leaves the skin clean and hydrated. Men won’t do more steps that this, and the containers are big, so they can use oodles of product, in the way that men apply product. I’d say on overage, men use twice as much product as women, so putting a larger quantity (even diluted – which I don’t think Sukin have done here) in big pump bottles is clever. The product is not FMCG branding. It is stylish black so will look stylish in the bathroom.

The gift boxed set includes:

• SHAVING GEL
• FACIAL CLEANSER
• FACIAL MOISTURISER

The Sukin Ultimate Face Kit for Men is suitable for all skin types, so it would suit any man in the family from 15 – 80 and comes in a great box, that’s easy to wrap and looks substantial and is only $27.95. That’s less than $10 per product. Great value product for a gift.

Book for Early Readers: ‘Pointy Pembleton Visits the Dog Park’

While this is suitable for both genders, I think little boys would love and identify with Pointy Pembleton rescued greyhound.

This delightful picture book features the gregarious greyhound hero Pointy Pembleton on his first visit to the dog park. The story explores themes of diversity and inclusion as Pointy Pempleton navigates his way through the sometimes tricky process of making new friends.

A full colour, high quality, hardcover picture book, “Pointy Pempleton Visits The Dog Park” is filled with whimsical watercolour illustrations and a charming story written in child-friendly rhyme.

$5 from every book sold goes to Greyhound Rescue to help with costs associated with rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing of greyhounds.

Note: Pointy Pempleton went to the girls of the family upstairs, who have a whippet and the littlest girl and the son are obsessed with it!
