Culture vulture or appreciator of little luxuries, we’ve combed through fashion, wellness, art, accessories and homewares to create a wishlist for the men on your list that is sure to deliver delight

Ah, men. Endlessly tricky to buy for, yet eager as puppies to unwrap the presents under the tree come the big day (just ours?). Finding just the right Christmas gift for a man can feel like a seasonal puzzle. Too practical, and it risks being joyless; too whimsical, and it gathers dust by January.

To take the agonising out of the annual endeavour, we’ve scoured the high street and our favourite indie shops to whittle down our best buys for the menfolk. This year’s edit strikes the balance: think enduring knitwear, finely crafted accoutrements for grooming, artful objects for the home, and accessories that bring joy to the everyday. Here, then, are fifty bright ideas for presents that speak to craft, character and a dash of luxury.
