    Breville VBL249 Blender (typical price: £23)

    Breville VBL249 Blender on a green festive backdrop
  • Capacity: 600ml
  • Speed settings: one
  • We like: Watch out for: 

    This quiet blender from Breville is perfect if your partner wakes up before you to go to work or the gym. This blender is great for making small portions of protein shakes or single portions of smoothies. It also comes with an attachable top to make drinking out of the blending bottle easier. Coming in at £23, we think it's a steal.

    It can hold only 600ml though, so if you're after something that can make more than one serving at a time, it might be worth picking a different model.

    Anker SoundCore Mini 3 portable speaker (typical price: £25)

    Anker SoundCore mini 3 speaker on a purple festive background
  • 18.4 x 7.1 x 7.24cm (H x W x D)

  • Claimed speaker output: 6W
  • We like: Watch out for: 

    This budget speaker is a pretty big step up from listening to Spotify on smartphone speakers, and is small enough to be very portable. If your giftee is after a Bluetooth speaker he can take with him to a picnic or the beach, this is a great option to consider.

    It's compatible with phones, tablets and laptops that have Bluetooth. It has IPX7-rated water resistance, meaning it can shrug off a dunk in the pool. You can also daisy-chain up to 100 of these speakers at a time.

    While we don't test socks, we like these due to the company's lifetime guarantee on every pair of socks.

    If he's an outdoorsy guy, Darn Tough carries socks for activities like hiking, skiing, and running. The manufacturer claims the merino wool used is suitable for both the cold and heat.

    This electric grill is a great option if your giftee is looking to grill indoors without charcoal or gas. 

    Despite its small size, there's still a lot you can do with it, including grilling meats and veggies and toasting paninis. It's a great gift for cold winters with your at-home chef.

  • Resolution: up to 4K
  • Supports HDR
  • Small size
  • We like: Watch out for: 

    If you're buying a gift for a film buff, a 4K streamer can be a great supplement if he doesn't have a smart TV. It features apps including iPlayer, All 4, Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube and more to make sure you're covered on all fronts.

    It's among the cheapest ways to stream 4K HDR content. You can also use the micro-USB port for a wired ethernet connection in order to have more stable internet and avoid buffering.

    While there's a small remote, there's also a smartphone app you can use to control the streamer and it enables you to use voice commands too.

  • Waterproof to 5atm, meaning you can swim with it
  • We like: Watch out for: 

    If you have a partner or son who's a fitness junkie, this is a good, inexpensive fitness tracker to consider for him. It can track calories burned, workout duration, heart rate, and can keep track of activities that include running, yoga and swimming. 

    It doesn't have GPS built in though, so if he wants to track where he goes or map a route, he'll need to take his smartphone too.

  • Cable length: 3.8 metres
  • 120 x 160cm
  • We like: Watch out for: 

    This heated throw from Dreamland has six heat settings, and Dreamland claims it heats up in five minutes. It's got one of the longest cords out of the models we've tested, meaning you won't be too tethered to a socket while you're using it.

    Anker SoundCore Space A40 headphones on a blue festive backdrop
  • Wireless Bluetooth headphones
  • Three levels of noise cancelling
  • Fast-charging case
  • We like:Watch out for: 

    These wireless headphones from Anker are a great gift idea for men who love listening to music or podcasts. They're packed with features, and Anker claims that they can last up to 10 hours on a single charge – which can be expanded to 50 when using the case, depending on noise-cancelling use.

    They come with several changeable earbud tips from XS to XL, so they should be the perfect fit no matter what.

    There isn't a waterproof rating on these headphones, so you'll need to look elsewhere if he's looking to go swimming with them.

    Both the Audio-Technica needle or the whole cartridge can be replaced or undegraded. Which for a turntable under £100 is great – you won't need to buy a whole new turntable if you want to upgrade the cartridge.

    These knives from Ninja are a great gift if the man in your life loves cooking. It covers you on most fronts from a large chef's knife to a bread knife, plus smaller knives for more precision slicing and cutting. All of the knives are full-tang and are made from stainless steel.

    The integrated sharpener uses a sharpening wheel to keep your blades slicing well for years. Ninja recommends sharpening once every two weeks. Since the sharpener is an integral part of the block though, it's bigger and heavier than other knife blocks.

    Meta Quest 2 (typical price £300)

    A Meta Quest 2 on a purple festive backdrop
  • No external sensors or cameras required
  • One of the cheapest VR headsets
  • We like: Watch out for: 

    We aren't living in the metaverse yet, but you can get your techie husband or son a head start – or just a way to play video games in a new way.

    This all-in-one headset means he doesn't need to mount sensors or cameras to the living room walls, nor does he need more than £1,000 of PC components to run the games. He can still plug it into the computer using a USB-C cable if he'd like to run VR games off that instead. Plus, he can cast gameplay to a phone or TV so you can join in, watch and take turns playing.

    We haven't tested the Oculus Quest 2, but with the popularity of VR headsets on the rise – and the Meta Quest 3 due to be released – we believe that this is a great starting price for a set.

    You can buy it direct from  for £300, or compare prices below:

    Breville Barista Max+ (typical price: £350)

    A Breville Barista Max+ on a blue festive background
  • Manual espresso machine
  • 2.8-litre water tank
  • Can make two cups at a time
  • We like: Watch out for: 

    If he's a coffee lover, this is one of the ultimate gifts you can give him. It's a similar type of machine that coffee shops use, just scaled down for home use. It's also a gift to yourself too – you'll have an at-home barista slinging espressos, lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos.

    It has 30 different coffee grinding settings, and you can adjust the water temperature for the perfect cup. Clean-up shouldn't be too difficult either, as most parts are dishwasher safe.

    JBL Boombox 2 (typical price: £450)

    JBL Boombox on a blue festive background
  • Size: 36 x 49 x 20.2cm (H x W x D)
  • Weight: 5.89kg
  • Claimed speaker output: 80W
  • We like: Watch out for: 

    At the complete opposite spectrum from the Anker speaker earlier in this list, we have the JBL Boombox 2 – a massive speaker that has an output wattage more than 10 times as much as the Anker SoundCore Mini 3. 

    If money is no object, and your giftee is looking for a speaker with massive sound that he can use to get the party going, this is the speaker for him. However, it might only be good for parties: it's among the heaviest Bluetooth speakers we've tested, so you probably won't often be taking it out and about.
