Replace his old earbuds for these top-of-the-range earphones from reputable brand Bang & Olufsen. With a truly immersive sound, thanks to the active noise-canceling technology that recognizes the level of background noise and regulates itself accordingly, these will let your other half listen to his favorite music or podcasts in peace. We love the 'Transparency mode' feature of these earphones that lets you tune into what's going on around you if you need to. They also have six microphones for clear calls, can be charged wirelessly, are ergonomically shaped with interchangeable ear tips, and feature a sweat-resistant coating for soundtracking even the most intense of workouts.
This entry-level DSLR will make a great gift for any keen photographer who wants to step up from their smartphone. It has a whole host of settings and shooting modes for your husband to play around with and a movie mode if you want to capture videos. While this might be on the higher end of your Christmas gift budget, for a DLSR camera this is a steal—especially for the quality and performance that you get. This would also make a lovely Christmas gift for parents who want to try and capture family life or are planning their next big adventure.
Say goodbye to the stress of constantly searching for one missing airpod.

They have a built-in microphone so that you can talk on the phone using them too, negating the need for a set of headphones.
A good knife is one of the ultimate kitchen essentials for any keen chef, so if you and your other half are constantly arguing over who gets to use the best knife in the drawer, how about gifting him his own?. Of course, knives specialist Global would be the perfect place to do this, with their top-quality tools that are used by professionals the world over. This general Chef's knife is a great does-it-all knife that your husband won't be able to live without after he starts using it.

With a delicate nutty flavor to the coffee that has been layered underneath the whiskey flavoring, it's a win-win for anyone who loves an Irish coffee but wants it to be suitable for an 8 a.m. cup.
Himalayan salt plates are one of those curious kitchen instruments that always seem to make at least one appearance on each season of a cooking show.

This Salthouse & Peppermongers version is a great pick, as it's big enough to hold a platter of different foods and also comes with a tray to protect your table and your food and enable you to carry it around and serve easily.

When looking for Christmas gifts for dads, husbands, or pretty much any male in your life, most of the time you'll be guaranteed to put a smile on their face with a quality cut of meat.
