Best Christmas gifts for husbands

Tech gifts

Treat your husband to the newest iPhone, which comes with an enhanced camera (Apple's biggest ever camera upgrade in fact), extended battery life and a sleek design that's available in four different colors. A much coveted item for Christmas 2021, expect this phone to be at the top of lists for Christmas gifts for teenagers and kids too.

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-cancelling technology that recognises the level of background noise and regulates itself accordingly, these will let your other half listen to his favourite 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 photographers who want 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 for 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. Hailing from Bose, one of the leading audio and speaker brands, these sunglasses are also headphones and use open-ear audio to play audio back to you without sitting inside your ear. 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. 

Food & drink gifts

A good knife is one of the ultimate kitchen essentials for any keen chef, so if you and your other other half are constantly arguing over who gets to use the best knife in the drawer, how about gifting him his own?.

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.

There are always new coffee trends to jump on and sometimes they can be a bit hit and miss. But flavored coffee is one that has stood the test of time and makes for a great Christmas food gift for those who are open-minded about discovering new flavours. 

For anyone who loves whiskey, this flavored coffee that hails from Scotland will be a welcome drink in the morning (it's non-alcoholic of course). 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 8am 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. But they're actually worth trying out if you're a whizz in the kitchen. Grill some meats, fish or vegetables and serve them on here for a delicious and oh so simple, but very impressive, dinner. 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. But we've also listed a selection of others products on the market so that you can choose the best one for your needs.
