The men in our life are the ones who look after us, provide for us, and love us – whether this is your boyfriend, husband, Dad, Father-in-law, Brother or Grandfather. So at Christmas you want to show him just how much he means to you. A present can be your way of saying thank you for all the little things he has done for you over the year, but the tricky part is working out what to get him. We have put together a list to suit all budgets and hopefully help you find that extra special gift just for him.
Star Wars Blue Ray Box Set
I don’t think that I’ve ever come across a man who didn’t hold a soft spot for ‘Star Wars’ and this special edition available exclusively from HMV is sure to bring a big smile to his face. With 9 discs containing all 6 films in High Definition for the first time and audio commentary with George Lucas you’d think that would be enough. But no! This special edition has gone one better and includes deleted scenes, interviews pulled from the archives with the original cast, documentaries, and concept art. If you buy from HMV you will also receive an exclusive 35mm film frame which has been reproduced from the original footage and printed onto high quality paper. These frames are so rare that they are actually numbered. ” target=”_blank”>A fantastic gift.Stanley Kubrick: Visionary Filmmaker Collection on Blu-Ray
If by chance you’re buying for possibly the only man on the planet who doesn’t like Star Wars then check out this Stanley Kubrick box set available for the first time on Blu-Ray instead. Containing 7 classic movies from the master of films-that-make-your-skin-crawl as well as an exclusive bonus disc and booklet outlining the director’s original ideas, this collection is a must-have. Films included are Eyes Wide Shut, Clockwork Orange, Lolita, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket and Barry Lyndon.iPad 2
It isn’t much of a secret around these parts that I’m a bit of an iPad and iPhone enthusiast so I couldn’t exactly leave this off the list, could I? With all the features of the iPhone 4s and more, this is the perfect gift. 10 hours of battery life enable you to play with your apps for longer, there are two cameras for face time video calling, and iOS 5 and iCloud come as standard. Video recording and HD playback put this tablet into a league all of its own. The best thing of all? If you buy him this you can play with it too!Sony HDR-TD10E 3D camcorder
If you’ve ever heard him raving about 3D films and wishing that he could do it himself then this is the perfect present to buy him. This Sony Camcorder enables you to shoot stunning HD 3D film at just the push of a button. You can also revert to 2D at any time to catch those special moments. With 10x optical zoom and up to 7 megapixel still photo capability this is a great all rounder.Samsung PS43D490 43-inch Widescreen HD Ready 3D Plasma TV with Freeview
What will be on every man’s wish list without fail? A wide screen, HD Ready TV. So here is our favourite! At 43 inches he will love this. HD and 3D Ready, this really does give you great value for your money and ensures that you’ll be getting the best out of your TV at all times.

So you may not have the Armani man, but your man can have ” target=”_blank”>the Armani watch. (It is a good thing really, try not to be too disappointed). This sleek, superslim watch is so sexy and will look great on any man. With round grey dial imprinted with Roman Numerals and high quality leather watch strap you’ll be hard pushed trying to find a sleeker watch on the market. For something this smooth you’d normally be paying well over £1000 so you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the price… Johnnie Walker Blue Label Whisky
For the whiskey drinker in your life I am reliably informed that you can’t get much better than Johnnie Walker Blue Label without paying eye-watering amounts for it. This is one of the super-premium blend whiskeys and is so smooth going down that it doesn’t even have the burn you normally associate with whiskey! It has been specially blended to recreate some of the earliest whiskey blends on record. The packaging is beautiful in itself – each glass bottle has a serial number and comes presented in a blue, silk lined box. This is the height of luxury.Event tickets
If your budget doesn’t quite stretch that far then why not treat him to event tickets? By buying him a Ticketmaster voucher for a certain amount he can choose what he would like to do for himself – meaning that if he favours opera over heavy metal or comedy over pantomimes then he has a range of choices available to him. Alternatively, why not join him and buy two tickets for a night of comedy at Jongleurs? I’ve been a few times and have never once heard a bad comedian. This is great for fans of comedy who want to get involved. Just don’t sit in the front row if you don’t want to be picked on!
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
We aren’t really gamers in our house but even we sat up when COD MW3 was announced. The sequel to the award winning first-person shooter COD MW2, this has enhanced missions, clearer graphics, and access to ‘Elite’ the new subscription based service for multi player gaming. Details were very closely guarded until its release on the 8th November but rumours suggest that this will be shoe-in for gaming awards. Available for X-Box 360, PS3, PC and Nintendo Wii.
