An original Christmas gift for your brother or friend? Here are our tried-and-tested tips that will put a smile on anyone's face!

Have you sorted out gifts for your mum and grandma? Gift ideas for your dad and grandpa no longer a concern? Female friends and sisters also sorted? Great. Then all that’s left are gifts for those best mates and brothers of yours. But… what Christmas gifts will they truly appreciate? If there was such a thing as an extremely smart gift advisor, it would all be easy, right? When it comes to Christmas gifts for your best friend or brother, the main thing is originality!

Fresh Shave for a Sharp Look?

Of course, facial hair is a big deal for all men, younger or older. Do they shave? Cool. But choosing a gift for your best bud or brother from this category means that you have to know whether they’re into the traditional way of shaving, with a razor that is, or if they prefer a quicker and easier route using an electric shaver or trimmer. As soon as you know this, you’ll be able to choose from a wide variety of shaving essentials, often available as part of amazing gift sets or limited editions. From safety razors via cut-throat razors to shaving creams and hi-tech shavers. 

Or what if your brother or best mate is looking to speed things up and grow a sexy beard? You can pick from a range of oils, beard brushes and waxes, or he might even love receiving special tablets to support beard (and hair) growth. 

Boys & Beauty
Men who take care of themselves are no longer seen as weird. Quite the opposite, in fact! It’s those who neglect taking care of their skin who are more likely to get a few dirty looks. So what if you added the right face cream for men to the rest of your friend’s or brother’s Christmas gifts? Or a face mask? Exfoliator? If skin care is completely unknown territory for them, you can take it as an opportunity to help them face up to the challenges of the beauty world! Or you can always turn it into a bit of fun!

2in1, 3in1, 4in1? Make their life easier!
What do all men love? Simplicity. So if you know that your best friend or your wonderful brother just isn’t the type to use a different cream, shampoo, gel… for every part of his body, make his life easier by choosing “multipurpose” gifts that can be used for several things, such as a shower gel, shampoo and conditioner combo…

The Best Christmas Gift? Spicy!
When talking about Christmas gift ideas for your friend or brother (and whether or not they’re the right age), maybe you have the “balls” to gift them something a bit more… spicy? Maybe Father Christmas could help them in a more intimate manner and help them sort out their situation “down there”? This part of the body also needs taking care of. And we all know that it doesn’t get it often. It’s the type of gift that (if nothing else) will definitely be a surprise and will make Christmas a little more interesting! 

Pell-mell for Everyone!
Still not what you’re looking for? Don’t give up. You might go for a timeless classic or reach for one from the new fragrance launches of autumn 2022. It’s up to you. But don’t be afraid of it! 

If your brother or mate are into travelling, give them a proper toiletry bag that they can travel the world with. You can even gift the right supplements, something for athletes perhaps, or elixirs to support hair growth. You might be brave enough to reach for something to spice up their sex life or go in a completely different direction. Because in the end, Christmas gifts are about letting someone know that they’re important to you. 

So has Father Christmas given you a hint as to what Christmas gifts he could help you get for your best friend or your brother? We sure hope so!
