Men are notoriously hard to buy presents for. Either they just get what they want themselves, or they don’t give you a list of things you could put under the tree. 

As frustrating as it is, there are loads of gifts you could buy – it just takes a bit more work. To get you started, we’ve picked our favourite things that may suit the men in your life – all under 50 quid. Christmas is expensive, after all. 

From fashion to travel, this guide will hopefully make shopping for your friend, partner, uncle, dad, or brother a little bit easier.
