15 Christmas Gift Ideas for Him Under £30

Christmas and the holiday season is upon us and with it comes the need to buy our male loved ones unique gifts (and not just the same old sock set, right?).

However, this year more than ever, it helps if these gifts are more affordable.

Whether you’re treating your partner, brother, father or another special man in your life, I’ve got you covered. Here are 15 Christmas gift ideas for him that won’t break the bank.

1. M&S Pure Cotton Supersoft Checked Pyjama Set

Firstly, you can’t go wrong with gifting a pair of men’s pyjamas. These ones from M&S* are 100% cotton and regular fit, which means they’re soft and comfortable for a good night’s sleep.

And they’re only £30, which is decent considering that you can wash pure cotton over and over and it will never bobble or lose its shape.

2. Champneys Gym Essentials

If your gift recipient loves the gym or working out in general, these recovery essentials* are designed to help him rest and re-energise.

Featuring a charcoal soap, body spray, bath soak, face wash, hair and body wash and a smart holdall bag to put everything in, this bargain is currently on sale for £24.50.

3. Cottage Delight Thirsty Gardener Craft Beer Set

Does the male in your life love beer (let’s face it, which man doesn’t)? This craft beer set has fun packaging that will make him smile and keep him happy for a while.

And for only £13, it’s not too pricey!

4. H&M Patterned Scarf

A scarf is the perfect present for the colder months, and what better option than this H&M checked version*?

Available in two colourways, it’s cheap at £12.50 yet expensive-looking — and you can pick one up next time you’re browsing H&M for yourself (hehe).

5. M&S Eau De Toilette Gift Set

M&S always have gorgeous-smelling aftershaves (my husband Nathan swears by them!) so I’m sure this set of 3* is no exception.

It includes warming Spiced Amber, revitalising Cool Vetiver and earthy Spiced Wood in a cute presentation box for £12.50.

Ideal for your partner, this adorable mug* from John Lewis will be a cute yet classy addition to your mug cupboard.

Only £7 and made of fine china, it’s also safe to put in the microwave for heating up drinks.

7. M&S Checked Mule Slippers with Freshfeet™

Slippers are an essential around the house, especially when it’s cold outside and your feet need to be kept extra warm. These M&S beauties* have a luxurious-looking check pattern and fluffy lining to get the job done.

For just £20, they even use Freshfeet™ technology which keeps them smelling good.

8. Etsy Personalised Men’s Cosy Bath Robe

There are various designs for if he wants to mix it up — or he could wear all five simultaneously for an effortlessly cool look.

12. M&S Leather Gloves with Thermowarmth™

They’re fully lined and made with Thermowarmth™ technology for a cosy yet lightweight feel.
