18 of the best gifts for men this Christmas

Upgrade his morning shower routine with this brilliant gift set, which includes two full-size shower gels in Molton Brown's 'Flame Tree & Pimento' and 'Invigorating Suma Ginseng' fragrances.

This might have to be one of the coolest air quality monitors I have ever seen! No more ugly, bulky appliances taking unnecessary space in your living room or bedroom. The story behind this design is fascinating and so it goes that around 1911, miners started carrying canaries into the coal mines to detect toxic air. When the bird fainted, it was time to get out of the mine. This follows a similar concept - with a built-in CO₂-sensor, Birdie works the same way - but as design decor in your home.

When air quality is poor Birdie will drop down until you open your windows. Once the air quality is back up to scratch, it will go back up! It's a very simple yet understated design and we think it would make such a wonderful gift for those interested in fun techy gifts, while adding quirky decor to the home.

For the ultimate whisky lover, Danish brand Stauning make some beautiful bottles of dram that are worthy of celebrating with over the Christmas period. This particular bottle labelled HØST (which translates to 'harvest'), is a magnificent blend of rye malt whisky and single malt, and tastes of vanilla, toffee, apple and red berries.

A real treat for the cheese fiends, this set arrives in a smart presentation box. It includes a bottle of delicious (and, of course, perfectly paired) Malbec as well as a jar of quince.

Keep his toes toasty with these cosy slippers, which are made from suede and faux-fur. The cork base means they can also be worn outside for short periods of time.
