What NOT to get your boyfriend for Christmas!?!

With every advert screaming they have found the perfect gift for your loved one this Christmas, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with the choice of presents available. I could sit here and write a list as long as my arm of gift ideas to buy your boyfriend this Christmas, but as everyone is different – unfortunately there is no magic one size fits all option!?!

In the end, I decided it would be easier to make a list of what NOT to get your boyfriend this Christmas instead - so take a sneaky peak at the list below and make sure you haven’t committed one of the heinous crimes that is the duff present!?!?


1. Firstly, avoid at all costs the teddy bear or stuffed creature holding a giant red heart – in fact avoid anything with a heart on it just to be on the safe side!?!

2. Never be tempted by a scented candle. It may well be true that it will enhance the ambience of his room and provide a pleasant smell to cover up the odour of his sweaty gym socks that are stashed under his bed, but believe me – he will not thank you for a candle!!!

3. Stay away from the lure of the sock while you’re out Christmas shopping too, and leave this type of practical gift to his mum or sister!!!

4. We all know that most men could benefit from using some kind of skincare lotion or potion. Unfortunately 99% of the male population still seem to be in denial over facial care products, so buying him an expensive gift set is more than likely just going to be a waste of money!!!

5. If you decide to treat your boyfriend to a supporters gift pack or an all expenses paid trip to see his favourite football team play – make sure you check your facts first!?!?! Manchester United and Manchester City may sound similar, but all hell will break lose if you get them the wrong way round!?!?

6. There is nothing worse or more useless than Christmas novelty clothing!!! Take Christmas socks for example – you can only wear them for one week of the year and so each pair ends up lasting for years until you end up with a whole drawer full of them!!!


Christmas shopping for your man needn’t be a chore if you know where to look – the trick is to try and find something that the masses haven’t all nipped out to buy during their lunch hour!?!
