Keeping Santa Trim: Yummy Christmas Gifts For Him | Christmas Gifts for Him from GettingPersonal.co.uk

17 November 2009

Ever feel like your man is Santa Claus? Does he like his drink and mince pies and a kiss under the mistletoe? Is he often mowing the lawn during the summer months only for the grass to miraculously vanish? He's probably feeding it to his reindeers. This is an article all about getting Christmas gifts for him! The man in your life, your very own Mr Christmas!

Scrummy Presents

There's a reason that as children we were always told to leave a snack out for Santa and this directly correlates to the size of his belly. In our house, it was a glass of milk and a mince pie for Father Christmas and a Carrot for Rudolph but every family seemed to leave Father Christmas a different treat. If your Father Christmas likes to eat plenty of treats during the festive season Christmas gifts for him should reflect that and be full of sugary delight. Let him know how delicious he is by getting Christmas gifts for him that are utterly mouth watering.

If your man is always ordering a take away pizza we think that he'll love the Chocoholics Pizza, it's a pizza made totally and completely out of chocolate and sweeties, the topic which varies sometimes comprises jelly beans and white chocolate flakes and the pizza-shaped slab of real, top quality chocolate comes presented in a clever take away style box so that he'll think you got him take-away until he lifts the lid and gets a nice surprise.

Other wonderful Christmas gifts for him could include a Haribo Sweet Hamper, full of his favourite Haribo sweets, because 'kids and grown-ups love it so' or what about some baked goodies, like muffins and chocolate brownies and shortbread packed in to a special festive hamper from Dough Dough a company that specialises in sending joy-filled cakes to people all over the UK?

Delicious Drinks

In my friend's house Santa didn't get the milk and a mince pie that he got in my house, he got some shortbread and some good Scotch because she was Scottish. As such, I've always been a firm believer that Santa was very fond of a tipple. With that in mind, we've got a few ideas for great Christmas gifts for him that might get him a little bit merry.

One of our favourite Christmas drinks is port and a Vintage Warre's Port Gift Box is a great gift, they're £50 each but they come beautifully presented and you can include a handwritten gift card and have them sent directly to the man of your dreams wherever he might be. If that's not up his street what about a bottle of personalised lowland whisky, you can add a heartfelt message to the label and even add a special wooden presentation box to give it to him in style.

For a wine and champagne lover you can't really beat a Champagne and Wine gift though and it's even better if you can get it personalised. There's a silk lined wooden presentation box and on the front is a plaque with a special message engraved on it from him to you, then, when he opens the box he's greeted with a luxury bottle of JP Marniquet NV Champagne and a bottle of Chateau Meyne Vieil, Red Bordeaux. If he loves wine then he could be dumb struck, there's even some tasting notes included and you can write whatever you like on the engraved plaque!

Reindeer Games

If your man is still just a big kid at heart (and let's face it, most are) then Christmas gifts for him should appeal to his silly and childish nature and be fun to play with! That's why we love games for grown-ups. A Madness fan would have to play Suggs' 80s Quiz night Board game, it's a must for anyone who loves 80s music and trivia and its great fun for everyone to play at Christmas too so it could hit all the right buttons. As it's a DVD game you can just put it on the telly and all sit around to play together. A table football soccer game could also be one of those gifts he always wanted as a child but never was given, they're cheaper these days too and you can grab one for under £30. If the man in your life loves watching matches and having some friends over then what better way to unwind afterwards than to have a few games of table soccer?
