Great Gifts For Him This Christmas ‘18
Does anyone else think that buying gifts for men is actually more difficult than buying for women, or is that just me? My man’s Christmas list usually includes some obscure car part or a power tool I’ve never heard of, but thankfully this year he’s let me off the hook and given me a few ideas that I actually understand. Whether the men in your life are petrol heads or movie buffs, this Christmas gift guide should cover a few bases and give you some great gift inspiration.

For The Old Romantics
Book Of Romance
My boyfriend is a bit of an old romantic and a classic gent. I think this is fantastic book for men like him. The Book Of Romance is a bit cheeky and a bit of fun. Before your head goes to the gutter, it’s not that kind of cheeky! The Book Of Everyone helps people create personalised gifts that carry real emotional value . There are a variety of books to choose from and loads of personalisable anecdotes throughout each book style. The books are crammed full of wise quotes, fun facts and beautiful images that fit nicely between cute personal anecdotes about your loved ones. I can’t wait to see the look on my boyfriend’s face when he opens this on Christmas day.

Springerle & Speculaas Biscuit Roller
As I’ve mentioned once or twice, my boyfriend is half German. That means that around Christmas time, our flat is full of all the traditional German treats! They are delicious, as any foodie would agree, which means that this Springerle & Speculaas biscuit roller would make a great gift for Christmas. The roller quickly and easily moulds traditional German and Dutch biscuits in 12 different designs, including birds, flowers, berries, squirrels and palace-like towers.
