During the almost-year that I’ve been writing on this website alongside Jupiter I’ve been introduced to a massive selection of companies who create custom, specialised presents and gifts perfect for a variety of events. Father’s Day is rapidly approaching, and this made me realise that this is – almost certainly – one of the best times of year for us to quickly list off some of the best Father’s Day gifts out there.

*AD/Collaboration, but as always, all views are my own.

There are more than a few ages where it gets tricky to buy presents for kids, but few more so than the transition from kid into a teenager. Age 11-12-year-old children. My eldest child, Kai, is twelve, and when you ask him what he wants for Christmas, for his birthday, or even – sometimes – for dinner, he answers with uncertainties. We’re a very busy household, we play computer games and board games together, we regularly go out for walks, or to events, or the cinema… and so, there are always a few options there. But, at that age, they’ve just started secondary school, and that means that there’s more than likely a shift in the people who they play with and spend time with at school – as well as the implications from, in the UK, being treated as a ‘young adult’ rather than a child.

So what great gifts do you buy for somebody who already has games, toys and more, somebody whose mind and view of the world might be shifting?

*AD – several items in this gift guide was gifted to our household for this post. All opinions, as always, are our own. Updated on November 22nd, 2021.

Christmas is coming up quickly, and I always find that the men in my life are the hardest to shop for. They seem to want for very little, but at the same time, it’s Christmas and I need to get them a gift! When it comes to finding the best gift, it does depend on who you are shopping for. Different people have different tastes, but the aim of this article is to highlight some Christmas gifts that are aimed at the masculine people in your life. Let’s get into the best Christmas gifts for men.

It is traditional to get men socks for Christmas! I am not sure what started these traditions or why socks are something always given on Christmas, but it’s something classic. Finding some cool and fun socks to fill this gift is always something I aim to do, and Ballonet Socks have such wonderful, vibrant designs – they are sure to stand out. I specifically love their Flash socks, which look like a 90s throwback, with some cool patterns. If you are looking for something that says Christmas time, from the view of your feet, their Flake socks are what you want to go after! They also have tons of other designs and even a gift bo set, which will really give your loved one some very nice new socks to enjoy in the new year.
