Good things for men

Boy's toys


Categories such as "Boys Toys", "Batchelor Pad" and "Gadgets" will give you an idea of what’s on offer here. From casino dice at £5.95 to a powerboat at a mere £36,000 (!), you should find something to suit any man. The product reviews are well written and funny  – we particularly liked the "Message Bag" which is a handy little device that can record noises or insults and play them back whenever someone walks past. Oh, the hours of fun … www.firebox.com

Silver stuff


A stylish collection of silverware for men and women. Cufflinks, photo frames, tableware etc. All classy gear, none of your rubbish here. Slightly random gift selector suggests suitable presents. Cufflinks from £60. www.linksoflondon.com

Wild days out

 

Vouchers for exciting experiences such as ballooning, yachting, the Orient Express etc etc. Lots of great activities are included in categories such as "Wet and Wild", "Air Adventures" and "Lazy Days". It’s not that cheap (most events are £100-£200) but there are some fantastic ideas for that one-off special gift. The vouchers are delivered with a personal message and last up to a year. It’s also possible to arrange group activities perfect for hen or stag weekends and to tailor them to suit your requirements. www.exhilaration.co.uk

Suits and ties


Formal work shirts, ties and cufflinks. Good selection, good quality, sensible prices (expect to pay about £45 for a shirt, £33 for a tie – but there are lots of special offers). You won’t go far wrong. www.josephturner.co.uk

CDs

 

A simple idea (cheap CDs) and a simple site. The choice includes the top 75 albums, all at considerably lower prices than you would pay in the high street. How low? Well, how does £8.99 sound? Worldwide delivery is free of charge. www.cdwow.com
