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.

Ballonet Socks

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.

Barrington Watch Winder

The Barrington watch winder is a great gift for watch enthusiasts, particularly those who own more than one automatic watch, so we gifted this watch winder to Tom, who has so many watches, he'd know exactly what to do with this. The winder keeps your automatic watch ticking by periodically rotating the watch – winding the automatic rotor inside. It can be powered via the mains or two AA batteries, which is convenient if you don't have an outlet nearby – meaning the winder can be placed on a shelf or bookcase. The number of rotations is configurable from 650 – 1950 turns per day via a dial on the back of the winder. It can also be chained to other Barrington watch winders (using the included cable) allowing you to run multiple winders from a single power source. In Tom's experience the motor is silent, which will be a blessing for those who wish to keep the winder in their bedroom. *Winder pictured with "The Last Laugh" by Mr. Jones Watches

Build Your Own Pinball Machine

If you have a guy in your life who loves building and games, a Build Your Own Pinball Machine is such a unique and fun gift. This cardboard pinball machine is something your loved one will build, from a bunch of different pieces, before being able to play with it. Constructing the pinball machine is something aimed at adults, not children, so it does provide a bit of challenge, but is something that can be done in a rainy afternoon. Once the machines is built, you can then use the flippers and launch the ball, playing pinball on your own table!

Dark Gray Canvas Satchel

One thing that any tech-savy or business man might want to add to their collection is a new bag. Having a bag that they use to carry items to and from work or whenever they go to events is essential, especially as the word starts to open back up. This Dark Gray Canvas Satchel has been a favorite of Dann's for a while now, as it fits all of his small items, business cards, laptop, and documents whenever he is going anywhere. The inside has pockets, which are useful for storage, and the bag itself is just really good quality.
