With Christmas looming, several of us will be frantically scribbling down Gift ideas. Well, the women amongst us anyway.
“Mum, easy, that jumper she pointed out. Sister, no problem, that necklace she’s wanted for ages. Gran, as always, the latest Maeve Binchy novel and a box of York Fruit Jellies. Dad, well, ummm, errrrr…”
The tedious, yearly problem is on us again… what to buy Dad, Brother, Uncle, Husband, for Christmas?
Over the past few years, there are several ‘man-gift’ websites that have sprung up claiming to come to our rescue. Type gifts for men into google and on first glance, you’d think that your worries were over. However, if you spend just five minutes scrolling through the products of companies such as theinsideman(dot)com, you’d soon come to realise that you’re back to square one.
The only real benefit of browsing through these sites seems to be the comedy value. A ‘dunk your laundry’ hoop to sit above the washing basket, an oversized faux-suede personalised cushion, a shower-gel-dispensing plastic bathroom lizard guaranteed to ‘brighten up your morning shower’… the list sadly continues.
Are there really any fresh and exciting gift ideas that Dad / Brother / Husband will genuinely like and appreciate? Gifts that won’t break the bank and are easily accessible?
New online wine retailer Naked Wines appears to hold the answer. Alongside the gift packs, champagnes and cases featured at nakedwines(dot)com , is their refreshingly simple, and instantly delivered Electronic Gift Voucher.
Delivered via email to the recipient as soon as it’s ordered, with a personalised gift message, it’s quick, easy and instant. The lucky Dad / Brother / Husband can browse the Naked website at their leisure and pick out their own choice of wines. An all-round winner that’s bound to go down a treat. And also a life-saver for those of us who need a last-minute gift!
