CHRISTMAS GIFT LIST: FOR THE LADS

Made-up facts aside, we know we always struggle a little when it comes to buying gifts for them in December each year.

The lads always appreciate some new socks and undies…. But they’re presents that have been overdone a little, right? And if you try to ask these blokes what they actually specifically want, you usually get a less-than-ideal response in return.

“I don’t need anything, surprise me,” they say. And while that’s easier said than done, Santa’s elves have come to the rescue in the form of a wee gift guide, making this Christmas easier than years past!

Say sayonara to sucky socks and kia ora to the key to gift-love success!

We’ve got your male guide sorted.*

*These gifts aren’t just for the guys, they could be for anyone! But we reckon any guy would love this bunch.
