Christmas gifts
for men.
Ideas by budget, what to avoid under the tree, and how late you can order.
At Christmas, the gifts that work best for men are those that get used up, create an experience or meet a need they neglect themselves. Avoid decorative objects, gadgets and anything that takes up space. Allow between CHF 40 and CHF 100 for a main gift, and plan to order before mid-December if the gift needs to be delivered.
The best options
What works under the tree
Ranked by effect, not by product category.
To avoid
What ends up at the back of the cupboard
Not through bad taste, but through a poor fit.
- Decorative objects: they take up space without being chosen by the person
- Fun gadgets: the effect lasts one evening
- Clothes in the right size but the wrong taste: almost impossible to guess
- Devices he would have bought himself if he wanted one
- Vouchers with no clear expiry date: they get lost before they are used
By budget
How much to spend at Christmas?

| CHF 50 to 100 | A 3-month subscription, a simple experience, a gift box | 3-month combined boxer and sock subscription, CHF 82.90 |
| CHF 100 to 200 | A 6-month subscription, a memorable experience, a joint gift | 6-month combined subscription, CHF 165.90 |
| Over CHF 200 | A weekend, several gifts combined | 12-month combined subscription, CHF 329.90 |
How late you can order
The deadlines to know
Every year, Swiss Post publishes a last posting date before Christmas, usually around mid-December.
- Gift to be delivered: order about ten days before Christmas at the latest, as the week before the holidays is the busiest of the year
- Gift in a gift box: allow the same time, the parcel is sent wrapped
- You are leaving it late: a printable voucher is available straight away, free of charge and with no delivery time
- You still want something to hand over: print the voucher and slip it into an envelope or a box you already have
