My second Christmas gift guide for this year is for the men. The guide features thoughtful and practical gifts to match all budgets. So, whether you are shopping for your husband, brother, father, son, grandfather or boyfriend, you are sure to spot a gift they will love receiving. Take a look.

Accessories from Trendhim

Trendhim stock a fantastic range of men's accessories that are both affordable and fashionable. Head to their website and you will be amazed to find thousands of products from many unique brands. There's everything from bags & belts to cufflinks & lapel pins, from sunglasses & watches to keychains & bracelets and from rosaries to the edgy Thor's hammer jewellery.

I have selected two fabulous belts from Trendhim's website to be featured in this gift guide.

The first one is a Black Leather Auto Lock Belt made from handsome black leather and complete with a polished metal buckle that fastens securely and adds a modern touch to your look. It is made in Denmark with vegetable-tanned leather and Nickel-free metal. A classic design that will make a great addition to any man's wardrobe.

Priced at £45, the Black Leather Auto Lock Belt can be purchased here.

My second pick is the more casual Navy Elastic Belt. Made of canvas featuring a classic polished metal buckle and trimmed with brown faux leather, this navy blue braided belt is sure to add some Italian charm to any casual outfit. 

If you are looking for more fun colours, you can pick this belt in Turquoise, Red, Cream, Green, Blue and many other colours.

ARRAN Sense of Scotland

What started as a small, family soap business has since grown into a popular luxury bath & body and home fragrance brand. That's ARRAN Sense of Scotland, a family run business based in Scotland and inspired by the Isle of Arran’s breath-taking scenery. 

At present there are seven collections available on their website, based on seven fragrances (five for her and two for him) and taking their names and inspiration from the natural elements of Arran. There are beautifully presented gift sets and stocking fillers in all price ranges which make perfect Christmas gifts.

Featured in this guide are the Lochranza Mens Shave Stone & Soap (£25) and Men's Shave Brush (£22). 

The Arran Shave Stone is a traditional shave bowl modelled on a pebble from Whiting Bay. And partnered with the Lochranza Shave Soap, this product allows the user to create a rich lather to soften bristles and promote a clean shave. The fragrance is a herbaceous blend combining the soft notes of cedar & vetiver along with the warm spice of patchouli, bay and anise. The Shave Brush is made of natural boar bristles and used with the Arran Shave Soap, it creates an effective lather and gives a quality shave.

Both are quality products that would make great gifts. You can check out all of ARRAN Sense of Scotland's gift sets on their website - www.arran.com
