Gifts for the man who has everything
A man who has everything rarely has the clever small thing: a mug that keeps coffee at drinking temperature, a cocktail smoker, a putting mat for the hallway. Aim for something he would never buy himself but will use often.

Best overall gift
1. Ember Mug 2 (14oz)
Hand wash only · Up to 80 minutes, or all day on its coaster · Ember app; 57.2°C by default · 14oz
The clearest example of a gift he would never buy himself: a mug that keeps coffee at the temperature he set. The listing confirms up to 80 minutes on battery, all-day warmth on its charging coaster and app control, with a default of 57.2°C without the app. It is hand wash only and dear for a mug, which is exactly why he will not own one.

Best for whisky drinkers
2. ComboJoy Cocktail Smoker Kit with Torch
Included, butane not supplied · 2 · 2 ice ball moulds · 6 flavours
For the man with a drinks cabinet: smoke from wood chips goes into an old fashioned through an oak top set over the glass. The listing confirms a torch, six wood chip flavours, two glasses and two ice ball moulds in a gift box. Butane for the torch is not included, so buy a can at the same time.
-
Best for golfers
3. Longridge Putt N Hazard Putting Mat
Ball return slope · Bunker and water · Synthetic turf
A putting mat for the hallway is exactly the clever small thing a man with everything lacks. The listing confirms a synthetic grass surface, a ball return slope and bunker and water hazards that catch missed putts. It is a fun mat with hazards, so a serious golfer after a long practice green should look elsewhere.
-
Best for coffee on the go
4. EVERANGE Portable Electric Espresso Maker
Ground coffee or NS capsules · 7500mAh, USB-C · Self-heats in 3-5 minutes · 20 bar
For the man with a good coffee machine at home but nothing at the campsite or in the car. The listing confirms 20-bar pressure, self-heating water in three to five minutes and a 7500mAh battery that charges over USB-C. It makes single small shots, and only about five from a charge with room-temperature water, so it is for trips, not the office.
-
Best for everyday carry
5. Gerber Dime Multi-Tool
Stainless steel with lanyard loop · Pliers, scissors, knife, bottle opener, tweezers · 12
Small enough for a key ring and useful most days, from opening parcels to a stubborn bottle. The listing confirms 12 functions including pliers, scissors, a knife and a bottle opener in stainless steel. It has a small blade, so it cannot go in hand luggage.
-
Best for winter walks
6. FULLLIGHT TECH Bluetooth Beanie Hat
Built-in mic, up to 15 hours · Knit hat with speakers · 250mAh, 19 to 23 hours of music
Headphones he does not have to remember, built into a hat he will wear on cold dog walks anyway. The listing claims 19 to 23 hours of music and a mic for hands-free calls. Sound from speakers inside a knit hat will not match proper headphones, so this is for walks and runs, not music at home.
-
Best for the bedroom
7. PIKOY Galaxy Star Projector with Speaker
15 · Remote and timer · Bluetooth 5.3 · 15 built-in sounds
A star projector sounds like a teenager's gift, but this one doubles as a Bluetooth speaker and white noise machine for a man who struggles to switch off. The listing confirms 15 colours, 15 built-in sounds including rain and sea waves, and a remote with a timer. The listing is aimed at children and teens, so the look may need a sense of humour.
-
Best for the home bar
8. WHISISKEY Whiskey Decanter Set with Glasses
Decanter and whisky glasses · Gift set
A decanter is the sort of thing a man rarely buys himself but uses every time someone comes round for a drink. The listing confirms a decanter with whiskey glasses, sold as a gift set. It gives almost no detail on capacity or glass type, so check the photos and product details on the page before you buy.
Nothing matches those filters. Try fewer filters, or search for a brand like "MSI" or "Crucial".
How we rank
Chosen from what is selling on Amazon UK in each category on the day we checked, inside the price cap, and only if it was in stock. Ordered by how useful the gift is to the person it is for, then price. We have not handled these products: the write-ups rest on what each listing states. Prices and stock are checked daily.
Prices are Amazon UK and eBay UK at the time we last checked; they move daily, so confirm on the retailer's page. We earn a small commission if you buy through our links, at no cost to you. It never changes the order. More about how we work.
