Vitruvian Trainer+
There are plenty of men who value their fitness, but not all of them have the time to head to the gym as often as they’d like. If that sounds like someone you know, the Vitruvian Trainer+ could be exactly what they need. It’s an innovative fitness machine that acts as an all-in-one home gym, and it operates by using smart algorithms and AI to respond to the way you move.

This t-shirt comes from Kathmandu’s new Seeker range, which is designed for those who seek moments in nature above all else. It’s incredibly soft, eminently lightweight and maintains breathability even in the toughest of conditions.

Echt has just unveiled its new ‘League’ collection, which is inspired by the label’s hometown, Melbourne. The men’s range is made up of functional pieces, including high quality singlets and gym shorts. The MLBRN singlet is available in three colourways and is made from mesh fabric. It’s designed to suit all situations, cultivating a distinct streetwear aesthetic without sacrificing the ability to perform under athletic pressure.

The Nike Flex Rep is a dri-fit top designed to perform at its best through an entire workout, or in any other setting. A flexible, slim fit means your range of motion isn’t hampered, while reinforced seams add durability, ensuring the t-shirt will hold up during a high-energy HIIT session, or a brisk walk around your local park.
Gymshark Slim Fit Sport Joggers
A dependable pair of sport joggers is an essential in any man’s activewear collection, and these joggers are among the best. By now, Gymshark is spoken of in the same breath as heavy hitters like Nike and Adidas, and that ascension didn’t come without reason. That reason is high quality activewear like these sport joggers, which have a breathable design, are made of lightweight materials, and even boast zipped pockets for storage – a testament to their dual-functionality as performance apparel and everyday attire.
Under Armour Heavyweight Terry Hoodie
Under Armour recently introduced its ‘Live in UA’ collection, signifying a pivotal shift in the brand’s philosophy. Having previously focused almost entirely on performance sportswear and athletic apparel, Under Armour is switching gears, launching a new range of clothes to support active lifestyles – with none other than rugby star Mark Nawaqanitawase fronting the campaign. This heavyweight French Terry Hoodie is a standout from the new range, with the soft feel of fleece, without too much extra heat, making it perfect for early morning training, or simply keeping warm while out and about.

Frankster Shorts
Frankster designer Niels Hoeben views shorts not as something to be forgotten, but as the article of clothing that holds an entire outfit together. That’s the thinking behind Frankster’s range of signature shorts, which strike a balance between utility and style and are designed to flatter all men – regardless of whether or not they’re built like an athlete. Frankster shorts come in three varieties – comfies, actives and everydays. As men who are always on the move, it’s the actives that are most appealing to us, with their lightweight design and water- and wrinkle-resistant fabric.
Best tech Christmas gifts for men

You can’t put a price on a good night’s sleep, and we’re positive other guys would feel the same way. For that reason, an innovative Sleep Pod from Eight Sleep could be a gamechanger. With dual climate control, automatic temperature adjustments and clinical-grade tracking for sleep phases, heart rate and snoring, the Pod 4 is an all-encompassing sleep booster.
Beats PowerBeats Pro
A quality soundtrack can be the secret to workout enhancement, but to unlock the power of music, first-rate earwear is a must. PowerBeats Pro is purpose-built for top-notch performance during high-intensity sweat sessions. With an ergonomic design, water – or more appropriately, sweat – resistance, and a battery life lasting up to nine hours, PowerBeats Pro has the stamina to outlast you.
HOVERAir X1
The latest drone to arrive in Australia, the HOVERAir X1 is perfect for capturing family moments, outdoor activities or stunning natural landscapes and will fold up and fit in your pocket. Plus, at just $649, it’s a lot cheaper than most drones on the market.
Renpho Neck & Shoulder Massager
An all too common blight on humanity, a sore neck can suck the vigour out of even the most vibrant man. This neck and shoulder massager is the secret to evening the playing field and remedying that ailment. With a deep heating function and eight massaging nodes that will work their way into every nook and cranny, Renpho’s massager can take the stress out of the day in no time.
Sunrise Simulation Alarm Clock
Another curse on humanity, the piercingly irritating sound of an alarm clock might just be the worst possible start to a day. Why do we subject ourselves to this daily torment? Especially when there are far superior options available right now? This lamp/clock hybrid is designed to mimic the comings and goings of the sun. Depending on your preferences, the device will gradually brighten 10-60 minutes before it’s time to get up, presenting a calming start to the day. It also functions as an actual alarm clock, natural sounds generator, radio and lamp.
Ooni Koda 2 Max
If the man in your life is anything like those in ours, they’ll go through a ‘pursuing a Michelin star from the backyard’ stage at some point. You can help facilitate that with a top-of-the-line outdoor oven like the Ooni Koda 2 Max. While it’s ostensibly a pizza oven, the Koda 2 Max is Ooni’s most versatile creation to date, with the ability to cook a variety of dishes. You can pop a pizza in at 350 degrees on one side and a roast chicken with veggies at 180 degrees on the other and cook both to perfection simultaneously. That’s thanks to the Koda 2 Max’s first-of-its-kind dual-zone cooking function, which allows for different temperatures on each side of the oven.
Best running shoe Christmas gifts for men
ASICS Gel-Kayano-31
The winner of the 2024 Men’s Health Sneaker Awards in the daily trainer category, if there is a better daily trainer than ASICS’ Gel-Kayano 31, we can’t find it. There isn’t a shoe that can rival the Gel-Kayano’s stability, which is elevated from the already market-leading stability of its predecessors. A refurbished upper provides a stronger fit, an updated outsole made from ASICSGRIP rubber offers surplus traction and PureGEL technology delivers improved shock absorption, but the real standout is the Gel-Kayano 31’s unique 4D Guidance System, which reacts to the movement of your body to provide adaptive stability in the areas where it’s needed most.
New Balance SuperComp Elite V4
Another winner from our 2024 Sneaker Awards, the New Balance SuperComp Elite V4 is the very best race day shoe. With a lightweight construction, powerful energy-returning technology and an ergonomic design, it’s a force to be reckoned with. The FuelCell midsole is crafted with 100% PEBA foam, not only ensuring ridiculously precise responsiveness but also a firm platform for every stride – a tricky balance to strike. Energy return is where the SC Elite really shines though. By optimising the distribution of force and maximising the storage and release of energy, the shoes boast a level of responsiveness that borders on the supernatural.
Brooks Ghost 16
The newly released Brooks Ghost 16 comes from a line of bestselling shoes, and there’s a reason for their popularity. It has an engineered mesh upper and a decently thick (but not too thick) midsole, which is made of propulsive nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 foam. To us, the Ghost 16 proves that you don’t need all the flashy accoutrements and exaggerated features of some of our pricier award recipients to run at your best.
New Balance 1080v14
New Balance’s vaunted 1080 line is known for premium cushioning and comfort, using the renowned Fresh Foam technology in the midsole to provide a super-smooth ride and seamless heel-to-toe transition. The 1080v14 takes its predecessors innovations to the next level, with a number of refinements to enhance to the overall running experience, like an ultra-supportive fit and supreme cushioning.
HOKA Speedgoat 6
In case the man in your life is more of a trail runner, we present the winner of the Men’s Health Sneaker awards in the trail running category. The aptly named Speedgoat 6 from Hoka really is the GOAT of trail running speed. Hoka is an industry leader in trail running footwear, with its Torrent and Tecton lines both receiving widespread acclaim, but we think the Speedgoat is the most worthy of praise. That’s because the Speedgoat 6 is truly the trail runner for everyone. Whether you consider yourself a beginner or veteran, there’s benefits to be found.
ASICS Novablast 5
ASICS’ famous Novablast model has received its latest update this very month. The new Novablast 5 now includes FF BLAST MAX foam cushioning, making it 8.5 per cent bouncier than its predecessor. The upper of the shoe has also been reworked to be more breathable, so it now boasts superior comfort. If the man in your life will only settle for the latest innovations when it comes to running shoes, this is your best bet.
Best Christmas gifts for a man who likes watches
Apple Watch Ultra 2
As far as smart watches go, it’s impossible to look past the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The Ultra 2 pushes the limits of what you’ve come to expect from a smart watch. With a built-in GPS system, dual speakers, an incredible battery life of up to 72 hours, a range of performance metrics, and the ability to interact without even touching the display, the Ultra 2 has a wealth of features, with everything you could possibly want, plus more.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra
Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch Ultra is the ultimate companion for any of the man in your life’s adventures. Built for the outdoors, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is packed with next-gen technology, including Samsung’s longest lasting battery yet and advanced tracking provided by the powerful Galaxy AI – which can deliver intelligent insides and keep dad’s activity and wellness on track.
Hublot Integrated Time Only
Earlier this year, Hublot revealed six new Big Bang Integrated Time Only watches. All six are smaller than their predecessors, with 38mm cases. Two come in exclusive king gold material, two more are in polished titanium with black or blue dials, and the final pairing utilise Hublot’s signature ceramics and come in black or blue. You’re spoiled for choice in regard to colour schemes.
Longines Spirit Flyback
Longines’ Spirit collection boasts the traditional features of aviators’ watches as well as the latest innovations in horological technology. The Flyback line has just received a revamp, with two new varieties featuring green or brown dials and cases made of steel and 18-carat gold – personally, we prefer the green. The Flyback is powered by the Longines calibre L791.4 and is equipped with a silicon balance-spring, making it ten times more resistant to magnetic fields. The dial is topped with a multi-layer anti-reflective sapphire crystal and features a sub-seconds dial at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute timer at 3 o’clock.
Tag Heuer ‘Panda’ Carrera Chronograph
Earlier this year, Tag Heuer unveiled a modernisation of a beloved model from its catalogue. The revamped Carrera Chronograph, affectionately dubbed the panda, reinvents the 7753 SN from 1969. Like its forefather, the new watch features a silver dial and two black chronograph sub dials, giving off the appearance of a certain species of giant bear endemic to China. It also makes use of the glassbox crystal recent Carreras have experimented with, a design reminiscent of the vintage domed acrylic crystals of Tag Heuer’s earlier timepieces.
Zenith Defy Extreme Diver
Zenith’s Defy Extreme series is all about pushing boundaries. While the brand is renowned for its mastery of the air, it’s just as capable in the sea. As you would expect from a dive watch, the Defy Extreme Diver has 600 metres of water resistance. That will hold up at depths of up to 1,969 feet, a nod to the original Zenith Defy Diver, which was released in 1969. The immense practical applications of the watch do not result in a compromise on style though. A 42.5mm titanium case with an angular design and vertically brushed strokes, as well as a ceramic outer bezel, maintain the watch’s sophisticated appearance.
Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT
The Black Bay 58 is fitted with Tudor’s new mid-size GMT Manufacture Calibre, which forms a master chronometer certified by Metas. The diving watch’s retro colourway – which utilises the brand’s iconic red and black hues – along with it being the first Black Bay piece with a GMT function, make it a must-have for horologically-inclined men.
Best travel Christmas gifts for men
Antler Clifton Medium Suitcase
Every traveller needs a sturdy, reliable and secure suitcase, and they don’t come much better than the stock at Antler. The Clifton case in particular has everything you could ever want in a suitcase. With a strong and light design, the Clifton is durable and rock-solid, while still wheeling about with ease. It’s also colour-fast, meaning that when scratches to its exterior are inevitably made, the case will stay true to its original colour.
Angus Leather Tall Weekender
Everyone wants to be the guy that shows up to the boy’s trip or couple’s getaway looking perfectly suited to the occasion, but few can pull it off successfully. As it turns out, the best way to complete your weekend-away look is with a quality weekender. The Angus weekender is your friend in this space, with a fashionable exterior, and a spacious interior that’s fit for its function.
Magnetic Floating Globe
Every self-respecting globetrotter needs a globe. Whether you’re spinning it and placing your finger at random to pick a future travel destination, or simply marvelling at the technological wonder of levitation, this globe is as good as they come.
Best fragrance Christmas gifts for men
Ralph Lauren Polo 67
Polo 67 is a bold, bright fragrance for an ambitious man who boasts a sporty yet refined style. This scent is marked by a spark of woods and citrus, creating an eminently fresh and fruity blend with notes of Calabrian bergamot, pineapple accord, geranium, clary sage, earthy vetiver and patchouli.
Chanel Allure Homme Sport Superleggera
Allure Homme Sport Superleggera is for the man who goes all-in with everything he does. A limited edition interpretation of Chanel’s Allure Homme Sport range, Superleggera is sensually vivid, a whirlwind of energy with woody and amber accents as well as notes of sparkling grapefruit. Superleggera is made for men of action who embrace new challenges. Sound familiar?
Rabanne Invictus Victory Elixir
Rabanne’s Invictus Victory Elixir is the ideal base layer for a man who values intense, earthy fragrances, with strong notes of amber and wood. The scent is really a global effort, with lavender sourced from the French region of Provence, accompanied by black pepper, green cardamom, Indonesian patchouli, hand-harvested Somalian incense, Madagascan vanilla, and the coup de grâce, the concentrated nectar of a tonka bean.
Hugo Boss Bottled Parfum
If the man in your life is the kind of person who likes to attract attention and doesn’t mind being told that he smells amazing, Hugo Boss’ signature Eau de Parfum could be for him. The scent draws on a base of amber and wood, merging it with notes of orris concrete and fig tree root for a refined yet powerful fragrance.
Montblanc Explorer Platinum
Montblanc’s signature Explorer collection evokes the spirit of adventure, and the fragrance’s platinum edition takes that philosophy one step further. This time, with a resonant, earthy aroma built on woody notes from cypress and cedarwood. Traces of grapefruit, violet leaves and sage lend the scent an air of refinement. While you can’t feel a scent, the Explorer Platinum’s woodiness can only be described as textural. To prove that we’re not going crazy from inhaling too many rich fragrances, you’ll need to smell this one for yourself.
No. 2
An Australian made post-flush perfume – meaning you spray it after you, well… flush – No. 2 offers notes of mandarin, geranium and bergamot to sweeten the air. Stylish enough to have on display, No. 2 is especially helpful for those with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), in more ways than one. Ten per cent of all sales are donated back to Crohn’s & Colitis Australia, to further support and empower those who suffer from bowel conditions and to fund life-changing research.
Best Christmas sex toy gifts for men

Thankfully, the ideal gear for the endeavour is already here. Give the gift of pleasure this Christmas, with this mantric sex toy, which combines an ergonomic design with proven technology.
Lovehoney Blowmotion Warming Vibrating Male Masturbator
We must remind you that not every item in our gift guide is fit for every guy you know. That’s why we’ve helpfully broken them down into different categories. With that in mind, a warming, vibrating male masturbator called ‘Blowmotion’ probably isn’t the most appropriate gift for a family member or a work colleague, but it could be a gamechanger for an intimate partner. This device operates by enveloping the head of the penis, warming the member up to 40 degrees, vibrating in six distinct patterns and three intensities, delivering a world of pleasure.
LELO Bruno Prostate Massager
For the man who prefers his sex toys and prostate massagers to be exclusively high end, LELO’s ‘Bruno’ is an optimal choice. With two powerful motors situated in the device’s tip and base, Bruno utilises six vibration patterns, a smooth silicone exterior and waterproof layering to get the job done.
Best Christmas gifts for an outdoorsy guy

Designed with a classic fit and rounded collar, it’s a versatile piece that can be worn across the seasons, with a well-insulated layer and generous storage capabilities.

Surprisingly spacious for its size, the satchel is also water-resistant and abrasion resistant, making it a practical and durable choice of outdoor apparel.

Best alcoholic Christmas gifts
Tomintoul 10.Y.O. Whisky
Few men wouldn’t appreciate a new addition to their whisky shelf. This-10-year-old single malt distilled by Tomintoul is ideal for the man with a more refined palette, who prefers a more gentle taste. If that sounds like your man, he’s in luck, because this whisky is literally known as the ‘gentle dram’. Tomintoul channels the essence of the Scottish Highlands’ serenity in every bottle, with a taste derived from the distillery’s location in the Cairngorms, pure water from the Ballantruan spring and Tomintoul’s tall stills. The result in a smooth, balanced whisky with floral aromas of acacia honey and vanilla on the nose, notes of crème caramel and toasted almond on the tongue, and a buttery oak and citrus finish.
Ezra Brooks Kentucky Straight Bourbon
The only gift fit for a legend like the man in your life is on handcrafted by another legend. So, if he’s a bourbon drinker, a bottle from master distiller Ezra Brooks is your best bet. This particular whiskey is made in the lux row distillery on the iconic Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Aged in charred white oak barrels for seven years, the whiskey carries a subtle sweetness, with notes of caramel and vanilla, while hints of spice and chocolate provide a warm finish.
Jack Daniel’s Bonded Triple Mash Whiskey
For those who aren’t in the know, a bonded whiskey is a dram that’s distilled by a single distiller during a single distilling season, is matured in a bonded warehouse for at least four years and bottled at 100 proof – as was stipulated by the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897. Triple Mash is actually a blend of three bottled in bond whiskeys. It’s 60 per cent bonded rye whiskey, 20 per cent bonded Tennessee whiskey, and 20 per cent bonded American malt whiskey. The result is a balanced, well-rounded final product with a complex flavour profile consisting of honey sweetness, refreshing grain spice and a hint of dry oak. With Triple Mash, you can enjoy three bonded whiskies in one pour.
DR3 x St Hugo, Ric Red
As a rule, if an F1 driver like Daniel Ricciardo likes a product, we’re inclined to attribute a great deal of value to his seal of approval. Ricciardo says this red blend is his secret sauce. It’s a full bodied, off-dry wine made in collaboration with the prestigious St Hugo Wines in South Australia. Simply bursting with character, tasting notes include lively, fresh red fruits which precede the emergence of fine tannins and the lingering flavour of plush red cherry. This wine is as easy drinking as they come, and it’s the perfect gift for a wine enthusiast or an F1 fan.
Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Notes of burnt brown sugar and cloves make this bourbon perfectly suited to the Christmas season, whether you use it in a bloody Mary or an Espresso bourbon-tini.
Glen Moray Sherry Cask Finish
This Glen Moray whiskey come from the Explorers Range, which showcases the different cask finishes and ageing techniques of the distiller’s Speyside single malts.

The resulting flavour is rich and multi-layered, with an exquisite interplay of tasting dimensions, coupled with a classic, burnished gold hue.
