Here are seven Christmas gift ideas for him from New Zealand brands, whether you're shopping for your dad, your partner, your brother or a mate. Fill one cart, check out once, and order early for Christmas.

Gifts for the outdoors man: polarised sunglasses
The URBA VISTA Titan Polarised Sunglasses in Tortoise Green pair a classic tortoiseshell frame with deep green polarised lenses. They suit driving, fishing, hiking and days at the beach, and the TR90 frame keeps them light at around 29 grams. A good one for the guy who's always outside over summer.
Gifts for surfers and swimmers: a waterproof change robe
If he surfs, swims, paddles or camps, the Moana SUP and Surf Waterproof Change Robe is basically a portable changing shed. It has a waterproof and windproof outer shell, a fleece lining, a hood, full-length sleeves and a two-way zip, with plenty of room to get changed at the beach or in the carpark. It's unisex and one size fits (almost) everyone, so you don't need to guess his size. Choose from Red/Grey, Ocean Blue/Sky Blue or Navy Blue/Red.
Stocking stuffer for him: bamboo socks
Socks are a Christmas classic for a reason. The Barekind Save the Gannet Bamboo Socks feature striking seabirds across an ocean-blue background with bright yellow accents. They're made from bamboo fibre and are ready for workdays, weekend wanders and putting his feet up. Barekind says 10% of profits from these socks are donated to the Scottish Seabird Centre.
Grooming gifts for men
For the bearded bloke, Viking Beard Oil from Bumble & Birdie blends argan, camellia and pumpkin seed oils with lemon, black spruce, neroli and amyris essential oils. It's lightweight and non-greasy, with a clean, subtly woody scent, and it comes in an amber glass bottle.
If he likes to keep things simple in the bathroom, the NaturalCare Men's Shampoo & Conditioner Bar Combo is an easy, no-fuss gift. It includes two 70g bars, a shampoo and a conditioner, made with rosemary oil and rice protein.
Food gifts for him: coffee butter cookies
For the coffee lover, the Lowrey Coffee Butter Cookies Gift Tin pairs New Zealand cultured butter with coffee and cocoa powder for a mocha-style flavour. Lowrey butter cookies are handcrafted in New Zealand and come in a gift-ready tin. It's a good one to share at work, too.
Gifts for dog dads
Sometimes the way to his heart is through his dog. The Brooklyn® Deep Sleep Dog Bed is a full, fluffy bed made for all breeds and designed for year-round use, summer included. It's washing machine safe with tougher seams, and comes in sizes from XS to 2XL and colours like Chalk Grey, Beige and Black. The Brooklyn is 100% Kiwi owned and operated. Our For dog lovers collection has a few more ideas.
