23 gift sets for men that won't feel like you totally forgot him, because men are really hard to buy for

The British high street is AMPING UP the festive spirit right now, and gift sets for men are dropping in abundance. It's a good job, really. Men are notoriously hard to buy for, and whether it's your boyfriend, gifts for dad, best friend or brother that you've got in mind, inspiration tends to evade us when it comes to buying the perfect gift. Maybe it’s because they can sometimes seem rather unbothered by what turns up in their lap, or worse, because they're picky. Either way, the quest for the best gifts for men seems doomed from the start.

There's one easy solution to the annual Christmas gifts struggle, and that's men's gift sets. Far from an afterthought – rather a really chic and special collection of luxury products – gift sets for men will show you care without stressing you out in the process. Whatever your budget, whatever his interests, there’s a gift set for men here to suit. And tonnes of them will be reduced for Black Friday.

For the man that loves his food, why not think outside (or actually, inside) the box with this fancy letterbox charcuterie selection, perfect for sending from afar? Elsewhere, you could bring Italy to his front door with John Lewis’ mouth watering Italian deli basket. Cocktail aficionados will adore this *very* chic bartender kit, while this craft beer gift set will go down a treat, and this red wine duo from Fortnum & Mason will score you serious brownie points.
