From luxurious aftershaves and cashmere knits to stylish bags, these are the Christmas gifts notoriously hard-to-buy-for men actually want. Click here to shop.

Every year, without fail, I’m met with the same line: "I don’t need anything". Shopping for the men in my life can sometimes feel akin to solving a particularly complicated mathematical equation: time-consuming, frustrating and, at points, seemingly impossible. So this year, rather than spending December second-guessing yet another pair of socks, I decided to go straight to the source.

I asked the men who insist, year after year, that they want absolutely nothing, what they’d actually be happy to find under the tree. From fancy aftershaves and glossy new backpacks to sumptuous cashmere jumpers and the GAP x A.P.C. tote bag, their wish lists prove that even the most notoriously difficult men to buy for have something they secretly want. Whether you’re shopping for a boyfriend, husband, dad, brother or equally elusive friend, keep scrolling for the Christmas gifts men actually told me they’d like to receive.
