Christmas Gifts Him
Men buy what they need. Christmas is for what they want but won't buy themselves. That's the gap to fill — a watch he's had bookmarked for two years, a jacket he's deliberated over, a piece of jewellery he'd never think to get himself. This guide covers every budget, from OD's two Barrow Street stores in St Helens.

1 | Under £100
The under-£100 bracket is where jewellery and accessories clean up for men. The key is buying something he wouldn't reach for himself — a branded piece that carries a clear identity.

- BOSS T-Shirt or Logo Tee — From £55. The BOSS logo does the gift-recognition work.
2 | £100–£200
The most popular gift range for him. Enough to feel significant; achievable for most budgets. Watches and designer clothing both hit their sweet spot here.

Clothing — £100–£200 Clothing
- BOSS Polo Shirt — Pima cotton, slim fit, embroidered logo. £99–£130. The item he'd deliberate over in store then walk away from. A good Christmas gift.
- Sandbanks Jacket — The Sandbanks quilted or softshell. Layering jacket he'll reach for daily from October to April. From £120.

6 | Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Christmas gift for a man who has everything?
The best gift for a man who has everything is something he wants but won't buy for himself — typically a watch above his self-set budget, a designer piece he's eyeing but keeps talking himself out of, or a premium version of something he uses daily. A Tissot PRX if he wears a fashion watch. A Belstaff jacket if he already has the Barbour. The goal is quality above his self-imposed ceiling.
What watch should I buy a man for Christmas?
For under £200: a BOSS or Tommy Hilfiger watch — recognisable, well-built, and with clear brand identity. For £200–£350: the Tissot PRX or Citizen Eco-Drive — Swiss or Japanese quality that will last for years. For over £350: Tissot PRX Automatic or Citizen Promaster — watches with genuine mechanical or technical credentials. Come into OD's Jewellers on Barrow Street in St Helens and we can put each option on his wrist before you commit.
Can I buy clothing and jewellery on the same visit to OD's?
Yes. OD's Jewellers (41 Barrow Street) and OD's Designer Clothing (44 Barrow Street) are on the same street, 30 seconds apart. Many customers visit both in a single trip. Staff at either store can point you across the road if what you are looking for is better suited to the other location.
Is jewellery a good Christmas gift for a man?
Men's jewellery has expanded significantly — BOSS bracelets, Nomination link bracelets, and steel chain pieces are worn daily by men across all age groups. The key is choosing something that fits his existing style. A steel BOSS bracelet suits a man who wears a BOSS watch. A Nomination bracelet suits someone who builds a collection. If in doubt, a watch is a safer choice — but men's jewellery is no longer a niche category.
What is a good Christmas gift for a man in his 20s, 40s, or 60s?
20s: BOSS watch, Sandbanks jacket, Nomination bracelet — price-conscious, brand-aware. 40s: Tissot PRX, Belstaff jacket, BOSS polo — quality-focused, wants things that last. 60s: Citizen Eco-Drive or Promaster (practical), Barbour jacket (timeless), Gran Sasso knitwear (subtle luxury). Age steers the style more than the category — watches and quality clothing are appropriate at every stage.
