There's a new gadget on the market to rival the iPhone, and it might just make the perfect Christmas present

Christmas is said to be the happiest time of year, but it's also one of the most stressful.

Between extended family gatherings and picking out gifts, it can all get a little overwhelming.

So, to take a bit of a load off we've put together a curated gift-guide for all the men in your life so if you're not sure where to start, you'll soon know exactly what to get them.

Make sure he smells good

Hearing that you smell good is one of the highest compliments a person can receive, so when you gift cologne you're not just gifting the physical present – you're throwing in a sprinkle of confidence.

But the downfall of gifting cologne is that it can be hard to know where to start with so many on the market, so we suggest you start with Guess.

Guess' Iconic For Men Eau de Parfum is the perfect present for him to unwrap under the tree, with an irresistible blend of mandarin citrus, spicy pepper, sage and vetiver.

Basically, it's a cologne that smells like an effortless combination of adventure and style – every man's dream, right?

And the best part is that it won't break the bank with a 100ml bottle available for just $99 at Myer!

Upgrade his tech

Sure, gifting men some new gadgets might seem typical, but we're not just talking about any gadgets here.

If you're going to gift tech, you have to get crafty with it, something unique that he doesn't already have, or something that puts a new spin on a gadget he already loves.

For example, take a look at the brand Nothing. (Yes, the name of the brand is "Nothing".)

The Nothing Phone (3) basically combines the best of the iPhone and Samsung experiences to create a brand new model that could very well begin to sweep the market soon.

And while it's certainly not cheap, it does come in at a lower price point than the new iPhone.

Plus, the Nothing Headphones (1) might just be the coolest-looking pair of earwear we've ever seen!

So if you know someone who prides themselves on being ahead of the curve, some new tech might be the way to go.

Treat yourself to some quality meals

If you want a hack to make sure that you benefit from the gift you get him, this is the one for you.

Why not treat yourself this holiday season and get him something that makes cooking fun, that way you'll get to kick back and relax as he plays chef.

In terms of dollar value, you have a lot of freedom here.

If you're looking for something on the cheaper end, you can go with a good cookbook (Stanley Tucci's is a real hit among our team) or something like a cast iron burger smasher to assist in the creation of some delicious burgers (we hear you don't know how badly you need one until you're gifted one).

If you want something a little more lush in terms of price tag, turn your thoughts toward a bougie knife set or maybe even a Ninja Creami if you're keen for a Summer filled with delicious frozen treats.

Think of something personal

This can be a bit trickier but if you really know the person, it can end up being a gift they'll never forget.

What exactly a personalised gift looks like really depends on the person, but think of commemorating a special moment in their lives – people will rarely ever immortalize their own achievements but they're sure to be stoked when someone else does it for them!

One member of our team shared that she is getting her partner's marathon medal and bib framed. It's these kind of gifts that are sure to stick with a person if you're looking to leave an impression this holiday season.

Accesorise, accesorise, accesorise!

A white t-shirt and jeans is a fine outfit, but it becomes a great outfit when paired with the right accessories.

Think a nice chain, a classy watch, or even a new leather belt.

Whatever you feel like his outfits are lacking, this is your chance to add it under the guise of a gift!

Get practical

Forgive us for the stereotype here, but men tend to not buy the things they kind-of do need but are refusing to admit they need.

We often try and get creative when it comes to our gift giving, but sometimes that can be a huge mistake.

Sometimes the gift we should be giving, is the most practical.

We're talking something like a set of pajamas. Sure, they might already have a pair, but if that pair has been worn every night for the past eight years and is barely hanging on by a thread, it might be time to go shopping.

If you just observe for a week or two, you'll find something practical that they need. If you're sick of buying presents that get left in the back of the cupboard untouched for eternity, this is a sure-fire way to avoid that.
