What's the Best Christmas Gift for a Man?

The best Christmas gift is one he'll wear every day, not one he'll put away on Boxing Day. Here's the short version:

• If he's new to jewellery: a slim chain, like the Connell, or the Essential Set.
• If you want it to mean something: a pendant gift set, like the North Star Gift Set.
• If he already loves jewellery: a statement Cuban or a signet ring.
• If you're not sure at all: a CRAFTD e-gift card. You choose the value, he chooses the piece.

Why Is Jewellery a Good Christmas Gift?

Most Christmas presents have a short life. A jumper gets worn a few times, a bottle gets finished, tickets get used. A good piece of jewellery goes the other way: it becomes part of what he wears, every day, all year.

• He wears it year-round. A chain or a ring works in January as well as it does on Christmas Day.
• It's a safe bet, even if you're still getting to know him. A clean silver chain suits almost any style, which is why it works for a newer partner or a Secret Santa.
• It reminds him of you. Choose a pendant with a meaning that fits him and the gift keeps saying something long after the wrapping's gone.
• It's CRAFTD to last. Our pieces are backed by a lifetime warranty, so it won't be replaced by next Christmas.

The gift he opens on Christmas morning and is still wearing in March.

How Do You Get the Size Right?

Size is where most jewellery gifts go wrong, and it's easy to sort without giving the surprise away. Chains, bracelets and gift sets come in a small number of standard sizes, and most men fall into the same one or two. Our guide to gifting men's jewellery walks through it step by step, and our chain length guide shows where each length sits. If it doesn't fit, you can exchange it.

FAQs

What is a good Christmas gift for a man who has everything?

Something he'll wear rather than something he'll store. A pendant with a meaning that fits him, a boxed gift set or a signet ring all add to what he already owns instead of duplicating it. If he already wears a chain, add the matching bracelet or a pendant.

Is jewellery a good Christmas gift for a man who doesn't wear any?

Yes, if you keep it simple. A slim silver chain or a chain-and-bracelet set is the easiest first piece: it works with a T-shirt, sits under a shirt collar and doesn't ask him to change how he dresses.

What are the best Christmas gift sets for men?

Pendant gift sets are the most popular: a pendant like the North Star, Compass or Wing with a matching chain and bracelet, boxed and ready to wrap. For a man who prefers a plain chain, the Cuban 4mm Gift Set pairs a chain with a matching bracelet.

What is a good Christmas present for a man under £30?

A slim chain, a cuff bracelet, a band ring or a cap. Our gifts under £30 edit collects the pieces that work as stocking fillers and Secret Santa gifts.

When should I order jewellery for Christmas?

As early as you can, and always before the last order dates on our shipping page. If you've left it late, an e-gift card arrives by email and can be printed or forwarded on Christmas Day.

Do CRAFTD gift sets come gift-boxed?

Yes. Our gift sets arrive in a CRAFTD gift box. For single pieces, add the luxury gift box, bag and wrapping kit at checkout.

What if I get the size wrong?

Most chains and bracelets come in a few standard sizes, and our guide to gifting men's jewellery explains how to pick one without asking him. If it doesn't fit, you can exchange it within our returns window.
