Gifts for Men: All the best gift >

Find the perfect gifts for any of the men in your life

So you've decided to buy someone a gift! Congratulations, you are a generous and beautiful soul.

Let us reward you by shouldering some of the burden of gift selection. We have trawled the world of presents, gifts and general treats to find the best gifts for men so you don't have to.

To make this nice and easy we've broken the gifts down into categories. We've also separated them based on price. Yeah, it was loads of work, so don't forget to write us a thank-you note when you're basking in the glory of your amazing gift.

Choosing the perfect gifts for men

Our price ranges are sensible too, there are no £1000 presents here instead we've opted for gifts less that £25, £50, £100 and finally £200. We've worked tirelessly to make sure that each of these is something genuinely useful too. So there's no niche nonsense that's exciting on the day you open it, but just clutters up the house after.

We've selected products from loads of tech categories, as well as slightly less tech categories - like beauty - which still have some amazing products that will thrill the geek in your life. We've broken all this down into wearables, kitchen, beauty, photography, entertainment and phone and tablet. There are some proper bargains in here too, including some tablets and phones that cost way less than you'd think.

We're focusing here on men, but of course there's plenty of gifts in here that will appeal to anyone in your life. We also have a guide aimed at women, which offers another huge batch of ideas, so use both and you will surely become the master of giving.

You might think that £25 doesn't get you much in the world of tech. Well, wrong, because tech is now both affordable and awesome at the same time. From headphones that perform far better than you'd ever imagine, to bargains in DVD and games that will blow your mind.

How Does Shipping on Amazon Work?

So how does Amazon get the stuff that you order from either one Amazon’s own product depots, or the (ware)house of a third-party seller, to your doorstep? More importantly, how fast can it do that, and how much does it cost you above and beyond what you paid for your merchandise in the first place? Read on and find out.

Shipping Services that Amazon Uses

Amazon usually uses the largest and most trusted courier services for its deliveries, including UPS, FedEx, and the U. S. Postal Service. However, it has also begun using other local and regional couriers to ship its goods, including:

APEX / ECMS Express ABF Freight System Inc. DHL Express i-parcel LaserShip Menlo Worldwide / UPS Supply Chain Solutions MSI OnTrac Parcel Pool

If you buy items from a third-party seller on Amazon, they may choose their own shipping options, as well.

Amazon Shipping Times

The time it takes to be shipped something you purchased on Amazon depends on whether you’re buying directly from Amazon or from a third party, what speed of shipping you choose, and where you live.

Direct from Amazon — Inside U. S.

Shipping to a location in the continental U. S. usually takes 4 or 5 business days with standard shipping, 2 business days with priority shipping, and 1 business day with express shipping.

Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico usually takes 3 to 7 business days with standard shipping, 2 to 5 business days with expedited shipping, and 1 to 4 business days with priority shipping.

Shipping to any other U. S. territory (e. g. Virgin Islands, Marshall Islands, American Samoa) usually takes 3 to 5 business days with standard shipping, or 1 to 4 business days with priority shipping.

Direct from Amazon — Outside U. S.

Shipping times to areas outside the U. S. vary by region and the shipping speed that you choose. For lists of these times, see this help section on Amazon global shipping times.

From a Third-Party Seller

NOTE: These times may vary by up to 2 days, as this is usually the time frame within which third-party sellers will ship their items after you have ordered them. They may also vary based on the individual seller’s policies, so be sure to read those in the seller’s profile.

Shipping to a location in North America usually takes 4 to 21 business days (but usually not more than 14) with standard shipping, 2 to 6 business days with expedited shipping, 2 business days with priority shipping, and 1 business day with express shipping.

Shipping to a location abroad usually takes 3 to 6 weeks with standard shipping (but may take 8 to 12 weeks if there are delays in clearing customs), and 3 to 7 business days with expedited shipping.

How much is shipping on Amazon?

In general, you can find shipping costs for an order on Amazon when you go to review it, underneath the Place Your Order button.

Beyond that, your shipping costs are affected by whether you’re inside or outside the U. S., the shipping speed that you choose, as well as whether you’re ordering merchandise directly from Amazon or from a third-party seller.

Inside U. S. Shipping Rates — Direct from Amazon

Amazon keeps relatively tight-lipped about how much it costs to ship items to people in the U. S. directly from Amazon, perhaps because of the amount of competition between courier services in America. As such, it does not explicitly list its shipping rates within the U. S., except to say that they are affected by the shipping speed that you select, as well as how large or heavy the items that you’re purchasing are. They also may be affected by how expensive the items you purchase are; if they’re expensive enough, you may be able to get Amazon to waive the shipping costs.

The shipping costs associated with third-party sellers below may give you a general guideline for these costs.

Outside U. S. Shipping Rates — Direct from Amazon

Shipping costs to areas outside the U. S. from Amazon vary not only by region, but by the type(s) of goods being shipped and the shipping speed chosen. For lists of these costs, see this help section on Amazon’s global shipping rates.

Inside U. S. Shipping Rates — From Third-Party Seller

Shipping to locations within the United States using standard shipping usually costs between $4 and $4.50 per item. Certain bulky items may cost an additional 50₵ per pound of weight.

Shipping to locations within the United States using expedited shipping usually costs between $6.20 and $7 per item. Certain bulky items may cost an additional $1 per pound of weight.

Priority shipping within the United States costs about $15 per item, and is restricted to certain non-bulky items such as books, CDs, vinyl records, VHS tapes, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs.

Express shipping within the United States costs about $20 per item, and is restricted to certain non-bulky items such as books, CDs, vinyl records, VHS tapes, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs.

Outside U. S. Shipping Rates — Third-Party Seller

Shipping to locations outside the U. S. using standard shipping usually costs about $15 per item. The only exception is books; they usually cost $17 per item weighing less than 1 lb., and $25 per item weighing more than 1 lb.

Shipping to locations outside the U. S. using expedited shipping usually costs about $46.50 per item, regardless of its type or weight.

So, to answer the two most frequently asked questions about shipping on Amazon:

How much is one-day shipping on Amazon?

Assuming that you live either in a U. S. territory or at least a country in North America, and have chosen either priority or express shipping (which are the two conditions necessary to potentially have an item shipped within one day), shipping will probably cost you between $15 and $20 per item.

How much is 2-day shipping on Amazon?

Again, assuming that you live somewhere in the U. S. (including overseas territories like Hawaii or the Virgin Islands) or North America in general, and are using either expedited or priority shipping (which are the two conditions that will likely get an order to you within two days), shipping will cost you between $6 and $15 per item.

And that’s everything you need to know about Amazon shipping. If you want some more information, check out our other articles on how to track your Amazon order and how to get free shipping.
