It’s that time of year again. The decorations are up, the calendar is filling, and suddenly you’re feeling the pressure to find the best Christmas gifts for the men in your life. Whether it’s your dad, your brother, your partner, your boss, or that mate who insists he “doesn’t need anything”, the search for the perfect present doesn’t need to be stressful. This year, we’ve made it easy.
Here at DMARGE, we’ve spent the last twelve months testing, reviewing and experiencing some of the coolest gear on the planet. From the best luxury watches for men, to premium grooming essentials, high-performance running shoes, whisky worth celebrating, and even the best TV in Australia for sports fans, this year’s list is packed with genuinely impressive products that men will actually use, appreciate and brag about.
Whether you’re shopping for a man who trains, travels, entertains, surfs, collects watches, plays tennis, loves whisky or simply wants to look good and feel good, this is the most comprehensive Christmas gift guide for men in 2025. These are the gifts that show thought, taste and effort… not last-minute panic from the servo.
Suntory Yamazaki 18 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky
Imagine your dad’s face on Christmas morning when he finally puts down the oven gloves after a morning spent preparing the family feast. Instead of unwrapping another tragic bundle of novelty socks or a mug with the logo of the footy team that let him down again this year, he tears open the paper to find a bottle from one of the most decorated whisky houses on the planet.
Yamazaki 18 tastes like the real deal from the moment it hits the glass, with a rich flavour profile that doesn’t sit too heavy. After just one sip, deep dark-fruit notes, polished oak and a slow-building spice remind you why this whisky sits in a different league.
The House of Suntory just made history at the International Spirits Challenge, with Yamazaki winning the top prize three years in a row. No other whisky brand has ever done it. This is the kind of gift that tells him you didn’t panic buy at the servo. It tells him he deserves something remarkable. It tells him he raised you well.
ASICS MEGABLAST™
This is built for the guy who’s finally taking running seriously. Not just the guy who has spent the majority of 2025 talking about signing up for a half marathon and liking everyone else’s stories, but the one who wakes up, grabs his runners and actually hits the tarmac.
These are the ASICS MEGABLAST™, engineered around high-rebound cushioning that produces bouncy, responsive takeoff every single stride. At the base, ASICS has introduced its signature FF BLAST cushioning, with a rocker-shaped sole that pushes energy forward effortlessly. It feels fast, light and strangely supportive, even deep into a long run.
If your dad wants to shift the dad-bod and actually commit to performance, these will quietly get him there. Click through, lock in your size, and start earning your beer calories the honest way.
Van Heusen Linen Cotton Blend Shirt
Every bloke wants to look effortless in summer. Unfortunately, sweat patches and poorly fitted shirts tend to sabotage that dream as we get into the warmer months. Van Heusen’s Linen Cotton Blend Shirt fixes the entire situation with one garment. It breathes, moves, cools and refuses to crease into chaos by midday.
It is smart enough for the office or the Christmas lunch table, yet relaxed enough for rooftop beers, giving every guy a flattering silhouette without being clingy, both tucked and untucked.
We’re big fans of Van Heusen’s collection; you will be too.
SkinCeuticals P-TIOX Peptide Serum
SkinCeuticals P-TIOX is built for the stage in every man’s life when the late nights and early starts are slowly starting to catch up with him. It’s no one’s fault. Just the inevitable.
P-TIOX is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of nine wrinkle types by up to 20% and was formulated precisely for blokes who want visible results without the drama. This is the quiet but powerful skincare upgrade that makes strangers say, “You look well,” instead of “Long week?”
Powered by an advanced peptide complex of hexapeptide and dipeptide, P-TIOX works by supporting collagen and elastin production while hydrating and smoothing the surface of the skin. The formula is amped up with 5% PHA to boost natural cell turnover, plus 5% niacinamide and laminaria extract to enhance radiance and strengthen the skin barrier. In short, your skin’s hydration climbs, and your face looks healthier, fresher, plumper.
Perfect for the bloke who wants to age like a CEO, not a cricket ball.
Wilson Blade 100 V9 Tennis Racket
Whether dad wants to improve his topspin forehand, or finally win a set against the neighbour who won’t shut up about his backhand slice, the Wilson Blade 100 V9 Tennis Racket gives him that extra fighting chance.
It is lighter than a traditional Blade, more forgiving on the arm, and offers ridiculous control when strung properly. The next generation of carbon fibre frames that are purpose built for power, spin and performance.
1800 Tequila® Reposado
Aged in American and French oak, 1800 Tequila Reposado is the smooth, confident alternative to a single malt whisky. It’s true. Whether you’re looking for a new spirit to serve neat or in premium margaritas for Christmas lunch, 1800 Tequila Reposado has notes of caramel, spice and vanilla, perfect for when ordinary gatherings turn into grand productions and instantly elevate the backyard barbecue.
Perfect for dads who take pride in hosting, or brothers who suddenly think they are mixologists after a couple of drinks.
Garmin Forerunner® 970
The Garmin Forerunner 970 is designed for the moment in every guy’s life when exercise inevitably becomes his defining personality. Trust me, you could have worse. For runners, the Garmin tracks performance properly, rather than letting you guess during your next training block.
Garmin call it the most intuitive and advanced Forerunner they’ve ever produced. Training Readiness evaluates your sleep, stress and recovery to decide how hard you should go. Garmin Coach adapts daily training plans for running, cycling and triathlon. Full-colour mapping makes navigating unfamiliar roads and chaotic trails effortless. The Morning Report lays out sleep quality and recovery before you’ve even had coffee. Battery life is outrageous and the built-in speaker means you can answer calls mid-stride without breaking rhythm. It is a performance hub for real athletic intent.
This is perfect for blokes chasing PBs, dads returning to fitness, or anyone looking to hit their fitness goals in 2026.
Hisense 75" ULED MiniLED U8QAU 4K QLED 165Hz Smart TV
The moment we unboxed the 75-inch Hisense U8QAU in the DMARGE office, everything else looked embarrassingly inadequate, with sharper colour and smoother picture that made every Oscar Piastri podium feel cinematic.
Powered by Hisense’s Mini-LED PRO backlighting and Hi-View AI Engine PRO, the U8QAU recalibrates every frame in real time for skin tones, shadows, and detail that pops with ridiculous clarity.
This is perfect for the bloke who wants Christmas Day cricket to come alive in the front room.
Apple iPhone 17 Pro
Apple has doubled down on power this year with the new iPhone 17 Pro and the results are instantly noticeable compared to its previous releases.
Mainly the camera system, which takes a dramatic step forward, packing three 48MP Fusion cameras on the back, including its longest ever Telephoto lens capable of 8x optical-quality zoom and the equivalent of 200mm.
If he wants speed, battery life and a pro camera in his pocket, this is the move. It’s the perfect Christmas upgrade for a man who expects his tech to work harder than he does.
Philips i9000 Prestige Ultra
The Philips i9000 Prestige Ultra delivers the brand’s closest shave yet, cutting 0.08mm below the skin’s surface for longer-lasting smoothness that delivers genuine next-day smoothness.
The aluminium body feels premium, balanced and intentional, while Smart SkinIQ Pro technology adapts to beard density and skin condition automatically, adjusting power and comfort in real time.
If you want him to look clean, confident and sharp every day, this is the upgrade he didn’t know he needed. Add to cart and give the closest shave of his life.
Breitling Heritage B31 Automatic 40 Kelly Slater
The Superocean Heritage B31 Automatic 40 Kelly Slater pairs vintage diver aesthetics with a cutting-edge new movement, offering 500 collectors a rare chance to own a watch that’s as technically serious as it is effortlessly cool and a little bit GOATy.
Visually, it nails that confident, coastal feel without falling into cliché. The deep blue dial features a subtle tropical motif, paired with a navy ceramic bezel and polished steel case. It comes on either a Milanese bracelet or a water-friendly rubber strap, both comfortable and easy to swap depending on whether your day involves the office, a surf, or a very good seafood lunch. It’s the perfect piece for watch lovers, surfers, and anyone who appreciates a diver that feels genuinely different.
ASUS ProArt PZ13
The ASUS ProArt PZ13 is the creative machine for men who want to stop making excuses and start producing serious work. At just 0.85kg, it slips into a backpack and disappears, yet packs a Snapdragon X Plus processor, a Qualcomm Adreno GPU and a 3K OLED touchscreen display that looks like it was stolen from a Hollywood colour suite.
A seriously impressive piece of kit with 16GB RAM and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, this thing devours Photoshop, Lightroom, Final Cut workflows, and long export sessions with complete ease. Seriously, get around it.
Antica Formula®
First crafted in 1786 in Turin, Antica Formula is often considered the godfather of Italian vermouth, often seen on the back shelf of your favourite bartender’s favourite bar.
Made from select white wines from Puglia, Romagna and Sicily, it’s infused with a secret botanical blend that includes vanilla, saffron and citrus peel. The result is rich, aromatic and unmistakably luxurious, the kind of drink that makes you sit a little taller when you pour it.
This Christmas, skip the rum and coke and pour your old man a proper drink.
Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 McLaren Edition
The Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 McLaren Edition is where elite British audio meets racing-born engineering, combining Bowers & Wilkins’ signature acoustic expertise with a McLaren-inspired design aesthetic.
The 12mm Carbon Cone drivers deliver powerful, detailed sound, while the 24-bit wireless connection and aptX Lossless support ensure you’re hearing music the way it was actually recorded, not compressed into oblivion.
DMARGE Icons Motorsport Collection Hat - Tyre Supplier
The DMARGE Icons Motorsport Edition leans straight into the swagger of 1960s racing culture, when pit lanes smelt like burning rubber and bravado was measured in podium champagne.
Designed in Sydney by our team, this hat takes inspiration from the era when cash, chaos and courage blended beautifully, creating the most stylish chapter motorsport has ever seen. This is our tongue-in-cheek tribute to the days when tyre smoke and sponsorships ruled everything.

Nike Vaporfly 4
Engineered for better speed and efficiency across longer distances, the Nike Vaporfly 4s are the world’s most influential super shoe, trusted by elite marathon runners for the world’s biggest events.
With a carbon plate that combines with sculpted foam to propel momentum forward aggressively, every stride feels elastic and natural. Every kilometre feels less punishing. This is for the dad chasing his next level
Waterdrop All-Purpose Thermo Bottle
If you’ve been watching the AO recently and getting distracted by the water bottles players have been using on court, you’re not alone. Waterdrop has quietly become the hydration status symbol of elite sport, appearing in slow-mo replays, courtside interviews and every viral moment that matters. It’s Danish-designed, beautifully minimal, and crafted to keep drinks ice-cold or steaming hot for hours without losing its composure under pressure.
I’ve had my bottle for about a year now and I can say with some confidence I’ve never been more hydrated. Take it to the office, the tennis court, the sauna, or straight into summer. Just take it.
LOEWE 7 Elixir 100ml
We get a lot of fragrances through the DMARGE office, but the LOEWE 7 Elixir has always been the one that doesn’t seem to smell like anything else in the room. With patchouli, red pepper berries and amber, combined with Spanish Rockrose, it’s a deeply masculine fragrance designed for men that’s somewhat dark, intriguing, but something completely unique.
This bottle is exclusively available for confident men (or those who want to be).
adidas Argentina 26 Home Jersey
If you’re like me and struggle to rock the jersey of any rival team (club and country, included), then the next generation of kits from adidas is the perfect gateway into a far more stylish era of football fashion. One where it doesn’t matter if you’ve never been to Rome, the 1993 kit is an absolute vibe and a must for any summer fit.
This is how I’m starting to feel about the latest World Cup jerseys from adidas. In particular, the defending champions, Argentina. Cut in adidas’ new athletic profile, the jersey fits comfortably without clinging, with breathable AEROREADY fabric that keeps body temperature under control in summer heat. The iconic sky-blue stripes carry a refreshed, contemporary feel, with subtle gold detailing throughout, making this one perfect for the midweek kickabout and Sunday arvo drinks in equal measure.
For blokes who love football culture and want something better than another plain tee, this is the one for you.
'Habits of High Performers' by James Laughlin
James Laughlin’s Habits of High Performers is the blueprint for men who want to level up properly. Not vaguely. Not someday. Properly.
Laughlin breaks down the seven principles shared by the world’s most successful operators, drawing from his work as a world champion drummer, leadership strategist, and mental skills coach to athletes, CEOs and billion-dollar organisations. It’s practical and easy to digest. Something that every guy should consider this Christmas.
TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Vegas Edition
TAG Heuer has taken its most iconic square-case watch and thrown it straight into the heart of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. As a mad Formula 1 fan, I’ll struggle to find a release I love more than this.
Built from lightweight black DLC-coated titanium, it keeps the classic 39mm Monaco form factor but feels more modern on the wrist. Across the dial, TAG has brought the Strip, with a violet-to-blue gradient skeleton dial that shifts under light and reveals TAG’s in-house Calibre TH20-00, delivering an 80-hour power reserve and chronograph functionality with genuine theatre.
Limited to just 600 pieces worldwide, this is a watch built for collectors, both established and would-be.
Heist Watch Cleaner Kit
Another essential watch accessory for a man who loves his timepieces is this watch cleaning kit. Heist is an all-natural watch and jewellery cleaner that’s gentle on your precious goods. Each travel-friendly, resealable kit is perfect for all watch types, even the trusty Apple Watch which is often the worst offender when it comes to everyday dirt.
Whether he’s rocking a Casio or a Rolex, a Heist watch cleaner is a thoughtful Christmas present.
NikeCourt Victory Men's Dri-FIT Tennis Top
It’s tennis season in Australia, and that means more sun and sweaty rallies, when a cotton tee is not going to cut it for baseline warfare.
The NikeCourt Victory Men’s Dri-FIT top fixes that instantly. It’s breathable and stretchy, so still manages to keep the sweat off you whilst fitting your frame. It’s flattering without being too clingy, especially when you’re chasing down a wild overhead. The perfect quick gift for tennis lovers.
Birkenstock Arizona
I’ve had a pair of Birkenstocks on my feet all year and I don’t think there’s a single sandal I’d replace them with. The Arizona is still the king of effortless summer footwear, so with the season update of a corduroy-embossed Dark Tea version, Birkenstock has added a touch of luxury to the midweek beach run.
Underneath, you still get the signature Birkenstock comfort system: a sculpted footbed that supports arches and distributes weight properly. They’re soft, sturdy, and mould to your feet over time, giving them that personalised, lived-in feel every bloke secretly loves. Pair these with swimmers or denim shorts for that classic Aussie look.
