If you're busy wracking your brains what to buy the man in your life for Christmas, here are some sites packed with interesting gift ideas.

You can't go wrong with quality accessories from legendary Mayfair tailor, Thomas Pink. Its site oozes sophistication with woven and patterned silk ties in dozens of colours (£47), casual and formal shirts, socks, collar bones and pink chequered boxer shorts. I love their cufflinks with classically simple silver ingots (£55) and enamel grey mosaic squares (£45).

Delivery takes about a week at an additional cost of £5 with complimentary gift-wrapping.

For the more trend-conscious male, Designer Menswear offers reductions of up to half price on Valentino, Armani, Versace, Moschino, Ralph Lauren and Gucci. The range changes constantly and you're bound to find something suitable. Like a Gucci belt (£59.98), Moschino boxer shorts (£17.99) or an Armani Jeans denim shirt (£79.99), all delivered on the next working day free of charge.

Something for a bachelor pad?

Ocean's well-planned site has a gift section with some good suggestions but you are probably better off shopping by room where you'll discover slate table mats (£14.95 each) and coasters (£14.95 for six), leather cushions (£29.95 and £34.95), brushed aluminium wall clocks (£39.95) and steel wine chillers (£44). The standard delivery service costs £3.95 and takes about five working days.

If you're stuck for inspiration, check out John Lewis, which is hard to beat for sheer variety of gift ideas.

Simply select the gift department and then click on gifts for him and you'll find hundreds of items all neatly arranged into categories such as executive, personal grooming, travel and fashion accessories.

Choose from leather driving gloves (£35), telescopic golf umbrellas (£20), iced vodka shot sets (£26.95) and Timberland watches (£75 to £99), plus gadgets and gizmos galore, cufflinks, pens and alcoholic gift sets, to mention just a few.

Your choice will be with you in three to five days, with £3.95 added to cover postage and packing.

For the man who really has everything, how about an experience of some kind?

Exhilaration specialises in days to remember of all kinds, from the action-packed (SWAT training day for £245 or survival weekend for £120) to the more relaxing (cricket at Lords with Mike Gatting (£169).

and dozens of driving options with Formula 1, minis, touring cars, Porsches, classic cars, offroaders, Ferraris and even tanks and diggers (from £49).

You'll be sent a gift pack with a personalised certificate and open-dated voucher to present on Christmas day.
