Gifts for Him

This is a short edit built around two things men reliably use rather than display, which is usually the difference between a gift that gets opened and one that gets used. Audio and power is the first, covering open-ear bone conduction headphones that leave the ears clear for traffic and conversation while running or cycling, true wireless earbuds with noise cancelling for the gym and the commute, and power banks from a pocketable 5,000mAh wireless pack up to 20,000 and 24,000mAh units that will charge a laptop rather than just a phone. Workwear is the second, and it is the practical answer for anyone who works outdoors: holster pocket work trousers, hi-vis winter traffic jackets and waterproof over-trousers get worn daily and rarely get bought for oneself. Sports equipment rounds it out. On power banks the figure to compare is capacity in milliamp hours against output in watts, since a high capacity pack with low output will not fast-charge anything.

The range draws on the specialists rather than novelty gift lines, with AfterShokz and Shokz on OpenRun and OpenFit open-ear headphones and earbuds, Anker and Soundcore across power banks and noise cancelling earbuds, Portwest on work trousers and hi-vis jackets and Precision on footballs.
