Men and their BBQs go hand in hand, but in Hong Kong it can be hard to find the space for the full-blown barbecue of their dreams. So this Christmas, get him the ultimate Hong Kong-appropriate cooking tool. The Lotus Grill (starting at $1,880) is a smokeless, portable, award-winning, charcoal BBQ. You and the lucky man in question, will be able to BBQ practically anywhere with this bit of kit – the park, beach, junk, boat, even on the tiniest balcony. You can even use it indoors, providing a window is left open for proper ventilation. The integrated fan means that the charcoal only needs three minutes to heat up and then it’s ready to go (plus, it produces minimal smoke). If you bought him a Lotus Grill last year and this year you’re short of ideas, you can add a couple of new accessories to his kit, a pizza stone, a 2 sided-teppanyaki plate, fondue or hot pot set, temperature controlled lid and a Lotus Grill frying pan.

If you’re ever lacking in present inspiration it’s worth checking out Gift Something. We guarantee your basket won’t stay empty for long! This website prides itself on helping you find the right gift for the right person. So we checked out what’s on offer for men, and found plenty of great ideas. We particularly like The Men’s Society Party Season Survival Kit ($399). It’s perfect for guys who like to work hard and play hard (we’re not judging, honest). This handy little tin contains everything necessary to recover from the excesses of a Christmas night (or three!) out. There’s a toothbrush and toothpaste for freshening up and some eye cream to hide those tell-tale bags. There’s also an eye mask to aid sleep, no matter what time of the night (or day) the evening ends, as well as a restorative bath oil. With free next day delivery to Hong Kong’s metropolitan areas, what are you waiting for? A word of warning for the ladies though – you may end up picking out a little something for yourself too while browsing on this site.
