There's something about a drinking game set that just guarantees a good night. Whether it's a birthday, a lads' weekend, or just a Friday that needs livening up, this one delivers.

Sometimes the best gift is just a solid excuse to sit on the sofa and laugh for hours. A comedy DVD set gives them exactly that.

He probably already has a pile of books he keeps meaning to read, but a genuinely funny novel is always worth adding to the stack. It's the kind of thing he'll actually pick up.

He'll swear it's just for fun, but within a week he'll have a full tournament bracket going and a strict no-fouling rule in place. A mini basketball hoop set is the kind of thing that turns a boring afternoon into a genuinely competitive one.

He's probably already got a favourite mug, but a custom tumbler with something a bit cheeky printed on it? That's one he'll actually use.

A custom coaster set is the kind of thing he'll actually use every day — and having his name or a silly inside joke on it makes it just that bit more entertaining.

There's something brilliant about a board game that makes grown men lose their dignity a little. Gets competitive fast.

A personalised flask is already a solid gift, but getting it engraved with something genuinely funny makes it so much better. Whether it's an inside joke or a ridiculous nickname, he'll actually use this one.

If he's got a twisted sense of humour, a dark fiction book is the kind of gift he'll actually read — and probably laugh at in all the wrong places.

He'll finally have an excuse to take over the living room floor — and honestly, no one's going to stop him.

Whether he actually plays the sport or just watches it from the sofa, a proper sports kit is always going to go down well.

Every man needs a decent bottle opener - it's one of those things you don't think about until you don't have one. Get him one that'll actually make him smile when he reaches for it.

A personalised poker set he'll actually want to show off on game night.

He's probably been using the same tatty keyring for years. Time to swap it out for something that'll actually make him smile every time he's fumbling for his keys.

Most men who say they're not fussy about beer are lying — they absolutely have a preference. A craft beer gift set gives them something genuinely interesting to try rather than just another four-pack from the corner shop.

A retro style popcorn maker is one of those things blokes genuinely get excited about. It looks great on the worktop, makes proper cinema-style popcorn, and gives them a solid reason to never leave the sofa on film night.

A candy floss machine for a grown adult man is exactly as ridiculous as it sounds — and that's precisely why it works.

Whether he actually thinks he can sing or absolutely knows he can't, a portable karaoke machine is going to get used.
