Fashion Spree Outlet Centre
In Partnership with Fashion Spree
Online shopping might seem convenient, but it can be unreliable — you never know when a package will vanish into post office limbo. With Christmas Day fast approaching, why even take that chance? Instead, head to Fashion Spree, where gifts for every member of the family await. Within this warehouse-sized shopping destination, you’ll find a copious selection of men’s and women’s clothing, sports gear, activewear, watches, suits, shoes, outdoor essentials, leather goods, and homewares, at outlet prices.
Fashion Spree has recently taken off among savvy shoppers, and it’s easy to see why. There’s an embarrassment of riches when it comes to stores, products, and deals waiting to be discovered. Retailers include Calvin Klein, FILA, Politix, MANCAVE, Tommy Hilfiger, PUMA, Converse, adidas, ASICS, and Superdry, to name just a few. The brand names are spot on, as are the prices, so as we launch headfirst into the Christmas season, there’s never been a better time to rediscover the benefits of in-person shopping with Christmas entertainment, wrapping services and free parking.

Arriving after years of development, this rejigged version of the classic 990 silhouette is certain to win over even the harshest of critics.

Better yet, the hardware is affixed with durable riveting, while the lenses are made of mineral glass, which provides better optical clarity and scratch resistance.

The Longines Conquest range has been helping to define the Swiss watch brand since 1954 and continues to do so with this latest iteration. Equal parts sporty and elegant, the piece emanates with a pure spirit of adventure like so many of its brethren have done before.

The watch’s round case of stainless steel is flanked by a ceramic bezel and covered in scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on both sides. Flip over the bold and symmetrical display to discover an exhibition caseback and an in-house self-winding mechanical movement.

Orbitkey Key Organiser – Best Gift for Men Under $50
Price: from AU$43.50
When you’re looking for great gift ideas for men under $50 we always recommend looking for something innovative, easy to use, and practical for everyday use. Finding a gift that ticks all three of these boxes can be difficult, but the Orbitkey manages to do it all while reminding the man in your life just how thoughtful you are every time he reaches for his keys.
Made from natural top-grain leather, the Orbitkey’s construction is top-quality and coated with a protective finish to enhance durability when it’s hanging from your belt or mixing around in your pocket.

UE Wonderboom 3 – Best Gift for Men Under $200
Price: from AU$149.95
You’ve probably heard of the UE Boom, but this little guy packs a similar punch for under $200. The UE Wonderboom 3 has become our office speaker of choice thanks to a crisp room-filling sound with powerful bass. It’s remarkable what kind of audio you can get out of such a small, portable speaker.
Headline figures for this portable speaker are great too, with up to 14 hours of battery life, IP67 dust and water resistance, and drop-proof construction.
Priced at AU$149.95 we think this makes the perfect gift for men who want something they can use in the home office, on the job site, or anywhere they want to take the music with them. We’ve used this portable speaker camping, travelling, and adventuring across multiple countries. You just never know when you’re going to need it, but you’ll be thankful when you have it!

Sony WH1000-XM5 – Best Gift for Men Under $500
Price: from AU$548
We get to try a tonne of great products here at Man of Many, but few do we recommend as often as the Sony WH1000-XM5 noise-cancelling headphones. Forget the Apple Airpods Max, these are the best consumer-grade noise-cancelling headphones on the market with near-silent noise cancellation, great audio quality, and the comfiest earcups in the game.
Maybe the most impressive feature of all is the battery life of up to 40 hours (30 hours with Bluetooth and noise-cancelling enabled). The perfect travel headphones, they beat the Bose QuietComfort 45 (24 hours) and Air Pods MAx (up to 20 hours) by a long shot. We brought them on a recent trip to the UK and didn’t have to charge them once between our home in Sydney and the hotel in London.
Often found priced under AU$500 the headphones are available in white, black, and a new midnight blue colour which is or pick of the bunch.
Tissot PRX – Best Gift for Men Under $1000
Price: from AUD$610
The Tissot PRX is still one of the best watches you can buy for men under AU$1000 thanks to its vintage sports-meets-dress watch aesthetic and reliable quartz movement. We go hands-on with great watches every week here at Man of Many, but we often find ourselves throwing the Quartz PRX back on when we just want something stylish, simple, and timeless. It gets the approval of watch lovers everywhere, no matter where they sit on the brand spectrum.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can spend a bit more and get yourself an automatic Powermatic 80 PRX, which is priced at AUD$1,150, or the flashy Chronograph Automatic, which is priced at AUD$3,050. Our pick of the bunch has to be the quartz, though, for its affordable price point.

Remington HC4400AU Curved Blade Technology
Price: AUD$129.95
If personal grooming and style is something the man in your life prioritises, then Remington has you covered. The iconic shaver brand’s curved blade kit is perfect for the man who wants to stay sharp without visiting the barber every week. With this product, he can trim his own hair at home quickly and easily, courtesy of the revamped design’s ultra-ergonomic constrcution.
The Remington HC4400AU kit is best-known for its 70mm curved blade, which achieves a cleaner, more even cut in less time, following the natural contours of the head. According to the brand, this leads to 57 per cent greater blade coverage—how they measure that, we aren’t sure but one thing we are certain of is that any man with one of these shavers will have the freshest dome in the neighbourhood.
MYRQVIST Mölle Loafer
Price: AUD$319
If it’s time your man traded the sneakers for something a little classier, these loafers from MYRQVIST are the ultimate gift. The Mölle is a sophisticated tassel loafer crafted from black calf leather and finished with a single leather sole. On the top, you’ll find an apron front design that oozes elegance and exudes confidence. Perfect for any formal occasion or a day at the office.
Apple Watch Ultra – Best Tech Gift
Price: from AUD$1,299
If you’re an Apple user looking for the best smartwatch on the market to gift the man in your life then the Watch Ultra is your bet. Smartwatches are a great gift idea for men that they’ll use every day to track their fitness, notifications, and general health.
We’d save time mentioning the features the Apple Watch Ultra doesn’t have, but some of our favourites include Stride Length, Ground Contact Time, Vertical Oscillation and Running Power. Not to mention all the new workout views, such as Segments, Splits and Elevation. Not an athlete? You’ll appreciate the long-lasting battery life of up to 36 hours.
Gozney Roccbox Portable Pizza Oven – Best Gift for a Foodie
Price: from AUD$799
Not a week goes by without cooking a pizza or two in our Gozney Roccbox. The ultimate gift for a foodie in your life, the Roccbox is one of the best pizza ovens on the market. A segment-defining product, it’ll cook you pizza, steak, chicken, wings, or any of the Gozney recipes found online without much of a learning curve.
In fact, the only foodie gift that even comes close is the much larger and more expensive Gozney Dome that’s better suited for large outdoor entertaining venues. After testing the Gozney Roccbox for ourselves, we found it to be a far more cost-effective option for couples and those without the space required to set up a full-size Dome. We highly recommend the Roccbox if you’re living in an apartment or what to take the Roccbox away with you for weekends and camping.
Watch us cook some Korean chicken wings in the Gozney Roccbox on our Instagram.
Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de Parfum – Best Luxury Gift
Price: from AUD$285
It makes sense that our top luxury gift ideas for men would also be one of our favourite luxury fragrances for men. Le Labo Santal 33 is up there with the greatest fragrances ever created, and while expensive, it will have the man in your life smelling a million dollars with notes of cardamom, iris, violet, Australian sandalwood, cedarwood, papyrus, and musk.
To describe this scent in a sentence would be unfair, but as it warms on the skin we found it musky, slightly smoky, and addictive. In the words of Le Labo “Imagine sitting in solitude on the rugged, wide plains of the American West, firelight on your face, indigo-blue night skies.”
Frank Green Ceramic Reusable Cup – Best Sustainable Gift
Price: from AUD$44.95
We’re all trying to do our little bit for the planet these days, even if it’s something small like swapping from coffee cups to reusable bottles. Enter Frank Green and their reusable coffee cups.
After trialling a number of these cups, this is our favourite thanks to its no-spill lid, triple-wall vacuum insulated construction that keeps your drink hot (or cold), colour, and choice of sizes. We opted for the standard 10oz / 295ml cup when we got ours. Best of all, it fits standard car cupholders.
Pro-Ject Primary E Bluetooth Turntable – Best Music Lovers Gift
Price: from AUD$708
A turntable that will play vinyl music straight to your Bluetooth speakers, does a gift for music lovers get any better? Well, maybe a set of studio reference speakers… but we’re being realistic on price here and at AUD$708 the Pro-Ject Primary E Bluetooth Turntable is sleek, easy to use, sounds great, and is made to the standards of the more expensive turntables available from this leading brand.
To seal the deal, the Pro-Ject Primary E even comes with its own counterweight and anti-skating weight pre-set, so all you have to do is plug it in and let Skynard rip. It couldn’t be easier.
Carhartt Firm Duck Apron – Best BBQ Gift for Men
Price: from AUD$105

Constructed from 12-ounce 100% cotton material this will last your man a lifetime and then some.
Titleist Pro V1 – Best Golfing Gift for Men

For the latest edition, the Titleist Pro V1 improves on performance once again. Flying lower with less spin in the long game, but retaining the great short-game greenside spin we’ve come to love from this ball. It doesn’t claim to be the most expensive or best ball in golf, but it’s a reliable old friend that any man would love to play with.
Levi’s 501 Original
Price: from AUD$129.95
The Levi’s 501 Original Jeans are a style staple and icon. When you close your eyes and think of “jeans” these are the ones that come to mind, and for good reason, they’ve been around since 1873 and were invented by the man himself Levi Strauss. With a quality construction that’s made from 14.39-ounce denim, there’s a reason these have a cult following amongst fashion conscience men. They’re classic, they look good, and they’ll last you a decade or more! Grab a pair for yourself or a loved one this Christmas.
R.M. Williams Comfort Craftsman Boot
Price: from AUD$649
You already knew these would find their way into our list of best gift ideas for men in one way or another. The only thing better than owning a pair yourself is gifting them to a family member or loved one who’s yet to experience the versatility of this national treasure. When it comes to ‘quality’ the R.M. Williams Comfort Craftsman Boot is up there with the best anywhere in the world. Most notably, the use of yearling leather for supreme pliability, a good year welted sole that can be repaired for life, and a chisel square toe that’s stylish and suitable for all occasions.
Lacoste Men’s L.12.12 Classic Polo Shirt

Made from 100% cotton, it’s comfortable and features a classic fit that suits all body types.
Golden Goose Ball Star Leather Sneakers
Price: from AUD$660
While we thought distressed sneakers were just another fashion trend, it’s been over a decade since Golden Goose hit the scene, and their lineup of distressed-look sneakers is only getting stronger. Enter their latest offering, the Ball Star leather sneakers that feature another fan favourite’s hallmarks. We love the soft leather construction on the upper alongside the leather lining and insole designed for ultimate comfort and style. Made in Italy, these are the pure definition of quality footwear.
Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Parfum
Price: from AU$130
Give the gift of smelling irresistible with Giorgio Armani’s Acqua di Giò Parfum, a powerful and mesmerising scent characterised by the harmonious blend of incense and the iconic marine notes that have made Acqua di Giò such a classic. Like charisma and mystery distilled and bottled, this scent recalls scenes of rugged landscapes meeting the power of a vast ocean, ending with a sense of exhilarating yet luxurious freshness.
The only thing that can match the craftsmanship of this scent is the bottle that contains it. The sleek yet masculine form has been meticulously crafted in tones of graduated black and thoughtfully designed to captivate the senses and enhance the overall experience of this remarkable fragrance. An impressive blend of elegance and sophistication, Giorgio Armani’s Acqua di Giò Parfum is the perfect gift for those with discerning tastes.
Samsonite C-Lite Spinner 75cm
Price: AUD$699.30
When it comes to gifts you take with you for life, a quality piece of luggage is hard to beat. The ultimate in style and security, travel cases help to keep your items protected and (hopefully) your next trip through the airport a little smoother. The C-Lite Spinner from Samsonite is arguably the most versatile piece of luggage we have come across, courtesy of its robust outer shell and double-wheel construction. While there are a range of different sizes to choose from, the 75cm option is our pick. If your special someone has itchy feet, this is a great gift to capitalise on their wanderlust.
Fujifilm X100VI Digital Camera
Price: from AU$2,899
Don’t be fooled by the Fujifilm X100VI’s tactile buttons and analog-style exterior; this popular camera is a digital powerhouse. Effortlessly portable and painstakingly robust, it squeezes an impressive host of modern performance specs into its lightweight aluminium body. An advanced hybrid viewfinder, built-in five-axis image stabilisation system, and two-way tilting LCD display are just a few of the many glorious features lying in wait. Plus, the camera’s vintage design just looks freaking cool. If you know any passionate vloggers, photographers, videographers, or content creators, then you’ve just discovered the ultimate gift.
Cosmo Crystal Burgundy
Price: from AUD$925
We take our sunnies quite seriously here at Man of Many, so pick these up with confidence. Putting a modern update on the classic Wellington frame, each pair is forged in Japan from the highest-quality acetate and titanium. Akoni has also imbued the frames in the new colour of crystal burgundy, which blends expertly with the dark-blue lenses and white-gold details. Costly, perhaps, but these beauties are worth every cent.
Things to Consider for Gifts for Men
When it comes to gift ideas for men, simply wrapping a bow on a new fragrance isn’t quite enough. In fact, if you want to get the special occasion right, there are a few things you need to consider:
- Price: Perhaps the most obvious consideration, the price will inevitably play a factor in your purchasing decision. While you may want to splash out for a significant birthday or gifting event, more often than not, you’ll be aiming around the $50-$100 mark. To get the most out of your alcohol gift idea, don’t be afraid to shop around for the best price.
- Interests: Before you pull the trigger on a cheap gift, it’s important that you consider the giftee’s interests. While some ideas might be frugal, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are good.
