Now, most of these last minute Christmas gift ideas are meant to be for girls, but you can adapt them for all your male relative and friends.

For example, instead of a makeup bag, you can get a toiletry bag full of travel size products. Or instead of  a cookie mix jar, you can do a minibar in a jar.

Another idea is to fill up a basket or jar with skin care products for men. Like moisturizer, a chapstick, after shave lotion, etc.
