Written by the previously exasperated — now smugly confident — Best Girlfriend Ever

I’ll be honest: I had officially reached the “I give up” stage of Christmas shopping. If there was an award for having the world’s most impossible boyfriend to buy for, mine would win it. I tried everything — browsing online late at night, scrolling endless lists of “thoughtful gifts for men”, Googling “what can I buy my boyfriend that has everything?” and even wandering around shops in Dublin praying for inspiration.

Nothing.

Every idea felt like a repeat of last year: socks, jocks, novelty mugs, aftershave he already owns, or those “helicopter lesson vouchers” that sound exciting… but let’s be honest — they never get used.

And when you’re running close to Christmas week, you desperately search for last minute gifts in Ireland that aren’t tacky or meaningless.

But then — I struck gold.
Not cute gold jewellery. Not tech gadgets.
Actual useful, thoughtful, premium gifts he’ll definitely use.

Where?
A-Z Hire — the most unexpectedly brilliant place in Dublin to find genuinely unique gifts for men who have everything.

I could have gotten everything shipped, but honestly? Their Walkinstown location was so convenient that I just collected the gifts in store. No stress. No delivery cut-offs. No disasters.

And suddenly… I was no longer the exasperated girlfriend.
I was the smugly confident one who nailed Christmas.

🎁 The 5 Thoughtful, Last-Minute Gifts That Saved My Sanity

Using their list of Last Minute Christmas Gifts for the Person Who Has Almost Everything, I picked out five brilliant presents. These weren’t just random items — they’re genuinely practical, high-quality, and perfect for anyone searching for:

  • What can I buy my partner who has everything?

  • Last minute gifts in Ireland

  • Really thoughtful gift ideas for men

  • Useful Christmas presents for boyfriends or husbands

Here’s what I chose:

⭐ 1. STIHL Cordless Pressure Washer (My Personal Favourite)

This was my big winner. A cordless pressure washer sounds simple, but it is the thoughtful gift for any man who loves keeping his car, bike, patio or tools spotless. It’s portable, powerful, great for mobile cleaning, and unlike the usual socks… this will 100% get used.

This is the kind of meaningful gift that makes him think, “Wow… she really knows me.”

⭐ 2. HiKOKI Cordless Drill with Two 5Ah Batteries

If your husband, boyfriend, or partner is forever fixing something, planning a DIY project, or talking about “doing that shelf soon,” this is perfect.
Two batteries = no excuses and no delays.

A thoughtful present that signals:
I believe in your DIY ambitions. Now please build that thing you promised.

⭐ 3. STIHL Cordless Shears Kit

Lightweight, handy, and ideal for tidying lawn edges or garden borders.
A great gift for the man who likes a neat garden but doesn’t want heavy equipment.

Garden tools = unexpectedly romantic. Who knew?

⭐ 4. STIHL HSA 26 Shrub Cutter Kit

If he enjoys working outdoors or maintaining shrubs and hedges, this is a genuinely thoughtful, practical gift. Small, powerful, and extremely useful — not something he would think to buy himself.

Perfect if you want a meaningful gift idea that isn’t predictable.

⭐ 5. HiKOKI 3-Tool Cordless Combi Kit

This one screams “hero gift.” Three premium cordless tools in one bundle.
Ideal for DIY lovers, new homeowners, or anyone who enjoys having the right tool for every job.

This is the kind of present that makes men say, “Oh wow… that’s actually brilliant.”

🎯 Why These Are PERFECT for Men Who “Have Everything”

✔ Useful (not a gimmick)

✔ Thoughtful and personal

✔ Premium brands (STIHL & HiKOKI)
