Our top picks
Best overall: FLOW Barware Twist Whisky Glasses and Stones Gift Set (£21.95). Presented in a wooden gift box, the set includes two weighted lead-free crystal glasses with a twist base, eight polished granite whisky stones, steel tongs and a storage pouch. A smart gift for a son in law who enjoys a dram.
Best budget: UGREEN FineTrack Tracker Tag (£7.99). A small tag for keys, a wallet or a bag that works with Apple's Find My app. Note that it is iPhone only and does not support Android. UGREEN says the replaceable battery lasts over two years and the alarm is 80dB.
Best for families: Ideal The 1% Club Board Game (£18.89). Based on the TV quiz show, the questions test logic and common sense rather than trivia. For three to six players aged 8 and up, so everyone can join in after Christmas dinner.
Other Christmas gifts for a son in law
Anker 313 Wireless Charger Stand (£13.99). A Qi-certified stand that charges in portrait or landscape. Anker says it delivers up to 10W for Samsung Galaxy and 7.5W for iPhone, and needs a 9V/2A adapter, which is not included, for best performance.
JUAUO 11-Piece BBQ Tool Set (£10.82). Stainless steel tongs, spatula, fork, basting brush, knife, four skewers and a cleaning brush in a carry case, ready for next summer's barbecues.
Philips Beard Trimmer 3000 Series (£29.99). Self-sharpening blades with rounded tips, a dial with 20 length settings from 0.5 to 10mm, a Lift&Trim comb and a fully waterproof design for easy cleaning.
What to look for in a Christmas gift for a son in law
Ask your son or daughter. They will know what he already owns, what phone he uses and whether he would prefer a gadget or a treat.
Check compatibility. The tracker tag only works with iPhones, so check his phone first. The charger works with Qi-compatible phones.
Keep it practical. If you do not know him well yet, useful gifts like a charger or BBQ tools are a safe choice.
Think about shared time. A board game or drinks gift can be enjoyed together, which can help a newer son in law feel part of the family.
Set a budget. Many families keep in-law gifts similar to what they spend on their own children, so nobody feels left out.
Bundle a set. The tracker tag, the BBQ set and the charger together came to £32.80 at the prices checked.
Prices were checked on Amazon UK on 12 October 2026 and can change at any time. Check the current price and delivery date on Amazon before you order, especially in the run-up to Christmas.
