Ian Wright has teamed up with Marks & Spencer to pick his top Christmas gifting ideas to shop, including a ‘simple and classic’ waterproof jacket that’s under £100
Now we’re into December, Christmas Day suddenly seems a whole lot closer, which means the pressure is officially on to get your Christmas shopping done. If you’re in need of some inspiration, especially for the men in your life (who can be notoriously tricky to shop for) then Marks & Spencer is here to save the day.
The high street fave has teamed up with footballing legend Ian Wright to launch his new gift edit, and it’s got you covered for everyone on your list. Packed with great gifting ideas for men, not to mention Ian’s favourite choices to gift the rest of the family too, it’s a great place to pick up your gifts.

Speaking about the collaboration, Ian Wright said: “I love Christmas, and it’s been pure joy putting together a few of my favourite gift ideas with the lovely people at M&S. Everything in there is simple and classic, and I hope it helps people find the right thing for everyone on their list.”
One of our favourite items in Ian’s gift edit is the Shirt Collar Mac with Removable Bib which is a must-have for this time of year. Managing to be both stylish and timeless whilst still being practical, the jacket is £99 and is ideal for partners, brothers and dads – the perfect gift for everyone.
Coming in four colours and sizes small to XL it’s a great choice for anyone, whether they’re an outdoor lover looking for something to wear in unpredictable weather, or after something smart to wear on a drizzly commute to the office.
Shoppers praised the Shirt Collar Mac with Removable Bib, saying: “Bought this for my husband its great for this weather its not too heavy and waterproof.”
Another wrote: “You can dress it up dress it down, looks great. It’s warm, comfy and sleek. Good price point too, though also did get 20% off – bonus!”
The only negative review said: “Ordered two coats as M&S are inconsistent with their sizes. 1st coat was tight under the arms and across the shoulders, sleeves were short. 2nd coat was spot on both were XXL. This seems to be an ongoing occurrence with menswear.”
Some other great options include Hawes & Curtis’ Navy Rain Mac with Removable Lining which has a removable lining, although is pricier at £219. Meanwhile at MandM, the French Connection Mens Zip Puffer Jacket currently has a huge discount, down from £179.99 to £39.99.
Also in Ian’s gifting edit are items he wore in his campaign video for the edit, including a £99 Pure Cashmere Crew Neck Jumper which would make another great gift for the men in your life. Made from 100% pure cashmere, it’s sophisticated and cosy – ideal for the festive season.
For something a little more budget-friendly, or as a great stocking filler, the Fair Isle Scarf is £20 and another top pick of Ian’s. Coming in navy and red with a classic fair isle print, it brings a touch of the slopes to your winter wardrobe.
