Men are always particularly tricky to buy for. Whether they already own everything themselves, have tastes that push your budget’s limits, or only respond ‘I don’t know’ whenever they’re asked what they want, finding the right gift can be something of a challenge. While another pair of socks is probably a no-go, there’s no harm in taking some classic gift ideas and adding a bit of a luxurious twist to it to better suit the man in your life. With that in mind, here are a selection of easy to find gift ideas that can be discovered with a luxurious flair!
Shaving Equipment
Regardless of whether the man you are buying for rocks a beard or prefers a clean-shaven look, there are infinite possibilities for presents in the realm of personal grooming. Upgrade their shaving razor by finding a high-quality shaving set, such as those produced by Edwin Jagger, as the superior quality blade and brush will help them to achieve a much closer shave. When opting for a more luxurious brand, you’ll also be paying for a higher-quality design, meaning that the kit can happily take pride of place on the bathroom shelf. If you are buying for someone who follows a vegan lifestyle, then do check the product before you buy, as many high-end shaving brushes will be made using badger hair. Buying for a man who likes to wear a bit of stubble? Perhaps it is time for their electronic shaver to get a bit of an upgrade instead!
Grooming Products
If you think they’re set with the shaving devices, then there are plenty of other equally luxurious shaving accessories that you can bestow upon them as smaller gifts. The men’s grooming product industry has really taken off in recent years, so there is no shortage of products to choose from. From shaving creams to beard oils, there is something for every man, whether they are ready to embrace better self-care or not! Classic British style can be found in the likes of Taylor of Bond Street products, such as shaving cream or soap, whereas numerous indie beard oil brands can better suit the younger gentleman.
Whisky
There’s certainly an air of sophistication around a quality whisky. The image of it being swirled around in a crystal tumbler in the hands of a gentleman helps lend the drink to the idea of a luxurious life.
Luxurious whisky is a great gift for a man, regardless of whether they drink the stuff or not! Whisky investments are currently booming, with the drink being worth more than gold in many instances. While rare bottles of Scotch will always do well, a more affordable option is Japanese whisky, which is rapidly growing in popularity. Luckily, you won’t have to fly across the world to pick up a bottle, as there is plenty of Japanese whisky for sale in the UK! If you pick a good quality bottle that has auction resale potential, then you’ll be in for a winning gift regardless of whether they fancy a sip. If they are ones for a dram or two, then they’re bound to enjoy the gift either way!
Watch
A classic luxurious gift, quality timepieces are a sign of class and style, and the options are endless. You’ll have to pick whether they will prefer a digital or analogue watch, or perhaps something a little more high-tech, like a smartwatch. Also, consider the look you want to go for; should the straps be leather, fabric or metal? While classic timepiece brands like Rolex and Cartier will always be appreciated, the rise of watches from fashion designers, such as Gucci, offers some more unique and vibrant options!
Truffles
Chocolates are a common go-to gift for many gift-givers struggling to think of an idea. There’s no problem with a good box of chocolates, but why not put a more luxurious twist on it?! Truffles are undoubtedly one of the more luxurious forms of sweet treats out there, and the options are endless. For example, Charbonnel et Walker, chocolatiers for the Queen, offer whisky flavoured truffles. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Fancy doughnuts, retro sweets and cute cookies are also a nice touch.
Drone
If you’re buying for a man who is really still a kid at heart, then why not buy something a bit more toy-like! With luxury in mind, a drone is the perfect choice, as this pairs new technology with a bit of fun! There are a variety of styles and sizes available depending on the intended use, whether that be to get some epic photography, or just to fly around outside!
