So, my luxury gift guide for him is live! I’m loving every second of putting my gift guides together this year. Here are a few of my go-to brands as well as some new ones that translate into the ultimate gifts for the guys in your life.
For the beer lover, nothing beats a unique and luxurious beer glass. These would be a fun and useful gift for your Dad, your Uncle, Cousin, Boyfriend, Bestie, or Brother. The cool designs and the matching coasters will appeal to younger men while the quality and premium presentation boxes will appeal to older men. You really can’t lose here. Don’t forget their favorite beer to go with them or a fancy beer subscription for them to try.
Skincare. This is a good one for Boyfriends, Fiances, and Husbands as well as Dads and big Brothers. If they don’t currently use skincare products start small with a simple face wash and moisturiser, or a shaving cream. If they do use products, add in something a little fancier like an exfoliator or an anti-aging moisturizer. Always tailor this gift so if they travel a lot, get them mini sizes, perfect to pop in their carry on, or if they work outside, try a moisturiser that has SPF. Elemis, Tom Ford, and Aesop are all great brands to try.
Aftershave. It’s simple but thoughtful. You can either buy their signature scent, be brave, and buy them a new scent you think they will love, or get brownie points for creating them a tailor-made scent. This is a great gift for a man who has everything. My favourite men’s fragrance brand is Penhaligons. Look at the fancy bottle.
Fancy French chocolates. Great for a man that is hosting Christmas, a man who has a sweet tooth, or a man who you don’t know too well like a new boyfriend or a friend’s new partner. You can get the box personalised which is a cute touch. Cool for a couple’s first Christmas together, or a couple who are recently engaged. Some boxes like this one come with chocolate drops that you can melt into hot chocolate! I recommend you gift this to a man you will be around at the time of the present opening so you can enjoy a cup too.
For the whisky lover, there are these luxury whisky glasses. Pair them with a limited edition bottle of whisky or if you want to go all out, invest in a whisky cask in his name. Want to make this the greatest gift on the planet? If he likes his whisky on the rocks, add some ice cube molds to make his weekend tipple that much cooler. This giant skull one is for the cool dad types but if you have a young ish Dad, this YSL ice mould is the one. It’s also a good one for whisky loving boyfriends and you want to enjoy fancy ice too.
Photo gifts are my favourite gifts. My mum always taught me to never give the gift of an empty frame. Print off a lovely photo and include it in the gift. This is a great option for a guy who has just moved house, your ex if you’re co-parenting (from the kids), or for your Dad’s office. Something plain and simple like these ones would work.
Lastly, for a man who has a bachelor pad, a man cave, or simply likes a stylish home, Tom Dixon is my go-to brand for home gifts. This vase would make a superb addition to their space.
Another lovely little housy option is this handwash which I can personally vouch for being the most incredible smelling hand wash in the land. It’s black which is cool but smells like expensive spas. Nice for an ensuite or a guy who has just had his bathroom upgraded. A glass decanter for his bar cart is also a classy option. Good luck wrapping it though.
The luxury weekend bag is always a winner. Bric’s is my go-to brand for luxe holdalls but there are millions out there to choose from.
Ties. But not just any ties. Hermes ties for the guy that wears a suit to work, Brioni ties for fancy business meetings, client dinners, and events. Silk, always silk. Did you know that Harvey Spectre himself wears Brioni ties? Need I say more?
Chanel does a makeup line for men which includes lip balms and concealers which is a nice addition to a luxe stocking.
Church shoes are the ultimate luxury shoe brand and these velvet loafers are a gorgeous gift idea.
Noise-canceling earphones, a dream if you are trying to work with the kids at home, these ones are on sale, or sparkling water maker for someone who likes it fizzy not still. (This is another of those gifts for him but also fun for you bracket). Or one of those we’ve been together 60 years and I’ve bought you everything under the sun what now type of gifts.
Cashmere socks are always a nice one for a guy who hates being cold. In charcoal grey. Matching sheepskin slippers and a robe (unisex so you can steal it) if he’s on the nice list. If you are buying for a couple, you can get his and hers without spending a fortune.
A car scent diffuser is a nice secret Santa for someone always on the road.
Have I missed anything? What are you getting the guys in your life this year?
