What to buy for the discerning gents in your life? Whether they’re a country man at heart, fitness fanatic, lover of the good life, or a bit of a mystery — here, there’s an idea for all.
If you’re brave, why not try buying him an item of clothing: a cardigan from Finnieston, rugby shirt from Gant, and snug pullover from MOSS have all made the cut. By way of perfume, Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male is one perennial classic, or look at Tom Ford’s new Amber Intrigue if you are feeling flush. Skin care is never a bad idea, and many need some help: find suggestions from Horace (affordable, good), Soho Skin (fantastic for any gender) and a lovely shaving kit from Harry’s.
Or go for shoes (trainers from On, wellies from Barbour), stationary (you can’t go wrong with a posh diary, and we love those from Aspinall and Smythson) or something really special: allow us to point you in the direction of the Basquiat limited edition bottle of Dom Perignon. One for the more artistic men in your life.
There’s caviar, ties, comfy pjs and scarves! Happy shopping, one and all.
