The Christmas List of Gift for Him
Men are getting more and more consideration now and ideas for gifts are everywhere. From hobbies to fashion I find that there is more out there and I've been hunting for good presents to show you. Here you will find some of my picks.
Art Fund is an organisation that supports art in Britain and behind many new acquisitions in galleries and museums there is the contribution of this great charity through the quotes of members who buy a National Art Pass. It is a yearly subscription and the pass gives the opportunity to visit exhibitions at half price or free entry in some museums, historical houses and galleries. The pass can be bought individual or double or family. A perfect gift for an art lover. www.artfund.org
A watch is always a great gift because I am sure that a man likes to match his watch with what he is wearing, so it will be a plastic watch when exercising and it will be a nice vintage looking watch like this one by Just Cavalli, for a more formal occasion. The prices are great and the choice is fantastic, with styles catered for every taste. This one is in gold plated stainless steel with a 9mm thick case and white dial. Available at Amazon among other retailers. www.amazon.co.uk
Instant pictures are having a come back and Polaroid has released new instant cameras. But the Polaroid SX70 will be among the most loved cameras of all ages. My dad had one and I remember taking pictures with it and then the wonder when said pictures were developing in front of us. This beauty can be found at Selfridges in all its original look. www.selfridges.com
With more and more people using scooters to move around in the city, a motorbike helmet will be a great gift, even if your man has got already a helmet. Those two MYX helmets can be found at Halfords and they've got them in medium and large sizes. The lining can be detached for cleaning and it has a quick release buckle. www.halfords.com
I love this Chess Board set with the London Skyline. It can be found at the National Gallery and I want to stress out that any purchase made in the shop or online, helps to keep the free entry for us all. I find a lot of nice gifts at this shop and also some of them are inspired by the exhibitions held at the Gallery, so they are kind of exclusive. This means no doubles when opening the presents under the tree. www.nationalgallery.co.uk
If the countryside, or walks in the park are his things this is the perfect gift and it is very trendy too. The Balmoral Sovereign Neoprene Wellies by Hunter have got a zip which is unusual with normal Wellington boots, they are waterproof and a kick spur for easy removal. pair them with nice wellies socks in fleece. www.hunterboots.com
A cardigan might be a classic gift but this gorgeous one by John Lewis & Co is very new, made of 100% wool in 4 different kind of knit patterns and colours. It is machine washable and I would buy it for myself. www.johnlewis.com
Greenwich has designed a great selection of accessories for the man who likes a touch of luxury in his everyday life. In the picture you can see a nice travel set with luggage tag and passport holder, or you can be tempted by the wallets. Also check out the gadget collection with beautiful covers for iPhones, Samsung and tablets, as well as laptop cases. www.greenwich.design
You can always find something nice at Tresor Paris. This couple of black agate bracelets with a gold plated stainless steel skull and beads is part of the Vega collection. It comes in a nice branded black pouch and remember, skulls are so in right now. www.tresorparis.co.uk
This is the ultimate shaver for a man who might suffer from sensitive skin. The Philips 7000 Electric Shaver has got so many functions that it would take me a page to describe them all. Among the important things, this shaver is sold at Argos, among other retailers and it has a worldwide voltage so great for the traveller, 5 minutes quick charge time, enough for a shave and it is cordless. Find out more at www.argos.co.uk
A silk scarf is a real treat and I am sure that they will be loved, especially these beautiful printed damask scarves by Simon Carter. Their rich colour and damask pattern make an amazing gift, giving a touch of colour to any overcoat. They are one of those items, very much coveted but most of the time men don't splurge on themselves, so somebody else has to do it. www.simoncarter.net
