Socks are always an option. But if you’d like to mix it up this year, we’re here to inspire you. Practicality with a drop of luxury is a surefire success, whether you’re buying for a boyfriend, husband, father, brother or friend. With that in mind, these are our top gift ideas for the man in your life.

1. The Classic Gold Watch

A stylish gift to wear forever. Choose between a gold bracelet or a strap, depending on his style. We love Rotary’s Gold Avenger gold watch. Waterproof up to 50m, with a white dial and date functionality, it’s the perfect choice for practicality too. Equally handsome is Bulova’s gold dress watch on a black leather strap. From their classic collection, it has a three-hand day/date feature, a silver dial with gold tone markers and a domed mineral glass. A luxurious look and feel.

2. Leather Wallet

Castelijn & Beerens (C&B) wallets are made using the best quality full grain bovine leather, ensuring they’re buttery soft yet durable and long lasting. They age so well that they almost look better with time, the leather having naturally softened. We love their burgundy wallet from the Nevada collection. It holds nine credit cards, contains a coin pocket, two cash sleeves and an ID window. Impressively, the Nevada collection is equipped with a high-tech foil that prevents your personal data being skimmed through the RFID chip on your cards

3. Cufflinks

A stylish addition to any suit, cufflinks reliably feature on our gift list. Yes, 2020 hasn’t seen as many dress up occasions, but thankfully our celebrations of life’s milestones continue and the big parties will return. Choose between silver and gold, engrave with his initials for a personal touch, or opt for our hand engraved family crest for a truly bespoke gift which will be passed on through future generations.

4. A Luxury Pen

A personalised gift that marries practicality and luxury, an engraved luxury pen lasts forever. The Cross chrome ballpoint pen has a modern feel, featuring the same smooth grip and as its classic style, but updated to having a quick retractable click. We like it best when engraved with his name, a special message or the date. As always, our engraving service is complimentary and will be completed for the following day.

5. The Gift Set

Still confused or now overwhelmed with choice? We have the answer. The Jos Von Arx prestigious gift sets means he can have it all. We particularly love their beautifully presented blue case, featuring a watch, cufflinks, luxury pen and key ring.
