Gift Guide: The Festive Bonanza
Words: Gentleman's Journal
Ok gentlemen, Christmas is but a couple of weeks away, so for those who haven’t fully finished organising gifts and are struggling for ideas, we’re here to help you on your way. Whether purchasing for your dear friends, your brothers and fathers, or simply to treat yourself, the below will give you enough options to make a variety of different festive wishes come true. So without further ado, here is a truly festive bonanza of gifts.
Eau de Parfum
Eau de Parfum always makes a fantastic festive gift, and Creed is one of the best. With rich notes that offer a host of tantalising sensations, we’re sure any gentleman would be happy to receive this!
Watch
If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then watches are surly a man’s. This Du Maurier Commodore is part of a limited edition run, and each model comes with a strap choice of steel bracelet or waterproof leather. This version comes with a choice of green or ivory lume and with only 125 made, it’ll make a rare treat.
Shirt
A shirt is always a safe bet when looking for gifts this Christmas. Chocky Hendreth, a relatively new brand, are making some fantastic shirts. Their Made in England ethos is sure to tickle the fancies of gentlemen across the nation this festive season.
Gin
We all love gin, and it’s especially lovely at Christmas. Always on the look out for new, exciting brands, we’ve found one we think you’ll love – Bulldog. Taking the traditional juniper notes and livening it up with a citrus twist, we’re sure all gentlemen will love it.
Holdall
Luggage is always a safe bet when looking for Christmas presents. This stunning bag from Troubadour is perfect for the contemporary gentleman. Handcrafted in Italy to the highest of qualities, this is a gift that will last a lifetime.
Book
A gentleman must always read, so purchasing a fine book is sure to get him excited. Peter Harrington Rare Books is the place to find a stunning edition. We think this 1929, limited and signed edition of Ernest Hemingway’s infamous A Farewell to Arms is the ideal gift.
Knit
Knitwear is a must at this time of the year. Cosy up next to a fire on Christmas day in the comfort of this beautiful roll neck sweater from Private White V.C. A fantastic brand with a truly British heritage, nothing is better.
Inis Meáin Beairtini Roll Neck Sweater, £220
Liqueur
Every gentleman likes a tipple of liquor from time to time, and Christmas is the best time to drink it. If you’re looking for exclusivity, try Aen Metaxa, one of the rarest brands on the market. With a delicate taste and sumptious body, this Greek liqueur is sure to go down well.
Pen
Every gentleman must carry a high quality pen, but sometimes it’s better not to go crazy when you’re gifting something for daily use. Try this Caran d’ache x Paul Smith pen, it’s simple, brilliantly made and sure to make someone very happy indeed.
Coat
Finally, no Christmas gift guide would be complete without a coat, and Moncler make some of the best on the market. This quilted wool-flannel number is sure to tickle the fancy of all gentleman this season.
Quilted Wool-Flannel Jacket, £795
