The holiday season is in full swing, and with just a few days left before Christmas, the gift rush has reached fever pitch.
Still not sure what to get the stylish man in your life? Read on...
Aldwyn & Sons
A luxury mani-pedi for the holidays is a perfect gift idea, and the speakeasy locale that is Aldwyn & Sons is the place for this.
Evoking feelings of a superlative man cave, this respite boasts foot care treatments fit for the most gentlemanly of men about town.
Think Downton Abbey service in a 2019 setting. If your guy would appreciate some good old pampering like Dwayne Wade, Harry Styles, Jared Leto and Johnny Depp, or his hands and feet need it, I suggest you order a “Modern Footman” and send him off to Aldwyn & Sons.

Gillette Heated Razor
When I first saw the Heated Razor by “GilletteLabs” I knew it would be a perfect gift option for the man who appreciates a luxurious hot-towel-shave experience. The first of its kind, Gillette’s Heated Razor combines adjustable temperature levels with its FlexDisc™ blade technology to offer a smooth, warm shave that mimics barbershop feels. The razor’s sleek design makes it a fit for James Bond’s bathroom and sporting a waterproof wireless docking station, it’s the perfect addition to the modern man’s grooming arsenal.

Jo Malone London Luxury Candles
Jo Malone is always up there with the best of gift ideas. Having just sniffed both the Orange Bitters and the Pine & Eucalyptus collection from the brand’s latest release, I am convinced that the deluxe sizes from both scent profiles are the ultimate candle gifting options around.
Favourites of John Boyega and Poppy Delevingne - the former, a sweet and sensual aroma and the latter, an enlivening and festive fragrance – either candles will get you in the running for the best gift-giver of the season.

Kilian Intoxicated
Truthfully, this might not be Killian’s best-selling fragrance, but it certainly is a favourite amongst leading men, with many namechecking the scent when asked what they’re wearing. Possibly the male alternative to Rihanna’s go-to from Killian, Love, Don’t Be Shy – give this gift to the man that appreciates the scent and looks of allure and exhilaration.

Moleskine Smart Writing Set (Ellipse and Pen+ Case)
From Ashton Kutcher and Brad Pitt to Richard Branson, the creative and corporate set has bought into Moleskine since 1997.
In 2019 the brand launched its Smart Writing Set, which connects analogue and digital, allowing you to write in the journal and have an instant and workable digital copy of every handwritten page on their phone or computer. Consisting of a smartpen (ink and charging case) and a journal of special digitised paper, it’s the coolest thing in the writing arena, and a gift artists and thinkers will be sure to appreciate.

Nura Nuraphones
Thanks to Smartech (Selfridges’s biggest concession store) Nura’s Nuraphones came on my radar… since then, I have seen and heard about it too many times to count. A mash-up of an over-ear headset and an earbud, the nuraphone is the world’s only headphone that automatically learns and adapts to your unique hearing. It’s Stevie Wonder approved, too.

Orbitsound - ONE P70W Sound Bar
Some guys dig superb sound, and if you’d like to gift of fantastic audio this Christmas look no further than the Orbitsound portfolio. A number one choice by the luxe set, Orbit Sound has produced a stellar collection of luxurious speakers fit for those who value excellent sound. Crafted from natural materials and acoustically designed with unique Airsound™ technology (perfect sound regardless of positioning), I recommend their ONE P70W, an all-in-one system with an integrated subwoofer, WiFi and that can be mounted in multiple orientations.

SMEG Milk Frother
A gift that makes the receiver think about you every day is a gift worth giving, and if you’re gifting a coffee lover, a SMEG milk frother is the gift of choice. Boasting six pre-sets, manual functions and a minimalistic aesthetic (in hues of pastel green, pastel blue, pink, cream, white, red and black), SMEG’s milk frother enables barista level java in a jiffy.

Spectacles 3
In November Snapchat unveiled the Spectacles 3, its third-generation augmented reality glasses. While everyone has been focused on the tech specs, which include a second HD camera and 3D snaps, I have been admiring the aesthetics. Snap’s Spectacles 3 is super stylish and can serve as a go-to pair of sunnies. Available in two colourways, black “Carbon” and rose gold “Mineral."

Yatay Trainers
Sustainability is the new sexy, and when it comes to footwear, Yatay’s eco-friendly high-end trainers are the best on the market. Completely sustainable, certified vegan and undeniably chic, Yatay’s minimalist sneakers are for those who are both concerned with carbon footprint and care about on-trend footing. Yatay also replaces worn soles and uppers so getting a pair means you’ve gotten a shoe for life.
