Holiday Gift Guide 2019 | Men

Gifts are opportunities to have a little bit of fun, push the boundaries, and choose something less expected.  If you are going to gift something practical, such as a wallet, then choose something interesting!  A fun choice is Valentino Garavani’s Undercover Wallet, which is a hauntingly handsome collaboration with Japanese Designer Jun Takahashi. Another fun wallet choice is the Comme des Garcons Patchwork Zip Wallet, which is terrifically tartan! 

A gift is your chance to buy him something that maybe he would be a little hesitant to purchase himself, but would love to wear. Loafers are a staple in men’s footwear. Now, a colored loafer, well, that can make or break an outfit. Tod’s Green Loafers or Brooks Brothers Golden Fleece Penny Loafers in Navy are great choices.  These colored loafers can be worn with suits, khakis, pants, and jeans. They can be worn both casually and more dressy, while adding a bit of unexpected color. Another classic footwear choice with a twist is the iconic Converse Chuck 70 Suede High Top Sneaker, which look more luxe and are clearly more weather appropriate. 

A classic staple in any man’s wardrobe is the navy blazer. This Navy Tech Quilted Blazer from J. Hilburn is a reinterpretation using the classic lines of a blazer and the material and pattern of a down jacket all tailored into an outerwear blazer. 

If you’re going to choose a tie, then have fun with it.  Pick one with a great graphic pattern, such as the Turbull & Asser Silk Jacquard Tie.  A great gift is always a great pocket square. Tom Ford Men’s Square-Pattern Silk Pocket Square is Op-Art opulence.

Now the “Happy Hour” portion of the guide. Bourbon has become the new designer liquor. Bourbon has great cocktail and sipping potential. Pappy Van Winkle’s 15 Year Family Reserve Bourbon is guaranteed to elicit Holiday Cheer! Perhaps pair the Bourbon with the George Jensen Sky Stainless Steel Hip Flask. Is the man more of a Beer Connoisseur? The Pico Pro Craft Beer Brewing Appliance for Home Brewing is sure to bring out the brewer in him. 

For the more art centric guy, the Renee Magritte Décalcomanie image skateboards are a great choice whether they put wheels on them or they’re putting them on a wall. A black and white photo is always a great gift, so combine it with their favorite band and there will surely be an encore.  This Sonic Editions Framed 1978 The Sex Pistols Print is edgy and timeless. 

Men and their watches are always an Epic story. The James Bond 007 50th Anniversary watch and presentation box from Omega will be a unique and rare addition to his collection. Perhaps, give him a colored watch, such as Panerai Luminor Due in white and blue. 

You will also find some quintessential present choices, however there’s nothing boring about them. Take a look at the many more options below to make your gifting go great!
