These things need to be on your Christmas wishlist

You might think we’re being premature by getting you to think this far ahead to Christmas, but trust us when we say that it’s worth letting your loved ones know exactly what you want to avoid being given another scarf or a book that you already know you’re not going to read. Put these on your Christmas list immediately to avoid disappointment…

A pocket square

Every gentleman needs a pocket square (or two) in his life, but we appreciate that this might not be something you just go out and buy on a whim. Dunhill make some seriously beautiful ones that will last you all year round and look perfect for every occasion.

A jumper

Christmas means that we’re well and truly in the deep of winter and there’s nothing like an incredible knit to draw you out of the January blues. This Sandro jumper is the perfect gift to ask for – it will look great at every occasion and do the trick to keep you warm throughout those dark winter days.

Trainers

Smart trainers are an item that we believe that every gentleman needs to invest in (see why here), and the good thing about Christmas is that you don’t have to make the investment yourself. Common Projects are our go-to brand because they look amazing on every gentleman and are the perfect shoe to take you from day to night.

A scarf

A scarf is something that many gentlemen skip out on – something that they think isn’t important and that they can do without. However, every self-respecting gentleman will appreciate the need to keep warm (and stylish) throughout the winter months and wearing this Thom Browne scarf is the perfect way to do so.

Speakers

No bachelor pad is complete without an amazing set of speakers and a decent pair is something that is genuinely important to invest in. Gone are the days of listening to music out of your laptop – or worse, your phone. B&O make the best speakers in the world and this wireless pair will look perfect in any gentleman’s home.

A trilby

While we appreciate that a trilby might not be for everyone, we promise that this Larose one is a worthy item to add to your wishlist. It’s the perfect item to keep you warm throughout winter and is guaranteed to give you an instant style upgrade. If hats are your thing, add this to your list immediately.

Fragrance

Smelling good should be something that every gentleman takes seriously, and unfortunately something that not many men appreciate the importance of. You can no longer get away with wearing something cheap and cheerful, because generally, they smell awful. La Labo offer some of the best scents on the market and are a fantastic present to ask for.

Card holder

Far too often we see gentlemen walking around with a tatty, old, worn wallet or card holder that totally ruins their otherwise sleek look. Christmas is the perfect time to ask for a new one because it’s generally not something that you would consider renewing. This Tom Ford one is everything that you need out of a card holder and more.
