12 Perfect Christmas Gifts For Gentlemen

by Claire Green on

Finding the perfect gift for the man in your life can be challenging enough. If they’re discerning gents like Mr Bown & his friends, it’s reasonably sure that they will appreciate the finer things in life. Quality workmanship will be high on the agenda. Perhaps something a little unique, personalised or monogrammed? Something coveted or collectable or maybe even a limited edition will fit the bill.

Before settling on a predictable, run of the mill gift take some time out to consider what makes the recipient of your gift tick. What are his interests and hobbies? Can you pick up any clues from his sense of style or his interior décor choices?

Just because he has expensive tastes, doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune. Get creative, do a little detective work and remember the presentation can have as much impact as the gift itself.

To give you a helping hand, we’ve compiled a list of twelve great gifts for any man on your shopping list. Whether it’s your boss, boyfriend, brother or best friend, son, dad, grandad, uncle or husband, we’ve got a gift idea that will wow them this Christmas. And yes, of course, there will be a luxury bathrobe for men in the mix because that’s what we do best!!

 

smythson panama watch roll

Smythson Panama Watch Roll

A Patek Philippe might be pushing the budget too far, but what else do you get for the man with a keen eye for stylish timekeeping? A travel watch roll is not a bad place to start, and we love the Liberty-esque print on Smythson’s Panama timepiece keeper. Crafted from cross-grain calf leather, it features a contrasting suede lining and removable padded roll designed to accommodate a variety of watch styles. Just like our designer bathrobes for men, you can make it personal with gold stamped initials. The Panama watch roll is priced £375, but solid colours are available from £213.

english pewter company whiskey tumbler glass

English Pewter Co. Single Copper Whisky Glass Tumbler - 11oz

Mr Bown is partial to a tipple in his smoking jacket, but he’s very discerning about his drinkware. We think this understated, yet eye-catching whisky tumbler from The Pewter Rose Collection would be entirely at home in the drink’s cabinet. The copper-plated pewter base makes it a weighty little number option, and a personalised message option makes it a unique gift for the socially mobile gent. Prices start at £25 with additional costs for engraving.

Coffee Subscription

With more people working at home than ever before there’s a real need to recreate some of our comforting daily rituals. Grabbing a real roast on the office commute is one of the many perks of city living and with a legion of serious brewers popping up, it’s never been easier to guarantee the daily fix. Reward the man in your life with a coffee subscription and ensure he never misses his caffeine kick again. There’s been a proliferation of brands appearing on the scene in recent years but among our favourites are the family-run Broomfield Coffee company with their artisan and speciality coffees and Perky Blenders for their letterbox-friendly six-week subscription packages. Prices vary depending on length and roast.

maxibillion premium mens underwear

 

Maxibillion Underwear

It’s all well and good working from home and not getting out of your dressing gown until midday, but any man worth his salt is going to want to protect his modesty for the steady stream of Amazon deliveries. Ensure he doesn’t experience any wardrobe malfunctions when answering the door in his bathrobe with the gift of luxurious underwear. Maxibillion has carved out a niche in the men’s underwear sector by recognising that one size does not fit all. By that, they mean that the same style of underwear cannot possibly deliver the comfort and function required for work, workouts, travel and sophisticated black-tie attire. They’ve revolutionised the category with some serious engineering and smart textile choices without compromising on the aesthetic. If he’s going to sit around in his pants, make sure they’re stylish ones! Prices start at £30.

Closca reusable water bottle

 

Closca Reusable Bottle

This is a notable gift for a changemaker or a man who seeks style with a conscience. It may look like any other reusable water bottle, but it is far from run of the mill. The design is sleek and minimal, but functionality is intrinsic to the concept. The signature silicone flap encourages you to have it with you at all times. You can attach it to your backpack, bicycle, suitcase, the pushchair – whatever makes it convenient to carry it and easier to refuse single-use plastics. The brilliance doesn’t end there. There’s an app that rewards you for refilling. Now, that’s what we call a memorable gift! From 24.90 euros.

bioniq tailored bespoke daily supplements

Bioniq Balance Personalised Daily Supplement

It’s no secret that we love a bit of personalisation at Bown of London, so we love these tailored supplements for the man (or woman) who takes health and physique seriously. It’s not a million miles away from a monogrammed bathrobe, but this gift gets a little deeper under the skin. After a thorough analysis of blood tests, Bioniq will create a daily supplement that directly targets any deficiencies the man in your life may have. Please note we are speaking of the vitamin and mineral variety rather than the inability to cook a Michelin-starred meal from scratch. As far as we’re concerned this has all the hallmarks of a great gift. It’s not something you would probably buy yourself; it’s unique and, even better, it has tangible benefits for the recipient. £150
