what luxury gift is best for the man with refined taste?
It’s that time again! The lights are getting strung across the streets. The holiday decorations are making their way out of hibernation. So begins the great annual search for The Gift. Whether you’re shopping for a partner, a brother or a friend, finding the perfect guys’ gift can be tricky. You’re likely barraged with Instagram ads at the mere whisper of “best gifts for men”, hawking whiskey stones or sock sets devoid of any swag.
You can do much, much better and we’re here to help, especially for the guy who “has everything.” There’s always something he didn’t even know he wanted and we’ve compiled 25 of them.
Here we bring you a selection of top gifts for men this year, no matter what he’s into. Big outdoors guy? How about the slickest, grippiest hiking boots? Tech-obsessed? Have we got a high-flying drone for him. Design buff? There are some truly unexpected touches for the home that would even get the Eameses excited.
What follows is our curated collection of luxury gifts for husbands, lovers, boyfriends, brothers and more – and we promise, he’ll be talking about it (gratefully) until the holidays roll around next year.
