10 of the Best Gift Ideas for Men
Words by Ellie Hibberd
Nailed your Christmas presents? Don’t lose momentum – from Spring Festival to January birthdays and Valentine’s Day imminent, the new year offers plenty of reasons to feel generous.
For the Well-Dressed Man: Polo Ralph Lauren Overshirt
Every stylish chap in London is proof that a chore jacket is key to casual attire – one can never have too many. Polo Ralph Lauren’s corduroy overshirt, part of the brand’s Lunar New Year capsule, offers a subtle point of difference by replacing the usual button-down with a frog closure – a fastening inspired by decorative toggles in Chinese design.
For the Statement-Maker: Panerai Luminor Due Watch
Synonymous with diver’s watches, Panerai brings its signature naval codes to the slimmer, sleeker, but no less impactful Luminor Due. The brand’s unique crown guard and two-layer sandwich dial meet patented Goldtech (a unique blend of gold, copper, and platinum), a bold red strap and mother-of-pearl dial to make an elegant dress watch.
For His Home Bar: Ralph Lauren Glasses
Ralph Lauren Home’s cosy, country-club decor has had pride of place on more than a few interiors mood boards this winter. Admirers of the brand will get a kick out of these hand-cut crystal glasses. Plus, with their hand-blasted horse motifs, they’re ideal for raising a toast this Spring Festival.
For the Money Man: Bottega Veneta Wallet
A well-crafted wallet is a man’s best friend, and when it comes to leatherwork, there’s none better than Bottega Veneta. The brand’s famous Intrecciato weave acts as a subtle signifier on this bifold – if you know, you know – and speaks volumes of the gentleman who holds it.
For the Bling King: Tateossian Cufflinks
For the man who always finds occasion to dress up, a cufflink collection is as essential to him as a well-tailored suit. This gold-plated pair by Tateossian offer a glimpse of colour with its red garnet centre – he’ll be throwing a party just to show them off.
For the Sophisticate: Gucci Vanilla Firenze Eau de Parfum
A member of The Alchemist’s Garden fragrance family, Gucci’s Vanilla Firenze scent is just as suave as its apothecary-style flacon. Its three distinct vanilla extracts are warm and woody rather than sweet, thanks to its mingling with myrrh resinoid and iris pallida.
For the Cool Guy: Raxxy Puffer Jacket
Be the first to put this Shanghai brand on his radar. Exclusive to Harrods in the UK, Raxxy’s innovative design is born from a balance of art and mathematics – the two passions of designer William Shen. The result is intricate and architectural silhouettes that turn down jackets into couture.
For the Collector: Louis XIII Limited-Edition Cognac
Louis XIII’s iconic decanter comes presented in a limited-edition coffret to celebrate the Year of the Horse, stamped with symbols of the 2026 zodiac animal alongside Hippeastrum flowers, representing blessings of fortune and health. As for the Cognac? Expect a spicy blend with notes of honey, allspice and gingerbread.
For the Traditionalist: S.T. Dupont Pen
No matter how many gadgets he owns, there’s nothing more rewarding than putting pen to paper. Whether it’s for note-taking in the boardroom or journaling in the bedroom, S.T. Dupont's Line D Eternity Year of the Horse Fountain Pen is the perfect choice for the New Year. Notice the horse’s mane detail on the 14-karat gold nib – a tribute to strength, energy and new beginnings.
