One of the most exciting collaborations of 2024, the Agolde x RSVP capsule is full of wardrobe hits—much like this corduroy jacket—sure to elicit smiles on Christmas day.
Look, I know my fragrance. And let me tell you, this is one of the best things I have ever smelled. Yes, it's expensive but in all honesty, I think it's worth it—I have never smelled anything like this before. It’s a fougere, therefore is grassy and green. It’s one of the most complex scents I’ve ever smelled—the notes all ebb and flow throughout various points of the day many of which are identifiable. There are perfect and fresh iterations of sage, pepper, lavender, musk, patchouli, blackberry plus more! Look, that’s a lot of waffle, but let me get to this point—this is truly magnificent, and he (whoever he is) deserves the very best. Spoiler alert: this is it.
You can’t go wrong with knitwear at Christmas. Daily Paper has some pretty stylish knits this season.
You can’t go wrong with a good bottle of whisky, especially a Japanese one. This one, from Suntory, is super smooth and looks pretty great on a cocktail table.
The best way to immerse yourself into a fragrance range is a discovery set. This one from Escentric Molecules—one of my go-to fragrance brands—the Escentric is full of the sort of scent that becomes a part of you, but you, when you smell really, really good.
A solid piece of kit that not only delivers on results but will look the absolute business on his bathroom shelf.
CDLP makes some of the best underwear and loungewear known to man. Fact. This home shirt in leopard is a bit of fun.
The Legend Diver is a classic style from Longines. It comes in several colourways (green, black, navy and terracotta) and sits perfectly against the wrist (that's the classic Longines profile for you). Supremely stylish.
Look, who doesn't loving popping bottle or two? Make sure the bubbles are perfectly chilled and preferably rosé—it's Christmas after all.
One for the man who has everything, look to Selahatin, creators of luxury mouth care products—because regular toothpaste is so passé. This set contains toothpaste, mouth wash and Eau d’Extrait Oral (a perfume for the mouth). Quite stunning.
You can’t go wrong with Aesop. The Home and Hand offering gift set includes a hand wash, hand balm, deodorant and the post-poo drops.
There’s nutmeg, saffron, clay, rum and vetiver. This is one seriously spicy, sexy and hypnotic scent.
The ultimate for any budding photographer. The Fujifilm x100 is the GOAT when it comes to digital cameras.
Musky, but in a good way. Imagine sharp lemon peel, the freshness of orange blossom and herbaceous bergamot all on top of a smooth musky base. Like skin that’s just stepped out of a hot shower. Just delicious.
For the music lover that deserves the best, this turntable from Cambridge Audio will ensure a Cheshire-cat-sized-grin on the big day.
Full of recipes and family stories from this East-London hot spot, any food lover will be delighted to receive.
No more embarrassing a4 plastic wallets here. Upgrade his travel game with a chic passport cover by way of Mulberry.
The Connaught has the best bar in London. I know that sounds punchy but when it comes to great cocktails, specifically a classic vodka martini, then in my humble opinion, it really is the best. Any one who appreciates a good cocktail will love this.
In the ubiquitous Burberry blue, this fully reversible scarf will look good with practically everything. Even your outfit when you inevitably end up stealing it from him.
Gone are the days when opening a pair of socks on Christmas day was frowned upon. Just look at these beauties. They’re super soft and comfy and come in some great colours too.
This is one of the most incredible fragrances that I’ve ever smelled: it’s super fresh with notes of ivy and green pepper, a bit smokey with a hint of gunpowder and just a little spicy thanks to coriander.
For the tech savvy, these design focused headphones deliver crystal clear sound.
I LOVE this scent from M+G. With nots of spicy black pepper, warming sandalwood and a touch of smokiness, this is a seriously sexy scent.
You can’t go wrong with a pair of classic trainers. These from jimmy Choo are crafted using buttery leather and will elevate his casual off-to-the-pub look.
Yes, he will love a candle. Especially if its from Le Labo. This one creates a cosy and sensuous atmosphere—it’s equal parts smoky, fresh and spicy.
For chilli lovers, look no further than this limited edition advent calendar from Chilli No.5. Packed with 24 sauces, spices and flakes.
