The holidays for me have always been a time for giving, but then I'm always reminded that that usually means somebody is out there planning on giving something to me, too. And while I make no secret of my affinity towards the finer luxuries of life, I absolutely do not think it necessary to spend thousands on Christmas gifts. And I'm sure you have some gents on your shopping list this year that also love nice things, and for them (and for anyone shopping for me!), I've compiled the ultimate splurge versus steal gift guide.
TRAVEL PORTFOLIO
Hang on tight to your foreign currency, passport, headphones, memory cards, loose change, lip chap, wallet, boarding passes, and anything else with this sleek and slim travel portfolio, which I happen to use daily to tote my everyday essentials.
EVENING WATCH
As much as I love a classic 'day' watch, which I would dub as more casual, there is something about having a couple of good 'fine' watches, with a leather strap and a classic face. This also makes the ideal gift because everyone can add to their watch collection!
ABSTRACT ART
A simple piece of canvas abstract art makes the ideal gift for a luxury-loving guy, it can be leaned against a wall, propped up in a living or bedroom, or also simply added to a shelf or closet. It adds instant style to any space, and to any gift!
COZY THROW
A simple throw for the couch or the bed is something that most guys probably wouldn't buy for themselves, but would be happy to unwrap at the holidays. These cozy pieces come in extra handy during Netflix-and-chill sessions.
HOME SCENT CANDLE
I've always been an advocate for luxury candles, and especially as Christmas gifts, and with tons of brands coming out with their own versions (and new brands coming out too!) there is seriously a luxe home candle for everyone's budget.
CHUNKY SNEAKERS
Love 'em or hate 'em, this ultra comfortable trend shoe is not going anywhere. And while I would generally discourage from gifting something so size specific like a shoe, these chunky bad boys are an exception, simply because they're so good / so necessary.
I hope I've inspired you to finish off your shopping list with these easy gent's gifts!
