5 Sweet Small Presents for The Stylish Man In Your Life

For menswear.

Even in our modern world, where we are bombarded by variety from every kind of industry, when it comes to buying a present for our man, we still tend to get stuck. There are a number of things we can buy our men — standard things like the usual perfume set, the perfect T-shirt; a classic belt or that tie he will stack with his countless other ties.

But sometimes, we want to buy our men something they will really appreciate — an object that they will want to wear or use because we would have managed to stir their inner child and got them excited for presents again. With this in mind, we have compiled a list of five sweet presents for your man, in the hopes that you too will give him a present he will genuinely be happy with.

A classic shaving set: Sure, a razor or an electric shaver are good tools when your man needs to shave quickly when he is in a rush before work but a classic shaving set is perfect for those days when your man is shaving for a special occasion or when he wants to take his time and take care of his face.

A custom pin: There are moments in your relationship that are so special they need to be imprinted on your memory in some way. Custom pins are great when you want to mark a milestone with your man. From initials, to shapes and even family crests, this is a sweet present your man can wear with a suit or a simple shirt to remember the occasion.

A drinking flask: Speaking to his inner spy, a drinking flask is something most men would love to have in their home. Classic, chic but utterly useless most of the time, this is nevertheless, a fun object most men want to own and use sometime in their lives.

A vintage poster: It is a veritable truth that we all get overexcited when we receive a present that recalls our childhood — that something which we may have wanted as children but never got. A vintage poster, framed beautifully and hung somewhere special is a great way of showing your man how much you actually know him. From batman to Star Wars, to movie posters, finding a vintage poster and framing it for him is a sweet way of bringing the things he loves in his environment.

A sailing boat kit: If your man loves to work with his hands, then a sailing boat kit is a perfect gift because it brings longevity and some form of peacefulness to your man’s life. If you go for an elaborate piece, a sailing kit is a great present for men who like to unwind by working on a fun project that involves working with their hands. More than that, once they are built, sailing kits are beautiful pieces that can be displayed throughout the house as an ornament showcasing your man’s work.

5 Tips for Packing for a Fall Weekend Getaway

For menswear.

The leaves are turning, the weather is cooler and you’re taking off for a weekend getaway. But your closet is still full of summer shorts and t-shirts. Not sure what to pack for that three day, two night trip? Let us make it easy for you with a quick five point guide to dressing smart while fitting everything into a carryon or weekend bag.

1. Chinos are the perfect fall casual pant. Choose classic tan chinos or navy for an easy, laidback look that can be dressed up for an evening out.

2. Sport coats are an absolute lifesaver. Seriously, don’t even think about leaving home without one. A sport coat or blazer is the perfect way to style up a casual look, provide a place to hold your keys, wallet and mobile phone and add a touch of sartorial savvy to a relaxed weekend. We suggest the Navy Windowpane Blazer. Comfortable and versatile, it works well with chinos, jeans and slacks.

3. A dress shirt, two Polo or Henley tees and a pullover will get you through every event, gathering or activity you have planned. Wear the dress shirt with slacks and a blazer for Friday night dinner. Choose a lighter colored Polo with slacks for that early Saturday morning round of golf. The Henley works well with jeans and a cardigan or sweater vest for Sunday lunch.

4. Sneakers and a semi casual pair of shoes or boots. Choose quality leather for the shoes and make sure they are comfortable, polished and (mostly) odor free. Wrap shoes in a shower cap or plastic bag when packing.

5. Don’t forget the Dopp Kit! Also called a shaving kit, the Dopp Kit is really a bag within a bag that carries all the personal grooming essentials – shampoo, shaving cream, razor, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, nail clippers, condoms, aftershave, hair gel, chapstick, comb – you will need. Whether you’re going fishing, to the mountains or visiting family, stay clean shaven and well groomed easily with all the right pieces in one place.
