Christmas wishlist recommendations
It’s that time of year again. The man in your life has yet again fallen inevitably to the bottom of your Christnas shopping list. Time is ticking, and you’ve not got a scooby. Don’t worry your head, the following cheat sheet will save you from the somewhat deserved criticism of purchasing a gift which will leave him with no choice but a half hearted Kawhi Leonard smile (do your Googles.. I can’t give you everything).
From stepping clean, to smelling like money.. this list has it all. So sit back, get your bank card out and take a pick of the only gifts which matter in that man’s life this year.
Maison Margiela Jazz Club
We’re above the age of 18 now, it’s time to put down that Dior Sauvage (awkward if you’re buying for someone younger than 18), but there’s no need to be smelling like a sweaty kid trying to hide his post gym scent with 13 squirts of perfume, as a grown man.
More important than the clothes on your body, is the scent that follows. It’s a direct representation of your hygiene. which ultimately is a representation of yourself. And who wouldn’t want to be represent by warm notes of vanilla, spiced rum and tonka bean.
This one isn’t for little boys, lemme put that out there, and I’m not referring to age here. It’s for the grown and sexy. A french scent which with no sponsor (yet, i’d do unspeakable things for one) is geniunely my favourite perfume. A warm, irrestible and smooth scent which cost you less than £100 for the biggest bottle (100ML).
When all those compliements start rolling in.. just don’t forget about me.
Zara 80% Down Jacket
The drop in temperature has genuinely been criminal as of result, but not as criminal as the value for money you get with the Zara 80% Down Jacket. Often referred to as Zara’s Moncler dupe for its unbelievable quality, luxurious look yet extreme affordability.
This coat ranks NO.1 in many people’s list for their winter coat options, and honestly, no better time than now when it’s not forecasted to climb above 6 degrees for the next week.
Whether it’s his first day back at school, or the new everyday jacket which you to steal off your boyfriend when you forget your own, this coat serves every purpose. And for £119, there’s not a jacket on the market which will bring the joy and comfort which Zara is able to provide with this one.
A Good Watch
The clock is ticking, hence you rummaging this list to locate the perfect gift. So maybe its time to slow down and delve into the wonderful world of watches. (see what I did there)
Don’t worry, I’m not going to tell you to take out a payday loan and buy a Rolex or AP. There’s so much more to watches than the popular brands his favourite artist might namedrop in thier songs. A stylish timepiece should not be measured by the price tag, but by the beauty of the watch itself.
There are two solid entry points into the watchgame which will merit the respect of other watch collectors, but also look extremely stylish on his wrist.
Gold Casio Watch - Bold in colour, timeless in nature, the all Gold plated Casio is a retro piece of art which will be sure to catch the eyes of the wearer’s peers. And for only £30 in most retailers, this is literally the perfect watch this Christmas.
Seiko 5 - The man you’re buying this for has to be of a certain calibre, it requires a lot of XP. A statement timepiece which can be dressed up or down, a beautiful black dial bezel allowing it to be worn with next to anything. Admitedlly, more expensive than the first coming in at £160. However, after the purchase of such a beautiful watch, I promise you don’t need to worry about any other gifts.
Nike Air Force 1 - White
Surprise surprise… bet you didn’t see this original recommendation coming. There truly isn’t much to say, the shoe speaks for itself. The Nike Air Force 1 genuinely belongs in the Fashion Hall of Fame.
The simplicity of an all white shoe, which can honestly be worn with anything, from Joggers, Jeans, you might even get away with suit trousers if correctly styled.
An RRP of £110, (if you told me at 16yrs old, air forces would be more than £70, i’d think you’re drunk but here we are) but a true staple in any man’s wardrobe.
Believe me when I say, you can never go wrong with a pair of fresh whites.
Weekday Scuba Hoodie
I have publicly stated on many occasions that the Weekday Scuba Hoodie is arguably the best blank hoodie available on the market, so it comes as no shock that I think this will serve as a perfect Christmas gift this year. Guaranteed to keep you warm during these cold winter nights, a perfect layering piece for your overall fits, ranging in several colour options. It’s a hoodie with truly no faults. Oh, and it won’t even cost you £50.
I promise you this isn’t an AD (I wish it was), the hoodie is just genuinely that good.
