Gifts For Him
Gifts For The Man Who Appreciates Quality
Harder than it ought to be
Buying for a man is a peculiar annual difficulty. He has a wallet. He has socks. He will say he does not need anything and be perfectly sincere about it, right up until somebody gives him something he did not know existed and he becomes rather quiet and pleased.
Things that get used rather than tolerated
Leather bags and wallets from makers who stitch them, accessories and grooming, watches assembled by somebody who will tell you which production run yours came from, and footwear with soles built to be resoled. The test throughout is whether he will still have it in five years.
The unglamorous present is frequently the right one
Nobody has ever been thrilled at the moment of unwrapping a very good pair of socks and nobody has ever thrown them away either. Bear it in mind before dismissing the obvious.
