If you’re giving a special guy a gift this Valentine’s Day, we’ve got you covered. And we’re not just talking about boyfriends and husbands. After the last few years, celebrating the people we love is more important than ever. So maybe you’re giving a gift to your stylish son or a food-obsessed grandson, we’ve got just the thing.
When it comes to giving a fashion gift, there are two ways to go. The first? To give an elevated vision of a basic, something they can wear over and over again. A Commes des Garcons Play black t-shirt, a Todd Snyder waffle crewneck sweater, and a deep navy Alex Mill henley all fit the bill. Classic sneakers like the ‘77 Nike Daybreak or a really great running shoe like the Nike Pegasus will
The other way to keep it fresh? With offbeat, unexpected pieces they would never buy themselves. I am obsessed with these bright green-and-gold frog enamel cufflinks, which would add panache to any shirt. These Desmond & Dempsey pajamas are covered in a Natural History Museum themed print, which makes sleeping a little more wild.
We’ve all picked up new hobbies during the pandemic. The men in my life are golfing more than ever, and a personalized golf ball set means they’ll always be able to find their ball whether they’re in the rough or not. For the chefs in your life, this show-stopping stainless steel grinder from Tom Dixon will add the final flourish to not only the food, but the dinner table too.
When it comes to trinkets, I always try to keep it useful. Native Union’s valet tray and wireless charging station is the perfect place to put his stuff at the end of the day, and the dark green leather is so gorgeous. For the guy who goes nuts for nuts, a pistachio pedestal is a stylish way to snack.
What’s sexier then a man that smells good? If you’re looking for something woodsy, bright, and timeless, you can’t go wrong with Byredo’s Sunday Cologne. Plus, the chic and minimalist bottle looks great on a nightstand or bathroom counter.
