The Best Birthday Gifts For Him In 2022
Everyone likes receiving a birthday present – even the guys that doth protest too much and insist you shouldn’t bother. So that means, whatever they say in the build-up, you buy one. Less straightforward is what you actually buy.
To that end, we’ve compiled a birthday gift guide for men to make that arduous purchase that much easier. And, with suggestions to suit even the pickiest of fellas, the all too familiar line of “You really shouldn’t have” will actually mean, “I’m really glad you did.”
A New Fragrance
If it’s not broke, still spritz it. That’s the logic most men apply when reordering their signature scent for the fifteenth time. But with so many new releases each year, it’s a missed opportunity to stay wedded to a single sniff.
Classic fragrance brands – like Tom Ford, Acqua di Parma or Chanel – enlist popular woody and citrus notes that won’t rock the olfactory boat. Which often means you’re investing in something universally liked as opposed to, say, Gosha Rubchinskiy’s eau de burning skateboard. Plus, a new fragrance makes a great gift for someone who has everything.

Designer Sunglasses
It’s easy to cast shade on designer sunglasses: they’re overpriced, they’re fragile, they get little wear in the sun-starved northern hemisphere. All valid concerns.
However, settle for a classic Hollywood style – the kind that suit several different face shapes – and you’ll see double the benefit. The first being timelessness, the second being proper UV protection for your blinkers.
