What to Ask for Christmas This Year
Head Gear
The trick to bossing the winter months as a style-conscious gentleman is to keep warm while looking good. Not as easy as it sounds – wearing a hat, of course, is an art form in itself – but you’ll manage it with any of this quality headgear.

House Plant
No home is complete with some shrubbery to add that all-important natural touch to the interior décor – especially in those winters when venturing out into actual nature is about as appealing as a snowball to the face.

Coffee Table Book
Nothing says Christmas present like a giant slab of a book to fill out those shelves – the kind of luxury, oversized gift you can’t get enough of at Christmas. Packed with glossy pics and dense information, these are the dictionary definition of a man-book.

Your Favourite Aftershave
Just make sure to spell out exactly what you want, leave the empty bottle lying around, send links if you have to, or risk getting a fragrance that smells more like rubbing alcohol. These are all safe bets. HUGObossSCENTCologneL2_editedAcquaDiParmaCologneL1_editedAcquaDiGioL3_edited
Wrist Bling
It’s often thought that a watch is one of the few pieces of sparkly jewellery that men are allowed to actively seek out. The problem? The generally hefty price tags that come attached to bling. Can’t afford Swiss-made? That’s alright, you ain’t paying. MondaineWatchWristBlingMVMTWristBlingOxBlueWristBlingjpg
High-Quality Socks
Not just a myth; well-made dress socks make getting up when it’s still dark out that much easier (on your cold feet, at least). Wool-cotton styles wear better and keep your feet warmer. Add a splash of color under your suit trousers for a little added personality, or pick out a cheeky pair for a funny gift.
