Strict Gifts for the Boys

Strict gifts for the men in your life! Gentle fashion nudges, chic home and travel good stuff guaranteed to elevate their lives <3

Gift ideas for the boys!! Things he never knew he needed but will be instantly hooked on. Ways to elevate your man’s wardrobe or home, cool things your dad and brother will actually like…

1. His new signature scent. I got this for my boyfriend last summer. We went shopping IRL and tried a bunch of scents out. We landed on Byredo, but were super close to getting a D.S. Durga one. I love their scents and branding is very strict.

2. New sunglasses. Akila rocks (i love these yellow lens ones) or go for Moscot. Or Crap Eyewear for a less expensive pair!!

   

3. GAMES! I love playing cards with my dad and boyfriend and these double RL ones are the coolest. An amazing gift is always a really nice backgammon set — extra points if you get it personalized — I love this wood one.

4. Cos wardrobe refresh. I am absolutely loving all Cos is doing rn and the mens stuff is so good!!! I love their sweaters and jackets. Great time to get him something you’d love him to wear <3

5. Boxers!! Tekla gift sets for the win. So cool. Or get a custom set from Abbode with a little love note :)

   

6. Trendy hat. Wow boys love a good hat. Cherry LA makes some great ones. Or get one from his favorite bar or restaurant.

7. Coasters. These dinosaur designs ones are so strict.

8. Fresh new tees. Instant refresh. New year, new tees. Get him hooked on Buck Mason if he is not already. Also, sweatshirts. I have heard amazing things about this Abercrombie one and I got this Yellow the Label crew for my boyfriend too! In invisible ink: they are perfect to steal :)

   

9. New sneaks. I always love a sleek low profile sneaker for guys and you can’t miss with Wales Bonner collabs. Or a chunkier athletic style like these green New Balance (on sale) or Salomons ofc.

   

10. Fancy wallet. Bottega will forever be my rec on this one. Timeless and not too flashy.

11. Aesop everything. Upgrade his shower routine or bathroom! Body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hand care set.

12. Brunch slippers. Elevating his life cont. Boys deserve cozy slippers too. I think brunch kills it. Can do a classic hotel slide kind, or i think these fuzzy ones are the way to go.

    

13. Travel bag. This leather one is so nice. For more of an outdoorsy man, try the Baboon ones.

14. New crisp bedding. I recently upgraded by boyfriends sheets and it has upgraded my life (ofc his too). I’d go with Parachute (on sale now too!) or Quince or Italic if you want a great deal! Oh and a robe is always great idea too.

    

15. Dob kit. I love this leather one you can also get customized. Dagne Dover has a good one too.

16. Home goods. Especially Flamingo Estate. They have the best gift sets. I love this Santa’s Favorites one. But this Garden Tour one is good for someone who likes to cook too!

17. Or Buly. Like this manly candle. Or could go always go the fragrance route here too.

If this is for your partner, my fav gifts to give are experiences! Get them a fun getaway at a cool hotel or book a spa day and spend quality time together <3 (if you need inspo, check out my city guides!) Plus you get to enjoy too hehe :)
