The best gifts for him, according to Vogue

The sleek suitcase

For someone who ends up living out their suitcase multiple times a season, a sleek and efficient suitcase is a must. If your loved one has the travel bug, or is often off on a work trip and you’re looking to push the boat out this Christmas, Rimowa’s essential cabin bag is sure to impress. Bonus points for being cabin bag airline approved just in time for new hand-luggage rules to take effect in 2027. They’ll thank you later!

The headphones on everyones list

If you, like me, and your boyfriend are in a constant battle about whose Airpods are whose, this ones for you. I’ve been seeing men clad with Nothing’s headphones everywhere in London, and can confirm they are worthy of the fuss. Not only do these headphones look cool, with signature transparent design features, their latest drop has the most impressive sound engineering and noise cancellation yet (a must for city dwellers). Described by Nothing as “Ludicrously over-engineered” these headphones will put you in their good books for months.

The photo book, but make it modern

The personalised photo book was a gift once reserved for sharing memories with the older family members in your life. These days, Papier’s design-led styles are just as suited to sitting on your younger family members or friends mantelpieces. This holiday-coded customisable photo book is perfect for a particularly memorable trip they loved, or a why not dedicate yours to a whole summer of memories that are sure to make them smile?

The slim-line sneakers

If the men in your life like to take styling cues from Harry Styles, or similarly stylish celebs, a slimline sneaker with subtle colour-pops is a great gift idea. Onitsuka Tigers cream style with colour-pop detailing are a safe, yet playful addition to your loved ones rotation. After all, who doesn’t want a wardrobe top-up on the house?

The masterclass gift card

If inspiration is lacking on your side why not encourage some on their side instead and give the gift of 365 days of access to MasterClass. Perfect for the father-in-law you’re hoping to impress, a teenage brother whose in the market for some up-skilling this year or any man who really does have everything. Added bonus: this is a great last minute gift, that can be emailed to the recipients inbox on your cue.
