THE MENS GIFT GUIDE

Well, this one was a great challenge – but one we really enjoyed. Men are the notoriously difficult ones to buy for when it comes to Christmas, often being left with a pair of socks and a bottle of whisky. But we’ve really thought outside of the box this year and put together a brilliant hit list of gifts that the man in your life will truly be thankful to receive. As with all of our gift guides this year, we’ve searched our some brilliant small brands to add to the bigger brands that we already know and love. Thank us later…

A stylish update to a simple t- shirt that will have the men in yourl life looking great without feeling out of their comfort zone.

2 // JAMES AND JAKE SPORTS SET

If your man is a serious sports player, he’ll seriously appreciate this set. A new small brand discovery, the anti-bacterial menthol foot spray zaps bacteria while the body wash soothes aching muscles.

Not the real Apple deal, but for less than £40 this pair does everything the others do for a tenth of the price.
