The Gift Guide For Guys With Style
Buying gifts, whether it be for your dad, brother or for some other bloke, can be tough to decide. Well, there’s no use looking to television for inspiration, as fathers in the Advertising World are inevitably portrayed as some kind of cross between a sour Dickensian Ebenezer Scrooge and a Barry Crump-era Good Keen Bloke, who automatically suffers a Pavlovian-style drool response when confronted with cheap plastic power tools. As a father myself, I have accepted such gifts from my children with mumbled gratitude and embarrassingly moist eyes. But, once the wrappers disappeared, the presents themselves would always find their way to the back of the workbench behind those other reliable tools that years of experience had encouraged me to choose for myself.
Montblanc have a range of sophisticated leather gifts that not only let him know how much he means to you – but can also serve him superbly in his everyday life in the real world.
Here’s our selection of some of the best options we think can really make up your gift game if your buying for someone else, or your style game, if it’s for you.
Montblanc M_Gram 4810 Coin Case with Zip
This is the ideal small gift for the modern man who is comfortable wearing male fashion accessories given the all-over logo treatment. Here the two-colour tone M pattern is a hat-tip to the geometry of the 1920s Montblanc logo. Designed to be worn in a style that suits the wearer, this can be carried by hand or adapted to be hung across the body, from his belt or wrist – or even neck! Also comes in an unmistakable bright blue option for the truly bold personality.
