Ho ho ho … Christmas is coming! Time flies and that means we have to go on the search for the perfect gifts. And let’s be honest, that’s not the easiest task of the year. Thinking of a nice gift for men is often an extra challenge. Often they don’t know what they want or they ask for very practical things that we don’t like to give as a present. But, no worries! In this article we give you 8 original ideas to surprise your favourite man(s) with a dose of luxury.
FOOD & DRINKS
Always a good idea, because you know what they say… the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!
Don’t want to give a cliché bottle of drink as a present? Or do you simply love the strong taste of ginger? Then you absolutely must have tried Gimber. Gimber is not just a drink without alcohol, but one with pit! High quality ginger, lemon and spices. Ideal to start your day with!

Yes, even men love a good me-time moment in the bathroom. Taking good care of your skin is very important and this goes for men too! Every skin needs a fresh cleanse and hydration.

Here’s my favourite care package that will have you moisturised and healthy in just two steps!

FASHION & ACCESSORIES
A watch is not just a device that displays the hour. It is much more than that. It is an expression of your taste, personality, sense of aesthetics and love of technology. This complex and timeless accessory completes any outfit. Two of my favourite Belgian watch brands are Raidillon and Julémont. Raidillon watches embody the philosophy of a true Gentleman Driver and are designed in a limited edition of 55 pieces. At Julémont we also find a love for cars, but also for architecture. Theelegant forms and lines are central to his source of inspiration. The result? A frame with a strong character, called Dôme.

7/ Leather goods
In addition to the Raidillon watches, I am also a huge fan of the leather accessories. I mean, just look at them! A stylish briefcase with a sporty finish to go to work in style. Or race gloves of Italian leather finished with cashmere lining to have that real gentleman driver experience behind the wheel. I am 100% convinced that this is secretly every man’s dream. Men, am I right or wrong?
