1. Suede driving moccasins - Every guy needs a pair of these comfortable classics. They go well with jeans or khakis and can be casual or dressed up. I love these Tod's ones in a versatile gray and Sid Mashburn's versions in Navy and Brown. Sid Mashburn has amazing stuff so a gift card from there would also be a great gift. I gave one to each of my brothers two years ago and they love their stuff.
2. A custom suit from Suit Supply - A custom suit elevates a guy's look and Suit Supply has some beautiful fabrics and you won't have to pay a bespoke price.
3. A sporty winter jacket - Patagonia is the best of the best. Great for cold days or skiing/snowboarding.
4. A more formal winter jacket - J.Crew has some classics and Mr. Porter has more expensive but amazing gear. I'm also a big fan of Barbour jackets - more of a Fall play but layers well and is an absolute classic.
5. Travel essentials - Tory's boyfriend is asking for a monogrammed garment bag and my brother is asking for this herringbone tie case. A leather dopkit is always appreciated.
6. Copper mugs - for the guy (or host/hostess) who has everything, copper mugs are an awesome gift.
7. Sunglasses - Warby Parker surprisingly has some awesome pairs and at a great price.
8. Drone - Drones are very cool and a grown up toy for the kid in him.
9. A custom skincare pack - Go to Sephora and put together a set of face wash, serum, eye cream, exfoliator, maybe even a men's clarisonic?? Perhaps put in his new leather dopkit? My brothers, boyfriend and cousins all expressed interest in this gift.
10. A round of golf at (insert great public course here) - If you're on the West Coast, Pebble Beach comes to mind...
11. Anything johnnie-O, of course! I recommend the Original 4-Button polo for the JO newbie but the pants, jackets, 1/4 zips and swim are also fab.
