Secret santa for a "luxury" man

[Oldnews]

I've drawn my lovely colleague in the secret santa and I'm stumped!

He's young, early 30s and loves the finer things in life. He only wears discreet elegant designer clothes, dines at fancy restaurants and likes high end whiskies.

What can I get him for £15??!!!

a bag of artisan freshly ground coffee (go to a specialist coffee roaster if you're in a town that has one, or order online from somewhere like this)

and possibly some fancy sugar crystals or fancy biscuits to go with it

@JumperandJacket, you should be on commission! I’ve just ordered 3 of the tasting sets, thank you x

@ODFOgrinch

A pair of black silk socks.

🤣🤢🤮

[quote evtheria]Oh! And E) a monogrammed notecard set off Papier with his name or initials. There’s a referrals thread where you can ask mnetters (or me ) for a tenner off.

I recommend this design, safe but stylish:

Not with a black border.
That’s for funeral/death notices.

I’d go with the Whisky stones.
These are £15 from JL

I'd get a Victorinox Swiss Card.

IME they are liked by most men. No one really wants whisky stones or socks.

Whisky should be drunk at room temperature!

Some nice chutney to go with a Christmas cheese board or a bottle of port

Thank you for all the ideas! Gone for the whisky - he'll love it!

Molton Brown shower gel bauble £12

One of my colleagues managed to find an one way flight ticket for £15 from London to somewhere abroad. The receiver did go and said it was the coolest idea ever.

ODFOD!

Don't knock it til you've tried it. It is a boring but luxurious gift. One of those things you try then can't go back to wool. My father (come to think of it most of the men in my family) swear by them.

My luxury ds would like the silk socks or the Swiss knife thing.

I disagree that no-one wants socks! Really good socks can be a great gift. I've bought good walking socks (Darn Tough) for BILs that we just buy small gifts for and they have definitely gone down well. I'd appreciate them too.

A ‘luxury’ man sounds like something stath let’s flats would say

Anyway, I would buy him a bottle of Hedonist, gorgeous Shiraz from Waitrose, £17 a bottle. Can’t go wrong with it 🤷🏻‍♀️

My DP fits this description. I'd suggest nice socks, mini whiskeys, or a posh notebook.

Haha

Pantherella socks. Lovely fine material. No logos, thank heavens. They have been a sartorial favourite for decades.

@DarlingFell he definitely is a luxury man. I'm married to a no- frills man myself and the daughter of an outdoorsy-premium man :)

Some lovely ideas of things I'd like myself here too- will try the hedonist wine and cocoa runners so thanks so much for the suggestions!

My dh likes the finer things and loved a bottle of truffle honey I got him from Fortnum and Mason. They also do great biscuits in little tins you could get.
