Some men are a nightmare to buy for. They already own every gadget, they have opinions on wine and they pretend not to care what they wear. Luckily, we do.
At Gresham Blake we have spent more than two decades dressing men who like a little humour with their tailoring. Our Christmas gifting range is full of pieces that are easy to give, enjoyable to receive and far more interesting than yet another novelty mug.
Here are a few ideas to slip under the tree.
Gresham Blake Bears: The Gentlemen Of The Gift Table
First up, the bears.
Our bears are not the sort that sit quietly on a shelf. They are a tongue in cheek nod to the brand and a very good way to win points with anyone who secretly likes a bit of silliness.
Perfect for:
-
Children in the family who already know you as the stylish relative
-
Partners who appreciate a thoughtful keepsake
-
Fully grown men who insist this is “for the kids” and then guard it closely
Christmas Accessories With Proper Personality
If you would like something small yet stylish, our accessories are ideal for stockings, Secret Santa or adding polish to a main present.
Cufflinks
Cufflinks are tiny but mighty. Choose something sleek for the classic dresser, or a playful pair for the chap who enjoys a private joke at his cuffs. They live in the wardrobe for years and come out every time a shirt with proper cuffs appears.
Ties And Pocket Squares
A tie and pocket square from Gresham Blake is a very fast way to smuggle personality into a work wardrobe. Go for rich winter tones, clever patterns or a subtle festive motif. They work for Christmas Day, office life in January and every wedding on the horizon.
Braces
Braces are a quiet power move. They feel old school, sit neatly under a blazer and stop trousers from misbehaving on the dance floor. Choose a bold colour or print and the lucky recipient will think of you every time they take their jacket off.
Silk Scarves
A printed silk scarf makes a handsome gift for the man who already owns several coats. It adds colour, warmth and a touch of old fashioned glamour. Think walking from pub to pub on a cold night, looking annoyingly put together.
Sock Boxes and Everyday Indulgences
Socks may sound sensible, but Gresham Blake socks are very far from ordinary. Our sock boxes group together pairs with bold colour and pattern, all packed in a smart box that is ready to slide straight under the tree. No wrapping panic, no rummaging for tape.
They are perfect when you need a present that feels easy yet considered. One box covers everything from Christmas morning lounging to back to work dressing in January. He opens the lid, laughs at the prints, and suddenly his sock drawer looks a lot more interesting.
For the Grand Gestures
For those moments when a pair of socks simply will not do, our Grand Gestures collection steps in. This is where you find the showpiece gifts over £100, from statement shirts with serious personality to velvet jackets that turn every doorway into a grand entrance. These are the presents that say “I think rather a lot of you” without needing a speech. Choose one hero piece or build a full outfit, and you will have given him something he can wear to every important do of the year, with a quiet little glow each time he remembers who bought it.
How To Build A Dreamy Gresham Blake Gift Set
If you want to look like you have really thought about it, put a few pieces together.
-
Bear plus a tie for the man with a split personality: half boardroom, half big kid
-
Braces, pocket square and cufflinks for someone who loves to look smart
-
Silk scarf and wallet for a traveller who likes to look effortlessly sharp at airport security
Layering smaller gifts creates a sense of occasion without needing one huge present.
The Joy Of Giving Something A Bit Different
Every item in our gifting collection carries the same sense of humour and attention to detail that runs through our tailoring. These are presents people will actually use, talk about and quietly treasure.
Whether you are shopping for your dad, your brother, your best man or the mysterious colleague in charge of the office playlist, we have something that will make them smile on Christmas morning.
And if you accidentally buy a bear or a silk scarf for yourself while you are at it, we promise not to tell.
