Valentine Gifts For Him

As Valentine’s Day draws ever closer it’s time to start thinking about what to buy the man in your life (or the man you want in your life). Easier said than done, you say? Tell us about it! Finding the right gift for the man who has everything is no easy task, but if we’re going to make any success of this Cupid lark we’ll give it a go to help you out.

After searching the sales we think we’ve hit a bullseye with these Valentine gifts for him. Pack a stylish bag with designer boxers, dressing gown and slippers and whisk him away for a romantic mini-break, or buy him a bottle of his favourite aftershave, quirky cufflinks – or a new watch so he’s never got an excuse to be late for a date…

Groom for Improvement this Movember

 

Mo Bros and Mo Sistas report for duty! Movember is back to help change the face of men’s health and previously resolutely clean-shaven gents everywhere will suddenly be sprouting dapper looking moustaches – all in the name of charity.

The aim of Movember is to help raise funds and increase awareness of men’s health issues – particularly testicular and prostate cancer. So grow a mo to show your support (girls, you can sponsor the men in your life to do it). Some shops are even offering discounts to registered Mo Bros taking part in the campaign and there’s also a cool selection of promotional products, where a percentage of the profits will go to Movember and their partner men’s health charities. We love the lion t-shirt by Eleven Paris (pictured above left) and 20% of the £40 price tag will be donated to the Movember cause. Find the men’s style at Urban Outfitters or there’s one for the ladies’ at ASOS. Newly moustachioed men will need to keep their tache expertly groomed – and with Penhaligon’s moustache wax £2 out of the £5 goes to charity, or get it for free when you spend £30 on men’s grooming products. Whilst Crabtree & Evelyn are offering 20% off the men’s grooming collection throughout November, sorry make that Movember. Of course a true gentleman is never seen with out a suit and tie, so A Suit That Fits have designed an exclusive Movember tweed. Buy a tie for £40 ands £5 goes to charity. Ladies might prefer a little something from Links of London to show their support. They have a cute and quirky moustache themed jewellery collection with 10% of proceeds donated to Movember. There are cuffflinks, pendants, bracelets and charms to choose from.

Penhaligon’s Moustache Wax £5, A Suit That Fits Tweed Tie £40, Crabtree & Evelyn Shave Cream £8, Links of London Moustache Charm £45 and Bracelet £65.
