45 Luxury Gifts for the Guy With Incredible Taste

For the important checks and documents, or just his everyday diary, nothing is more esteemed than a Montblanc Meisterstück, and this ballpoint version is less fussy than the fountain options.

This is my number one scent of the moment, and I find it absolutely intoxicating. It’s woody and smoky up front, with a sweet boozy dry down, but there’s a sharp berry note that cuts through the whole thing. Like if you were walking through a wild raspberry patch while monitoring a controlled burn. For me, it just works.

Orto Parisi is a project form Alessandro Gualtieri, a top-tier nose and true olfactory weirdo. This line is all about Earthy scents, in tribute to his grandfather, a gardener.

Thick canvas, soft leather, and zippers that will last a lifetime. It’s all handmade in England and sold on Saville Row … or online and shipped to America. This olive-colored canvas garment bag/duffel was used by Daniel Craig’s Bond in No Time to Die. It’s an heirloom bag he’ll get plenty of use from and then pass along.

Also shown in our lead image is a Smythson agenda, a favorite gift of the Esquire shopping team. We’ve pretty much all gifted one of these to a dad, brother, or husband at some point. Every man should have an agenda where he can organize his thoughts and kill time in a way that’s not staring at his phone.

Here’s the watch shown in the lead image. You might say, “Ah, a nice dress watch.” But a Hamilton chronograph is actually much more tailored to high level calculation and motorsports. This one, though, is part of the Jazzmaster collection and takes classical cues on the face to smarten up the look.

If he cares a lot about his watches, then there’s no better way to pack them up for travel. Tumi’s watch case is sturdy, protective, and as beautiful as the timepieces themselves.

Chances are he has one, and could use another. Or, he’s always wanted one. In either scenario, some version of Rimowa suitcase makes a killer gift.

Print out the Hermès Gifts for Men section, and put it on a dartboard. No matter what you hit, it’s going to be something he wants.

For us though, you can’t beat Hermès at leather goods. A handsome catchall for the top of his dresser is the perfect gift—subtle, practical, and more luxurious than even the rest of this list.

If you want a fragrance from an established designer label, this Ombre Nomade from Louis Vuitton runs similar to what I’ve suggested elsewhere in this list. It’s smokey and sandy with oud, bezoin, and incense, but there’s notes of raspberry and (for me) a touch of rose or spice that runs through the whole thing. It’s that idea of wondering into a desert town and meandering the souks, really elegant, really captivating.

This slick black suede trucker from Todd Snyder is the jacket every guy dreams about.

No matter what, he wants the cool-looking coffee maker. This new one from Aarke is surely something he won’t already own.

Of course, you could hunt for a vintage lamp that gives his space the perfect hue or light. Or you could get a few of these tunable Philips Hue lights that he can use to create the perfect ambience.

You might not think of it, but an enhanced shower makes all the difference in feeling a little bit more luxurious. This showerhead filters your water for better hair and skin.

I have a pair of these Sabah slip-ons in leopard hair-on cowhide, and they’re a prized possession. First, they’re the perfect house show. But they’re also a great summer shoe, especially if you’re near a beach or often poolside. Wear them sock-less for a bit and they mold to your foot. Plus, since Sabah makes them with high-quality leather, they are durable, look nice, and (crucially) don’t get musty as easily as other shoes.

Alessi is one of those famed Italian 20th-century design companies. The Pulcina moka pot is one of the most recognizable, and most beautiful, designs. No matter how luxe his kitchen already is, this will add another high-design layer to the mix.

The perfect cashmere polo does exist.

This is, without a doubt, the most luxurious home espresso maker on the market.
