45 Luxury Gifts for Men Who Appreciate the Finer Things

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.

Also shown in our lead image is a Smythson notebook, 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. Personally, I’ve got my wedding coming up in October, so I’ll be buying and customizing a few for my groomsmen. Every man, even if he’s not a writer, should have a jacket pocket notebook where he can organize his thoughts and kill time in a way that’s not staring at his phone.

If movies are his thing, a big surround system is the ultimate luxury. Nice displays can be found anywhere. But when it comes to standout audio quality worthy of those masters mixing his favorite films, Sonos does it better than any other company.

Something to catch his keys, change (because he still carries cash), and phone.

Just another pair of AirPods? Yes, but Apple’s new Midnight colorway is one of its all-time most beautiful. It’s a well-deserved upgrade for a man like him.

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.

He might think he has it all, but he def doesn’t have Wagyu hot dogs to grill.

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.

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

You’re not going to find greater olfactory luxury than Amaffi perfumes. I find Royal Flush Club—with wood and oud notes—to be the most aristocratic of them all, like a back-room high rollers table.

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

If he doesn’t have a beat-up hand-me-down one already, get him a Barbour.

Art TV competition is coming from all sides as other makers catch up on this market. Hisense came in with an especially formidable competitor, and we awarded it in our Gadget Awards this year. That said, the Samsung Frame still has something special: a deal with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A man of luxury knows all about Van Goghs and Cézannes, and that’s what he wants to display. For now, Samsung is the brand that lets him do that.

Speaking of western guys, you can’t skip Kemo Sabe. It’s the perfect “I vacation in Aspen” brand. Though the hats can be daunting, the Sahara is wearable for guys of all strokes. My dad has worn something similar since the ’90s, and guys ask him about it everywhere he goes.
