"Don't get me anything, I have everything." You know the line. Finding a gift for a man who has everything is a classic Christmas and birthday puzzle. Our tip: aim for what he would never buy for himself, even though he would use it every day. Here are 10 ideas.
The essentials
- Men rarely replace their slippers, their scarf or their favourite mug: that is where to aim.
- A gift used every day beats an original gadget forgotten within a week.
- For his size, look inside his shoes or ask someone close to him.
- Our Sienna clogs go up to size 47 (EU), and size exchanges are free.
1. Faux-fur-lined clogs to replace his old slippers
Has he been wearing the same shapeless pair for years? The Bormio lined clog has the shape of a clog, a plush lining up to the collar, an adjustable metal buckle and a grippy sole for popping out to the bakery. In black, brown or grey, EU sizes 35 to 45, at €39.99.
2. Comfort clogs he will wear all year round
For the man who works from home or does DIY, the Sienna clog is worn with socks in winter and barefoot in summer, EU sizes 36 to 47. We explain how to wear them in men's clogs: how to wear them.
3. A good kitchen knife
If he cooks, one beautiful, sharp knife changes everything.
4. A quality wool scarf
In a sober colour: charcoal, navy, camel.
5. A subscription that suits him
Specialty coffee, a magazine, a music platform: a small treat every month.
6. A notebook and a nice pen
For the man who jots everything down on his phone and misses paper.
7. An experience for two
A cooking class, a tasting, a concert: the memory lasts longer than the object.
8. A bundle for the whole household
Does he share his home? A bundle of 2 or 3 pairs for him and his partner or children, each with their own size and colour, from €59.98 for two. More ideas in matching Christmas gifts for a couple.
9. A throw or sofa blanket
The perfect match for lined clogs on match or series nights.
10. Something repaired or restored
His old watch serviced, his bike restored, his favourite shoes resoled: a gift that shows you know him.
How to find out his size without him knowing?
Check the label inside his shoes or under the sole. Otherwise, measure one of his shoes and follow our method: how to measure your foot and find your size. Our models are true to size; if in doubt, go one size up.
Frequently asked questions
Do men really wear clogs?
Yes, more and more. The clog, closed at the front and open at the back, has become a men's classic, worn with thick socks and jeans.
Which colour should I choose for a man?
Black, brown and grey are safe bets. The khaki and taupe of the Sienna appeal to men who like natural tones.
What if he doesn't like them?
He has 60 days to change his mind, and size exchanges are free.
