The Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide: Mid-Luxury British Gifts For Him

The Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide: Mid-Luxury British Gifts For Him

It is officially just 50 days until Christmas, which means that it’s about time to start shopping! To celebrate the countdown to Christmas, we have curated a series of Gift Guides that will help you along the way. Packed with high-quality, indulgent products from British businesses.

Men are notoriously difficult to buy for, but here’s a little secret: they enjoy a touch of luxury too. Choosing a gift that is a bit more indulgent than purely functional invites them to slow down and savour life’s finer details. Self care is for everyone, especially at Christmas time. 

With that said, here are our top five mid-luxury gift ideas For Him…

Barbour Jumper

Nothing beats a timeless winter knit, and no one does a countryside classic quite like Barbour. Founded in 1984, Barbour have since earned their place at the pinnacle of English menswear and have become well-renowned for their commitment to craftsmanship and quality. 

Crafted from premium wool, this Argyle-print sweater combines thoughtful, timeless style with lasting quality. Wearable both casually and formally, it is a versatile addition to any man’s wardrobe.

Argyll & The Isles - Scotch Whisky Candle

An essential accessory for cosy evenings by the fire, this hand-poured, soy wax candle exudes a deep, earthy scent redolent of a premium single malt. The Argyll & The Isles scent combines sweet top notes of rose and violet with darker base notes of whisky, oak, and woodsmoke to reflect the complex essence of a fine Scotch. Rich and sophisticated without being overwhelming, this warm, smoky scent makes for a beautiful home fragrance.

Candles in general make wonderful gifts for hardworking, ambitious men, because they offer the perfect reason to slow down, unwind, and enjoy a small moment of tranquillity amidst the chaos of Christmas.

The Highlands Reed Diffuser

Inspired by the glorious Scottish countryside, The Highlands Reed Diffuser offers a deep, earthy scent reminiscent of a crisp country walk through the rolling hills of Aberdeenshire. With top notes of Scottish heather, heart notes of bergamot, and base notes of blue cypress and precious woods, The Highlands scent is perfect for those with a penchant for more rugged and natural fragrances. 

So, why a reed diffuser? Unlike candles, which must be lit and monitored, reed diffusers offer a long-lasting and low maintenance way of adding fragrance to your home. They really are the ideal gift for a busy man with great taste.
