What do you buy for the guy who's always on the go? With a best friend who spends most weekends catching flights and a father who has taken up marathon running in retirement, I've been paying careful attention to the things that on-the-go guys actually want to receive this Christmas. The takeaway is a blend of practicality and style. Personally, I'm planning to upgrade their most-used essentials. Think a rainproof jacket for long walks this winter, a sleek tote to travel in style the next time they head abroad or a smart ring to track their progress on their new exercise programme. Utility doesn't have to come at the sacrifice of refined design, and these presents won't feel like stocking up on essentials, but rather elevate the most useful parts of their everyday.
