From quiet luxury to clever high-street finds, this edit makes choosing the perfect present feel effortless.
Welcome to the Who What Wear UK Gift Guide! With the festive season fast approaching, we wanted to curate the ultimate gift guide of the pieces we truly think are worth it, so you’ll know your chosen item will be treasured for years to come. Featuring everything from luxury homeware and editor-adored beauty products to show-stopping handbags and forever accessories, whether you’re shopping for a loved one or for yourself, consider this the perfect destination for all your gifting needs. Happy shopping!
There’s an art to buying Christmas gifts for men—and if I’m honest, it’s one I’ve been perfecting for years. Between a dad and brother who seemingly have everything (and are painfully particular about what they like), I’ve learned that the right gift takes equal parts thought and intuition. Whether it’s your partner, dad, brother or best friend, there’s always that question: what will he actually love? As someone who shops for a living, I’ve picked up a few tricks for finding gifts that feel both personal and foolproof.
For the minimalist who appreciates the finer details, think timeless knitwear, buttery leather and sleek tech that slots effortlessly into his routine. For the style enthusiast, lean into elevated staples—a great suede trainer, a refined wool jumper or a fragrance that feels modern but classic. And for the impossible-to-buy-for types? You can’t go wrong with quiet luxury: a bottle of Japanese whisky, cashmere loungewear or something beautifully made that he’d never justify buying himself.
From considered high-street finds to designer treasures, this is the edit that promises at least one rare reaction: “You actually got it right.”
