Essentials Box
My all-time favorite company for ties and pocket squares has this great Essentials Box that includes ties, pocket squares, socks as well as tie bars & collar stays for the man who likes to class it up or needs a little help in the accessories department.
$165 – The Tie Bar Essentials Box
Minimalist Pocket Knife
Well-designed, minimalist and with a simple construction with many handle options makes this one a winner in my book.
$99 – $179 – Grovemade Minimalist Knife
Clear Ice Cube Maker Kit
For someone into cocktails, this is a great addition to their bar that they might not have. It’s easy to give glasses, stirrers, shakers or booze, but a clear ice cube maker kit is a cut above the standard items one would give.
Leather Dopp Kit
Like I mentioned in my Accessory Essentials Series, this dopp kit is fan-freaking-tastic and I’ve gifted it many times over the years.
Wireless Earbuds (iOS & Android)
The AirPods are truly the best wireless earbuds available right now (for iOS users) and the Jaybird Run are equally good for Android.
$159 to $265 – Apple AirPods or Jaybird Run
Best Backup or Rucksack
I’ve gone over the best backpacks or rucksacks before, and my top choices are definitely pricey, but for an everyday, go-anywhere, do-anything bag, this one is my top choice. I love that it comes in different colors in case your recipient may prefer something other than black.
