By: Harry Rosen Staff
Although it’s easy to get swept up in the spirit of generosity and gift-giving, the holiday season can be an expensive time of year — even if you don’t have an extensive list of giftees (naughty or nice).
However, giving a lackluster gift in the name of budgeting down almost feels worse than not giving one at all, especially if it’s to someone you care about.
The only solution? Stylish suggestions with unparalleled value. Don’t worry, we’ve already done the legwork for you; these budget-friendly holiday gifts mean no holding back on the festivities this season.
Amsterdam Suede Wrapped Mules, Birkenstock
If you haven’t met Birkenstock’s Amsterdam model yet, you can think of it as the more sophisticated version of the Boston — one of the brand’s signature models. The Amsterdam takes the mule-style slip-on to new heights with a sleek one-piece suede upper that wraps around the Birks' trademark cork-latex footbed: the perfect blend of refined and relaxed for holiday-season lounging.
Check Cashmere Scarf, Harry Rosen 1954
Warm, soft, and luxurious, there's a reason why cashmere is a quintessential holiday gift. If your giftee appreciates the finer things in life, they'll think of you every time they wrap up in this timeless 100% cashmere scarf woven in a handsome red and grey check.
Oud Wood Conditioning Beard Oil, TOM FORD
From fragrances to grooming products and even candles, TOM FORD's Oud Wood scent is among the most iconic and best-selling in its collection. Exotic and irresistible, the Oud Wood scent is tastefully included in this luxurious conditioning beard oil, giving facial hair a soft and shiny look and feel.
Touchscreen-Compatible Leather & Cashmere Gloves, Harold
Gift-giving is an instant way to feel warm and fuzzy on the inside, but giving these cashmere-lined gloves will instantly make your giftee feel warm and fuzzy too — on the outside, that is. And with a 100% Nappa leather outer shell complete with touch screen-compatible fingertips, there's a good chance he'll keep these on until spring.
Three-Pack Vibe Xtra Boxer Briefs, SAXX
You used to dread getting gifted underwear as a child, but it took until adulthood to truly appreciate a fresh update to your daily essentials. These moisture-wicking, naturally breathable boxer briefs from underwear specialists SAXX come in a three-pack, so he won’t have to think about restocking for a while.
Tasman II Shearling-Lined Nubuck Mules, UGG
Extraordinarily comfortable, effortlessly wearable, and surprisingly versatile, the Tasman mules are every man's gateway into the UGG world. Whether worn as slippers around the house (as the Australians who invented them do) or with a casual dog-walking outfit outside, your giftee will grow a newfound appreciation for comfort — and nubuck — in no time.
Polo Bear Jersey Hooded T-Shirt, Polo Ralph Lauren
Teddy bears are a quintessential holiday season motif, though in the Ralph Lauren universe, the Polo Bear never goes into hibernation. Bring the best of both worlds together with this 100% cotton hoodie from Polo Ralph Lauren — the ideal mid-layer for the man on your list who appreciates a little personality in his wardrobe.
Le Logo Wool-Angora Ribbed Beanie, Le Bonnet
This winter, it might be time to start asking more from your headwear options — case in point: this luxurious ribbed beanie from Le Bonnet. Made in Scotland from an incredibly soft wool-angora blend, this hat is a stylish defence against the cold — and a no-brainer gift to warm the dome of your soon-to-be grateful giftee.
Cotton Twill Dress Shirt, Harry Rosen 1954
A man can never have too many well-chosen dress shirts — especially in a timelessly versatile combination like this blue and white stripe from Harry Rosen 1954. Classic details including a spread collar, barrel cuffs, and mother-of-pearl buttons make it equally at home at holiday events and back at the office in the new year.
