Designer Wash Bag – Ideal Gift For The Travelling Man

by The Bringer of Gifts

Everyone has that one guy in their family that is never in one place for too long. Be it for work or pleasure reasons he is always moving around or travelling from one place to another, sometimes taking in different countries and continents. He’s the sort of guy that has a bit of something from all of his trips and is sometimes a bit of a pain to buy for – but not anymore!

The designer brand world has looked at the gifts and add-ons for this Christmas and after making their socks and underwear collections bigger and brighter have now turned their attention to the luggage, towels and even tooth brushes that can be dragged around the world. But what does the designer male put these items inside? His designer wash bag of course! Top designer names Armani, Lacoste, Ted Baker and Hackett among many many more have launched a varying range of toiletry bags for this Christmas, and we think they’re the perfect gift for that travelling man. Available for under £50 these amazing wash bags carry the top designer names at the moment and depending on the brand will come complete with their own towel or additional accessories. Ted Baker for instance have a ‘Mishmak’ washbag that comes complete with a Ted Baker London branded cotton towel. Slip your toothbrush, toothpaste and deodorant inside and you’ve got the complete overnight bag.

However, some men aren’t as simple as that. If you’re the type of man that will take creams, lotions, sprays and a whole host of grooming goodies then you need to be looking at the Lacoste or Armani bags as these are slightly bigger, and come empty so you can fill it with all of your man necessities for keeping fresh and youthful looking on your travels. These amazing designer wash bags will be available at top retailers both on the high street and online, so if you find somewhere that doesn’t sell them then you’re in the wrong place and need a better retailer! Make sure you kit out that travelling man this winter and Christmas.

Belstaff are really attacking the UK fashion market at the moment, and are offering a superb range of winter gifts and accessories for the fashion conscious man. This season has seen a growing range appear on the high street and online, with last Christmas only offering some beautiful leather belts this year is seeing a wide range of leather goods, and some superb winter warmers alongside a selection of bags. Belstaff has been a top motorcycle brand since the early 1900s when hardwearing leather jackets were designed and manufactured for races.

Admittedly they will set you back around £90-120 for the pair but you’ll get a woven or knitted wool hat or scarf with a top designer name on the front. If you’re looking for something a little more unique or different Belstaff have launched a pair of leather gloves that come complete with their own storage bag. However, these will set you back at least £100 but are perfect for the winter, or provide a thoughtful gift for a loved one. Finally the bags are a great for day to day use or special occasions. Available in weekend bag, shoulder bag, large and medium bag size.

Flat Caps, Headwear No Longer Seen On Your Grandad

by The Bringer of Gifts

Flat caps have been around since the early 14th century when it was believed that in the northern England town of Grimsby, and some parts of southern Italy the first flat caps were produced and worn. Over the years they have been called bonnets, caps, cheesecutters and golf caps. Generally made from wool, and carrying a stiff peaked brim the flat cap was even part of law at one point, and an appearance in public without your cap would lead to a daily fine. Many believed that the flat cap would be given to the history books, and only seen on older gentlemen, such as people around your grandparents age, golfers and farmers. However in 2010 the trend came back, alongside the outdoor style that has made a fashionable appearance in the world of designer clothing.

To complement the quilted jackets, gilets, chunky knitwear, wellington boots and chinos the flat cap is part of British outdoor heritage and has followed the trend back, with major British brands such as Paul Smith, Hackett, Henri Lloyd and Ted Baker all including quilted or wool mix designs within their last couple of seasonal collections. While the designer flat hat might not be cheap you are indeed paying for the designer name, and in this case it differenciates the premium designer caps from anything found on a market stall, however this can be said of most designer fashions. That isn’t to say that you need to spend around £50 on a designer flat cap, but that will make all the difference to the man seeking a designer gift this Christmas, or any special occasions before then. Not every male wants to don a beanie hat when the weather turns, so this might be the perfect opportunity to team it up with a Belstaff jacket, quilted coat or any other outdoor winter trend item.

So just because your grandad and his mates are seen around town in their flat caps doesn’t make this any less of a fashion must have this winter. Pick up a flat cap for yourself or loved one and enjoy the outdoor designer trend while its here. Need some celeb reassurance or inspiration? Check out David Beckham and Brad Pitt below!

Vivienne Westwood Cufflinks

by The Bringer of Gifts

With men’s gifts massively on the rise since the internet began to overtake the high street in terms of sales and popularity the gifts and accessories market has boomed. Whereas before shoppers would devote their time to finding the clothing that they want in the correct style and size the internet has made this easier with intelligent site searches presenting the items that people are looking for quicker. With this extra time, and in most cases savings shoppers are spending more time looking at the little designer add-ons and gifts with people more inclined to view the smaller items, and take their time looking at them when they don’t have shop assistants pushing them or other shoppers bustling around them.

Vivienne Westwood is known by many, but loved by a much smaller proportion, but i have to admit that their collection of cufflinks for Christmas 2011 look amazing. Completely different to any of the other top brands that produce designer cuff links such as Paul Smith, Ted Baker, Hugo Boss and Armani the Vivienne Westwood cufflinks are colorful, eye catching and feature swarovski crystals in the majority of their designs. Their signature orb logo and design can be found on the links, alongside skulls, hearts, tiger eyes and the more customary rectangle and circular designs. The cufflinks are available in a variety of colours, and will add some colour and eye catching style to your outfit and shirt as well as give you the perfect opportunity to give these as a gift as they come in their own grey Vivienne Westwood embossed logo presentation box and a grey velvet pouch to keep them safe and ready for when you need to wear them.

Vivienne Westwood is a premium British designer brand, and one that at times is so unique and crazy that it seems too crazy to be classed as designer, but the brand has a hardcore following that love the difference and will continue to be a little ‘off the wall’ in their designs. If you’re wanting a pair of Vivienne Westwood cuff links then make sure that you have a good shop around as they’re quite rare online in the UK. Mainline Menswear has a small range of mens Vivienne Westwood cufflinks, as does  My-Wardobe and KJ Beckett. This gift won’t be for everyone, but if you judge it right you’ll get a lot of thanks for such an amazing gift.

Lyle and Scott Socks

by The Bringer of Gifts

Continuing with the theme of socks and easy stocking fillers for Christmas the Lyle and Scott sock range is one that needs to be looked at both before and after you start your serious shopping. The sock collection is growing rapidly with gifts for men in mind, so check before you start as it may give you the inspiration for the man in your life, and after shopping will just tie up any loose ends and add those little extra bits and pieces to their gift range.

Lyle and Scott socks were introduced last winter, with the Christmas gift market in mind. Adding that something extra to their seasonal range Lyle and Scott will never make tens or hundreds of millions with sock sales, but they will ensure that the golden eagle appears on the ankles of men, and women around the UK and Europe this Christmas. The socks are either wool or cotton and have stretchy characteristics that allow for comfort and movement in the socks. As seems to be the same with any designer sock collection at the moment its all about the colour and eye catching design with Lyle and Scott socks appearing in a couple of different styles including the classic block colour design where the toes, heel and top of the sock are a different colour to the rest of the sock. There are also the stylish striped designs that appear in a variety of colours including blue, red, yellow, pink, green and purple as well as the basic black, navy and grey. This winter will also see the introduction of wool mix socks with a fairisle stripe design, ensuring that when worn with winter fashion boots or wellies your feet are warm and fashionable.

Priced between £10 and £15 these designer socks are absolutely ideal stocking fillers from the biggest British brand available at the current time. Sales of the socks will be massive, especially as more people look to offer token gifts in the current economical climate, so make sure that you visit some of the top Lyle and Scott stockists in the country and pick up some amazing stocking filling socks this Christmas.

Original Penguin Socks

by The Bringer of Gifts

Original Penguin socks are another great gift for a man all year round. Full of colour, style and an Original Penguin logo the socks are great stocking fillers, little additional gifts, or will simply add some colour to the man in your lifes sock draw. The fantastic styles of Original Penguin socks remain pretty constant with a distinct retro theme that accompanies the t shirts and clothing perfectly. Made from a cotton, nylon and elsatane mix these super stretchy, super soft socks fit with pretty much any footwear (apart from sandals or flip flops!) and will add colour to the ankles of men and boys around the UK, Europe and even some distant parts of the world.

Original Penguin is an American t shirt brand that was founded by a Munsingwear salesman called Abbott Peterson. On a trip to New York he found a stuffed Penguin in a taxidermist and before long had invented the logo for his classic t shirts, and convinced his bosses at the underwear company he worked for to develop the product. This quickly took off and before long, golf courses around the UK and most of USA were awash with colour and Original Penguin polo shirts. The company progressed their designs, and now an amazing range of socks are available season after season.

So if you’re after a Christmas stocking filler, a little gift for a man or simply updating the man in your lifes sock draw then at £6 a pair (at most retailers) Original Penguin socks are surely a good shout! Anyone got any success stories with Original Penguin? Leave us a comment!
