 ith the festive party season in full swing, holiday spirits peaking, the halls delightfully decked, and the rich nostalgic platter of all the quintessential tidings of the season — kitschy jumpers, the smell of sugar cookies, throngs of carollers, Christmas movies galore …— at its palatable zenith it can only be what many consider to be the most wonderful time of the year: Christmas. |
Be that as it may, and no matter how truly wonderful and quaint it may seem, the season of elves and mistletoe also — perhaps in the apropos vein of one Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge — has the unique ability to table its own fair share of stress inducing affairs (gift shopping being of particular note) and expectations in spite of the spectred veneer of universal good intentions being cast in conjunction with the rose-tinted notion that the holidays are steeped in nothing but joyous splendour, endearing sentiment and traditional merriment.
That having been said, do not fret as the perennial monk + eero Gentleman's Wish-list/Gift Guide. is indeed here to provide a pleasurable cure for all that may be ailing you in regards to one of the most daunting tasks of the season: gifting.
To wit, whether its swelling stores lines that try the extent of one's patience, overzealous salespeople on commission that push far too hard, or simply that of the overbearing realization of an over-abundance of options at ones disposal, making your own wish-list (without even checking it twice) or rather the act of shopping for that perfect gift — whether grand or subtle — for others can often range from at best becoming a personal hunt for 'bargains' to 'gift' oneself through that of a tall task that leaves one distraught and beside him (or her)self during a season in which festive charm is supposedly infinite in supply but time is of the essence.
Taking that into account, what I (alongside innumerable others I'm sure) have endeavoured to doing is narrowing down that field (to a certain degree mind you) with a sartorial cherry picking of the finest fashion, homeware, entertainment and lifestyle gifts that are all but sure to please whether you are seeking that one statement making investment keepsake (i.e. the grand gesture), want to reward yourself/are in need of some wish-list inspiration, or have succumbed to a bottomless family/work/friend gift list whose ever-expanding hemline has seemingly become beyond reasonable comprehension.
Inasmuch, what this shopping guide will (hopefully) do is alleviate some of said stress given it is indeed sartorially seething with a tasteful selection of highly covetable presents for six different gentlemanly archetypes in addition to a 'Top 5 Gifts ' for her — whether she is the apple of your eye, a good friend or your sister — and an enterprising homewares and lifestyle accoutrements smorgasbord that collectively are arguably capable of either fulfilling all your shopping needs or satiating any fanciful sartorial wanderlust that may set in during the season.

Replete with both affordable wears that punch above their weight as well as divine luxury investments worth every penny alike, those that will elevate the ordinary and mundane to the extraordinary and festively resplendent, I like to imagine that there is truly a touch of sartorial delight awaiting below for every discerning taste and desire -- a little festive sprinkle of sartorial nirvana (as it were) for the style-conscious throngs at-large that will put to bed the notion of the “ill-begotten (or worse yet, re-gifted) present”.
No long lines, no confusion, no last-minute scrambling, and nothing overly zealous…just refined gifts presented in a relaxed, convenient shopping environment that can be enjoyed in the creature comforts of one's home.
Happy holidays (and merry gifting) from yours truly!
