Gifting season is approaching, and nothing excites us more than treating our loved ones to some luxury. But there is something exceptionally difficult about shopping for men, right? Rarely will they articulate what gifts they want, and when they do it’s always something depressingly functional – the type of thing you could pick up at your local supermarket on the way home from work.
That presents us with one big problem: what do men actually want? Now, we may not know what they desire in love (we’re not rocket scientists), but if there’s one thing we do know exceptionally well, it’s luxury gifting. So, dear readers, allow us to educate you on everything the man in your life will have on his gifting list this year – whether he knows it or not.

Let’s start with the best gift anyone can give another person: a mind-blowing orgasm. Yes, we’re diving straight in (pun-intended). TENGA, a Japanese sexual wellness brand that’s revolutionising sexual pleasure, is the place to shop when it comes to male sex toys.
Their TENGA FLIP ZERO GRAVITY EV is the ultimate male masturbator, promising the perfect combination of super-strong vibrations and smooth strokes to create a whole new sensation and dimension in pleasure. It’s currently priced at £200, which when you think about it is a small price to pay for endless, spectacular orgasms that he’ll be thanking you for until the end of time (that’s one way to keep a man thinking about you 24/7). They recommend using TENGA Hole Lotion with it, as it has been specifically designed to enhance sensation.

Onto something similarly edgy (that’s too many puns to count now), a new standout wardrobe item is never an unwelcome gift. Check out the Off-White c/o Virgil Abloh collection on Selfridges, especially this exceptionally cool £685 Saint Matthew graphic-print cotton hoody. It’s part of the Project Earth pledge that boasts products made using at least 50% environmentally certified materials and ingredients, and products made with processes that reduce pollution and waste. You’re giving back, while giving him something truly special for the autumn/winter season.
For the health conscious among us, the new luxury fitness item everyone’s talking about is WHOOP. Worn around the wrist like a watch, it monitors sleep, strain, recovery, and health with advanced technology that connects to an app where you can get daily insights on your body’s key performance data. Crucially, WHOOP only captures the biometric data shown to have the most meaningful impact on your health, rather than overwhelming you with tons of information you don’t know what to do with. It also helps you understand what to do about the data, for example if you need to take extra recovery time if you’re rate is slower than normal. A 12-month membership, which you can buy as a gift, is £229.
