Ten Gifts for the Man Who Has Everything

Ten Gifts for the Man Who Has Everything

Make 2019 F*cking Amazing

Another pair of socks? We’d rather go barefoot than succumb to gift drudgery. Christmas is fast approaching and this is the year to up your present game. If you’re struggling to think of a gift for the man in your life, we wrote this post for you. If you are that man, read on, get inspired, then start dropping hints.

This list is all about experiences, not things. So you can steer clear of Amazon. Before we get stuck in it would be remiss of us not to mention the cut and shave at Huckle, surely one of the best ways a refined London gent can spend an hour or two.

In no particular order here are 10 incredible experiences for blokes who have everything.

1. Predator Adventures Thames experience

This 300-horsepower monster makes the RIB look like a child’s toy. Take your seat in the F16 cockpit and get ready for some mayhem on, above and below the water.
