I absolutely LOVE buying presents for people, I think its the most personal thing to give someone a present in which you spend weeks thinking about what your going to get them (well I do), remembering all those little things that the person loves, to then select the gifts which you hope they will love as much as you do and is a true representation of themselves and what they adore!
I always find it slightly harder to buy for males, just because the males in my life including my little boy seem to have everything already they want, or at least everything within reasonable cost, No Chris i will not buy you an Eventide Space no matter how many times you add it to your Christmas and Birthday lists! haha!
I came across a gorgeous range of gifts which is ideal for your Dads, Granddads, Brothers or any male you need to get a lovely gift for so thought I would do a review on them and talk you through some of my best picks! so here Goes..
There is so much of this kind of design about at the moment, originating from Restoration Hardware In America, This is one of my favourite stores for inspiration on Gifting / Gadget collections... The pricing can be expensive but there packaging is rustic with great hand drawn images and their product selection is often random but very fun and some cool gadgets suited for everyone!
The Gentleman's Hardware range is a small and concise collection of products which is aimed around 'everything you need for that dapper gentleman' There's nothing better than seeing a Sharp, Smart Man and especially if they have the accessories to go with it, its just the perfect finishing touch.
Firstly lets talk about the packaging of these gifts, which i absolutely love, how a gift is packaged is as important as what the actual gift is!
They all come in a variety of hard boxes with a craft paper lid or a craft paper wrap band printed with the fabulous graphics and typography and bright coloured labels to give it that modern touch.

My Top 3 Picks
The range consists of products such as Waiters Friend, Pen and Pencil Set, Shoe Shine Kit, Tablet Case, Hip Flask and a Gorgeous Globe... All the products are great gifts which can be suited to almost all males and for a varied age too!
#1 Has to be the globe, this is on the top price bracket i know, but i just think this is a piece that will last and can be used in someones office, it would look amazing on a side table in a lounge of the best idea yet is to have it as your bedside lamp as it has a nifty light inside which when turned on creates the perfect ambiance!
The 25mm diameter globe shows off the gorgeous vintage map and comes on a chrome stand and base mixing vintage with modern perfectly.
To complete this the piece comes in a brilliant gift box for that finishing touch.
#2 Is the 'Wet Your Whistle Hip Flask' I am seeing these come back into the market a lot more now, and there starting to become a bit of a fashion statement with quirky hip flask shapes, and silver flasks with obscure engravings to make them more risky!
This one is a a great circular shape in a lovely brushed stainless steel. It has embossed PU around the front with the 'Wet Your Whistle' wording and comes with a brilliant little nesting cup which is placed in the centre perfect for the people who like 'easy measuring'.
This makes an ideal gift for your dad or Granddad who likes a tipple whilst playing a round of golf, or also makes a brilliant gifts for the Best Man and Ushers at someones wedding!
#3 Is the 'Credit Where Credit Is Due Card Holder' This is a lovely little gift for someone, especially if they don't use a full wallet its a great holder to store your oyster cards, Starbucks card and so on. It is made from a lovely felt inner, and has gorgeous faux leather pockets either side for easy storage of multiple cards.
The pockets a lined to ensure cards are inserted and removed with no damage to the felt.
The front has the Gentleman's Hardware logo embossed and on the reverse has the slogan 'Credit Where Credit Is Due' I wish there was a female version of this as I want one!
Gentleman's Hardware Card Holder £11.99
