Every year my father insists he would like nothing for Christmas except world peace. Yes, you read correctly. As you can imagine, it’s incredibly annoying. So I’m left clueless and panicky on what’s always the trickiest name on everyone’s shopping list. If your father is anything like mine and doesn’t care for materialistic stuff, you’re probably rolling your eyes like me now. For the man who’s gone above and beyond on your behalf since birth, buying nothing for him (except world peace, of course) isn’t going to suffice.
You could play it safe with something practical like socks or a tie, but it just feels a bit too unimaginative; and festive jumpers are out too (sorry, not sorry). So from long-lasting leather wallets and great coffee machines, to cool gadgets and overnight travel bags, take inspiration from my edit full of items that aren’t only useful, but stylish too. Happy shopping.
