For et par dage siden udgav min søde kæreste en liste over hvad en mand i virkeligheden ønsker sig til jul. Listen er lavet i samarbejde med 10 moderne mænd, og giver gode bud på den perfekte julegave til manden der har alt, eller bare det meste ;-). Det kan nemlig være rigtig svært at finde på en god gave år efter år, så lidt hjælp udefra med at finde den perfekte julegave til manden er altid dejligt! Så hvis du endnu ikke har fået købt julegave til din kæreste, bror eller mand, så kan du lige nå at få lidt god inspiration med herunder.

Kærligst Astrid <3

Christmas is for sure closing in. Mariah Carey is preaching about what she wants for Christmas, but what is actually on the wishlist for a modern man? Instead of just branching out on what I want personally would put on my wish list, well then I’ve sought out inspiration from 10 modern men trying figure out what men really want for Christmas. So no matter if this list is for your own inspiration, or if you are trying to figure out a gift, then there should be something valuable.

We’ll start out with some fashion and accessories, before moving onto topics such as electronics, grooming and much more.

FASHION

A COAT

A long coat is a piece that instantly classes up an outfit. Here are 2 good options.

The Danish minimalistic brand Norse Projects delivers a classic navy overcoat in a regular fit for 4.000 DKK HERE

Parisian nonchalance is easily achieved by wearing AMI – and who wouldn’t want that? This belted coat costs 7.120 DKK  3.560 DKK at AMI’s own webshop HERE. 

KNIT JUMPER

During these winter months a man can always do with a crisp jumper. He is able to wear it underneath a suit or with a pair jeans. This one from Selected comes in a trendy color and insinuates that the man underneath is aware what is currently going on. Shop it for 400 DKK HERE (affiliate).

CORDUROY TROUSERS

Digging up trend pieces worth putting on your wishlist for this winter then a pair of corduroy trousers definitely needs to be involved. For example these brown ones from Zara retailing at 549 DKK HERE. 

SWEAT PANTS

Upgrade your weekend attire with a pair of sweat pants that is not all washed out. For example these slim Tommy Hilfiger sweats that is chic enough to be worn outside of your hut as well. Shop the HERE (affiliate) for 1095 DKK.

TRENDY SNEAKERS

Women loves shoes, but so do men. So how about a pair of Adidas by Raf Simons Ozweego III? They are up for grabs at Farfetch retailing at 2881 DKK HERE

NEAT BOOTS

If you, or the man your Christmas shopping for, is not really into those trend sneakers, then he is probably into boots. These Sendra boots comes in a perfect gloss finish and is classy but can easily be worn with a rugged outfit. Shop the HERE.

A WATCH

I personally don’t believe in the saying that ‘the watch is the only piece of jewellery a man is allowed to wear’. However, the watch is definitely something that sits perfect around any man’s wrist.

Wooden watches are in my opinion not a go to, but I must admit, that this Vejrhøj watch would fit incredible well with a suit. The metal components really makes the watch into somewhat of a hybrid, in a way that do both the materials and the watch justice. Shop the watch HERE for €225.

If the wooden components isn’t of interest, then Komono delivers sleek minimalistic designs at a very affordable price. The Komono Lewis can end up underneath the tree for €140. Find it HERE. 

BUMBAG

Bumbags, or any smaller bag carried by a man, is often a topic of heavy discussion. But since several of the questioned pointed out this (exact) bag, well, then I had to include it.  The perfect shapes of this Prada baby is really something for it self. The retail is at a high of €650, but the bag is actually fairly big. Shop it HERE.

WARM GLOVES

A man should never be without a good pair of gloves. The scandinavian winters are simply too cold to be without such. These from Diesel even covers your wrist up as well. The price for these are DKK 999 at Zalando (affiliate).

RUNNING WEAR

Once December is over it will be safe to assume that we’ve all put on a little extra blanket of fat. A great motivator to get rid of it is to receive some refreshingly new exercise gear – like this cool running shirt from DOXA run. DKK 800 DKK 400 HERE.

GROOMING

SKINCARE

Skincare is definitely not only for women. Though we men genetically have a stronger skin, then it’s no excuse to not take care of your skin.

This Aesop Collective Care for Combination skin is priced at $117 HERE.

Another skin care product created for men’s skin is the Beauté Pacifique Masculinity series. This gift box retails for only DKK 350, and gives great results. In my personal opinion. Shop it HERE (affiliate).

SHAVING GEAR

Good shaving products really makes a big difference no matter if it is a full shave or just about keeping the neck clean.

Barberians CPH badger hair shaving brush DKK 549 HERE

Noberu shaving cream DKK 139 HERE

Noberu After Shave Balm DKK 209 HERE

ELECTRONICS

HEADPHONES

If the receiver is into innovative technologies then these NURA headphones may be just the right thing. They alter the frequences to adjust perfectly for your ear. Buy them HERE.

EARBUDS

On the other hand there are B&O Play E8. These in ears combine a classic design tradition with top quality sound and innovative features. Shop them HERE.

PORTABLE SPEAKER

Not being able to carry your gloomy and moody Tom Odell tunes with you can be a real buzz kill. No matter if you are going from the livingroom to the kitchen or a out hiking in the woods. This is covered with the BOSE soundlink micro. Shop it HERE.

PORTABLE HARD DRIVE

Tired of running out of GBs on the laptop? Not for the next while with this 2TB WD. It’s small and powerfull. Shop it HERE.

KITCHEN

STAND MIXER

Cooking can be joyful, but let’s be honest, we could all use an extra hand with the mixing. The Kenwood KM 020 Titanium is that helping hand – and comes in a beautiful clean design.

BAKE STEEL

If the receiver of the gift likes pizza with a crisp crust (like the rest of us!), then a bake steel may be your new best friend. Shop one HERE.

COFFEE GRINDER

One of the secrets to good coffee is a good grinder. Not many are aware of this, but a good grinder makes a world of a difference. This Ascaso grinder should do the job! Shop it HERE.

Now that you have the ground, then you want to make it into drinkable coffee. This can be done in several ways; French press, Aeropress or espresso just name a few.

Aeropress HERE

LEISURE

YOGA MAT

Not only women do yoga. A sleek black yoga mat can be found HERE.

BIKE UPGRADE

Especially people living in Copenhagen will understand the need for a proper bike. Instead of buying a new one, you might be able to upgrade your current situation. For example with this sleek AEROSPOKE front wheel. Can be found HERE.

HOME

Chair(s)

Chairs can be both functional but also highly decorative. This Vitra chair is definitely highly decorative! Find it HERE.

POSTERS

An easy way to update the home is placing a few new posters on the wall. The posters from Danish Molekylen gives a somewhat chemistry like and humorous vibe to the room. Find them HERE.

SEWING KIT

If the recipient (or his mother) is tired of having to go either the tailor or his mother for quick fixes, then this might be the perfect little gift. Shop a kit HERE.

Okay, so I hope that you found this list useful – no matter if you were searching for inspiration for your own wishlist. As said, then its based on 10 recipients delivering their personal wishes, and then boiled down to this. So it’s safe to say that, this is what men really want for Christmas.

A heartfelt thank you to the ones that contributed. If you feel that anything is missing, then let me know down in the comments.

Best Regards,
