December is in full swing and the calendar is inexorably ticking away. Before we know it, we'll be decorating the tree, baking cakes and drinking Christmas punch. But before that, we all have to deal with the much-maligned shopping spree. And while gift shopping can be a pain in the ass, we at Alain Delon are trying to make it a little easier this year. Here's a quick Gift Guide for everyone, whether the recipient is a fashionista or a sports fan.
For the classics
Mr. Classic is a sophisticated gentleman who knows what's good. He likes to indulge in quality things, but he avoids anything that deviates from the traditional form. He shaves with a razor, drinks quality whiskey and doesn't own sweatpants. If you don't know what would please him, don't panic. A simple white shirt, an elegant wallet or a briefcase will never disappoint. If you know that he often wears a suit, you can't go wrong with a nice tie. And if you don't want to miss the mark, a good bottle is a guarantee of success.
For the athlete
One weekend he skis in the mountains, the next he climbs the walls of the High Tatras, only to go for a run in the morning during the week and jump in to play tennis in the evening. If you also have an active athlete at home, you certainly know that he feels best when he is moving. So treat him to a gift that will not only be nice, but also functional. Does he ride a bike? A quality light or repair tools will score points all over the place. However, if you are not familiar with his sport, how about giving him a sports belt, sweater or scarf that will keep him warm during evenings at the cottage?
For the design enthusiast
It's really hard to buy a gift for someone who is very clear about what they like and don't like. But it's also an opportunity for you to choose something a little more daring. If you're wondering what someone who likes design would like, an interesting 90s-style sweater is all the rage right now, as are shirts with a bold pattern. You can't go wrong with a bow tie with a geometric pattern either. Add an interesting design book to it and you've got a great gift!
For the minimalist
A person who follows the minimalist trend doesn't need much in principle. He dresses simply, doesn't buy unnecessary things. He will be even more pleased if he gets something of good quality that will last him for many years. An interesting coffee set in a minimalist design will guarantee that he will think of you every morning. If you would like to give him something practical, choose a simple black turtleneck or a minimalist unlined jacket. If you don't dare to guess the size, there is the option of a nice wallet or even a recycled backpack or laptop sleeve (you can find it in the Nosene store ).
For the homebody
Is your loved one one of those who prefers to spend time in the comfort of their own home ? For them, the best evening is a good movie on TV or a glass of wine with a book in hand? If so, a comfortable sweatshirt or a traditional casual shirt are the right way to go. A subscription to a favorite streaming service or magazine will also definitely hit the spot. Good board games are ideal for spending time together under a blanket in the living room.
