Buying gifts for men is often seen as difficult, especially when it’s birthday or Christmas presents and you’re spending a bit more money on them (if they’ve been good!). But there’s a wide variety of cool gifts out there – if you look in the right places. Here’s a small selection from companies offering a range of prices and product types that we think will make great gifts for the man in your life, be they your partner, your dad or even your son-in-law!
Forbidden Hill
These Ban Zu Cufflinks by Forbidden Hill are inspired by motifs from Chinese ceramics in ancient Singapore. The 18k Rose Gold Vermeil in Obsidian Black, pictured above, are $305; they feature 925 sterling silver covered with 2.5 micron thick rose gold-plating and resin insets. There are different designs and also a selection of cuffs.
These finely crafted accessories will make great Christmas presents for men in Singapore; all the designs have a Southeast Asia focus, set against precious metals such as gold, sterling silver and rhodium.
