If your man has been complaining of stiff or tensed muscle of late, this might just be the ideal gift to splurge on.
2. Nintendo Switch Gen 2 from Qisahn
Some time last year, Nintendo has released an upgraded version of the Nintendo Switch. Dubbed as the Nintendo Switch Gen 2, the new device now boasts a longer battery life and would make any avid console gamers swoon, given its eclectic selection of exclusive games which can be played on TV or in handheld or tabletop modes. If you are feeling even more generous, why not add a video game or two?
3. MOMENTUM True Wireless by Sennheiser
Infusing state-of-the-art technology and modern design together, the MOMENTUM True Wireless earbuds would make any audiophiles’ hearts flutter.

5. Hyaluronic Acid Serum & My Daily Dose of Vitamins ABC +
Elevate your man’s skincare routine with Skin Inc’s Hyaluronic Acid Serum and My Daily Dose of ABC. The former not only helps to hydrate the skin, but also keep oily skin at bay too — if your man suffers from an oily T-zone, this is for him.
The latter, however, packs quite the punch. Enriched with vitamin A, hyaluronic acid and chlorella extract, My Daily Dose of ABC effortlessly tackles the signs of aging (dull skin, pigmentation and dark eye circles) in the skin while providing hydration at the same time. Both serums should be use after a toner — if he doesn’t already know, perhaps it’s time for a educational facial pampering session between you two?
6. Treatment Styling Balm by Morris Motley
One of the best styling balms out there — think mineral-packed, citrus-esque scented, lightweight creme with a strong matte texture (and nourishes the scalp at the same time). This one also promises a long-lasting firm, but pliable hold onto the hair. From the Melbourne-base The Morris Montley Studio, the Treatment Styling Balm is especially suited for those yearning to add volume to his hair.
7. A Fresh Cut by Telja Studios
When it comes to gifting, male grooming products can easily satisfy the pickiest and fussiest man of the lot. But why just stop there? Take it a step further with a beauty overhaul with Telja Studios. I mean, there is no harm helping him look a little dapper on a date night, right?
8. Porthos Briefcase by Gnome & Bow
A carryall to bring along the everyday necessities to and fro work, the Porthos briefcase by Gnome & Bow — the world’s first storytelling bags — makes for an appealing, stylish addition to his collection.
And since there are only 50 exclusive pieces of such available worldwide, I’m sure your guy will appreciate this statement piece.
