This years Modern man is Marc who has a birthday coming up. We usually ‘pool’ our birthday gifts as mine is only two weeks after his, so we turn the money we would have spent on unnecessary gifts into a fun weekend away together…

Gifts for the Modern man

I do like to pack a few gifts to take with me. I then present them to him at breakfast and dinner as surprises. These gifts however come with certain specifications in that they have to be…

Small enough to hide in my packing,
Well priced
Amusing
Useful

So where would you go shopping for gifts like this? I turn to my fave online shop Rex london

it never lets me down and fulfills all of the above! This year I have chosen five things from the range The Modern Man it makes shopping sooo easy

1. The Birthday card: keeping it simple but stylish, I will slip it under his pillow!

2. The Shoeshine kit: So handy to keep in you carry on, this one is lovely quality too. A modern man always needs shiney shoes and Marc’s old one is falling to pieces.

3. The wash bag, You can never have too many, and it can double up as a portable emergency tool bag. ‘Be prepared’ surely every good boy Scout knows that

4. A handy dandy mens manicure kit, the one he uses at the moment is one of those cheap freebie hotel ones.

5. A simple clothes brush, boring you may think? aha but you have to know your modern man, Marc has a lovely black winter coat that shows up every spec of lint or dog hair so he usually uses sellotape to smarten it up before wearing.
