Finding the perfect holiday gift for your modern gentleman spouse, friend, or relative is easier said than done. You see, modern gentlemen come in many shapes and sizes. They pursue different causes and hobbies, but one thing that unites them is their passion for whatever they pursue.
As a website that caters to the modern debonair gentleman, we know precisely what intrigues and captures his interest. Our holiday gift guide will make the task of getting that perfect gift a lot less daunting.
Old-fashioned Whiskey Glasses
Also known as a rocks glass or lowball, old-fashioned whiskey glasses bring elegance and class to the whiskey drinking experience. If your modern gentleman is a whiskey aficionado, he probably already owns several whiskey glasses. Why don’t you take this festive season as an opportunity to add to his collection?
These tumblers are short and stout with a wide mouth that allows all those wonderful whiskey and aromas to waft up to your nostrils. If you have read our article: Ultimate Gentleman’s Guide to Drinking Whiskey Etiquette, you know by now that choosing the right whiskey glass is essential for a fulfilling whisky experience.
Wondering which old fashioned whiskey glasses to buy? We recommend the Venero Crystal Set of 4 Rocks Glasses, which comes already packaged in a gift box.
Portable Wine Rack
Maybe that gentleman in your life fancies a glass wine over whiskey. That is perfectly fine! Afterall every true gentleman should have a basic knowledge of wine because not all occasions call for hard drinks. Any wine enthusiast will tell you that wine has a long, rich history.
Also, wine vineyards are some of the most beautiful places on this planet. That said, you don’t have to get him a bottle of wine that might only last a meal. Instead, a portable wine rack that can be placed strategically anywhere in the house is the ultimate gift for a wine lover. Check out our portable wine rack collections.

Shaving Kit
Grooming and hygiene are a core part of the modern gentleman’s lifestyle. After all, he values how he looks and puts in the effort to look his best. A key part of grooming is proper shaving. No matter what you might have heard, a neglected designer stubble is not a flattering look.
There’s a wide variety of shaving products to choose from in the market, and more are coming out every day. That’s where a shaving kit comes to the rescue as it takes the guesswork out of the equation. Instead of walking around the store with a basket full of products, trying to guess what to get for the gentlemen in your life, a shaving set offers everything you need in one package.
Some of the best and versatile shaving kits in the market include Dollar Club Gift Set and the old school Gentleman Jon Complete Wet Shave Kit.
