1. The Chukka Boot
This is the perfect year-round shoe, not too dressy, not too casual. Leather lined with a rubber sole, The Chukka Boot can be worn with jeans or a suit, and for my money, the medium brown suede is the perfect shade, and they will age well. You won’t look like Steve McQueen, but you will look cool.

2. Loewe liquid soap
It’s time for a new liquid soap to enter the race, and the Marihuana scent from Loewe’s perfume range is the perfect contender. Herbal, woodsy, and mature, it doesn’t smell like a cheap spliff.

3. The Hiking Boot
The Hiking Boot in black grain leather is a timeless silhouette that suits a variety of needs. Made to withstand the elements, the rubber sole provides plenty of grip, and the fold-over tongue will keep the elements out. A luxurious version of everyday footwear, even if you aren’t scaling the mountain.

4. Wythe Polo Coat
A great overcoat is hard to find. It needs to be perfectly oversized, warm, and durable. This one, an 80s-inspired polo coat from Wythe, is made in New York City from a custom-developed barleycorn tweed, woven in Donegal. It should last for many winters.

5. The Single Monkstrap
A loafer alternative, the single monk strap feels dressy, but not formal. I would say dressing them down makes the most sense; just put them on with jeans and a blazer and head out the door. If you overthink it, you might show up to the office looking like a Tumblr enthusiast from 2012, and we wouldn’t want that.

6. The best waste bin
Denmark-based Vipp makes the best waste bin on the planet. This 8-gallon version in white, first designed in 1939, would be the perfect gift for anyone on your list. Made from powder-coated steel and stainless steel, it was accepted into the architecture and design collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York.
