The most-wanted men's gifts this season

The most-wanted men's gifts this season are fragrance, wallets, warm accessories and watches. Fragrance, wallets, warm accessories and watches are the categories men are asking for most this season. Use this list to decide quickly, then buy the one that suits him.

Fragrance gifts

Fragrance from Dior, Balenciaga and Emporio Armani is the gift men ask for most often. Gift sets let him try a scent in several sizes. Choose a classic scent if you are unsure.

Wallets worth a wrap

Wallets and card holders from Ferragamo, Tumi and Vivienne Westwood are the small gift with the biggest daily use. Slim leather designs suit most men. A money clip is an alternative.

Cold-weather extras

Scarves, gloves and hats from Vivienne Westwood, Moncler and Balenciaga are practical and easy to size. Wool and cashmere are the best fibers. A plain color suits everything.

Our honest take

Most-wanted lists reward the obvious, and obvious can be dull. We would still choose a fragrance or a wallet over a novelty.

Check what he already owns before you buy from a list. A duplicate watch or a fourth wallet is not helpful. Ask someone close to him, look at his regular routine and choose the category where he is clearly under-served. Gifts with a purpose are used more. Read the return window on anything you cannot size, and send fragrance in its original box.

If you take one thing away: choose the gift he uses daily, because that is the one that gets remembered.
