Gifts for Him in Singapore: Ideas for Husbands, Boyfriends, Dads and Friends

Men are famously hard to shop for – "I don't need anything" is the usual answer. The trick is to pick something he'll actually use or show off, rather than another gadget that ends up in a drawer. Here are our ideas, grouped by the kind of guy you're buying for.

For the classic gentleman

Timeless pieces with a bit of old-school charm. A vintage pocket watch makes a memorable birthday or anniversary gift; a hip flask is one of our best sellers. Both work well for fathers and grandfathers too.

For the sharp dresser

Weddings, D&Ds and gala dinners come round every year. A bow tie and a newsboy cap give him an easy way to stand out without a whole new outfit.

For the host and the game-night guy

If he's the one who organises the gatherings, give him something to bring. Party card games and a roulette wheel are instant icebreakers; a Chinese chess set suits the strategist who prefers a quieter evening.

For the guy at the desk all day

Small, fun and useful during long work days – a pack of stress balls lives on the desk for years.

For dad

The pocket watch and hip flask above both make good gifts for fathers. For a Father's Day or birthday party, add a cake topper and a few balloons.
