Christmas Gift Guide For Him And Her

It's a time of giving and receiving, of surprise and excitement, of wishes to be fulfilled and gifts to be shared. And, if this year the list of people you have to buy for is long - keep calm - The Mint Company is here to help you get the best Christmas gifts to close 2023.

Whether it's because that person 'already has everything', or because every year you're faced with the impossible task of impressing them, or simply because you don't really know their personal tastes; whatever the reason you've landed here, we'll make sure these tips help you hit the mark.

For her

Handbags

You may be thinking "no way, she already has too many...". But stop right there! The word too many will never come out of a woman's mouth when the conversation turns to handbags. Why? Not only are they great accessories to complete an outfit, but there are so many styles for so many occasions, you'll just have to ask yourself which one suits your special someone best.

Is she a workaholic? A stylish tote bag or shopper bag will be the ideal choice. Does she spend hours and hours on a plane? Choose between a weekend bag, a trolley, or a travel suitcase. Is she a gym-addict? A gym bag or backpack is the perfect choice for fitness enthusiasts. Does she spend her days and nights going from event to event? With a clutch or handbag - whether basic or printed - you'll definitely win her over. Not much of a bag person, but need a place to keep her things? Don't miss our selection of fanny packs, from streetwear trends to the most elegant options.

Sneakers

Over the past few years, trainers have become a must-have for every self-respecting fashionista. The sneaker game has changed completely and new rules apply to the latest trends: from the office to special occasions.

With so many options and styles to choose from, it is impossible not to find the one that will surprise her. There are the more casual ones - totally acceptable for any kind of date - with brands such as Autry or Veja. There are classic running shoes for those who love running, hiking, or trekking, with brands such as On and Hoka One One. The new Adidas Originals launches will surprise even the most experts. Or, if you are looking for elegant pieces that speak for themselves and have an almost infinite lifespan, we recommend you take a look at Golden Goose or Isabel Marant.

Scarves and shawls

The scarf lives up to its promise. It promised to be one of the most versatile (and stylish) accessories of 2023, and it hasn't disappointed its followers - the possibilities are endless! For the neck (classic style), as a top (the most daring), as a hair accessory (only the glamorous will understand), or as a belt (let the return of the 2000s be noticed).

In this family, we cannot forget the scarf, which is also a must-have for the winter season. In wool, there are plain and printed options, in various widths and lengths. And for the warmer months, there are linen and silk versions. The best thing about giving a scarf as a gift? These pieces are more affordable than other textile pieces from the same brand and the quality is excellent, so you won't find a better alternative in terms of value for money.

For him

T-shirts

Some men prefer button-down shirts, others polo shirts, but what every man has, likes, and needs is undoubtedly the T-shirt. The versatile garment par excellence and the star of the festive season.

We can't talk about T-shirts without mentioning our brands. They are responsible for giving each garment a touch of elegance or a touch of urban culture. In other words, a white T-shirt with the BAPE logo is the ideal gift for a streetwear fan, while a T-shirt in the same colour with the Ami Paris logo is much chicer. In the same way, Comme des Garçons, Kenzo or Jacquemus are for those who are more daring or want to add a touch of fun to their look, as opposed to more serious brands such as Emporio Armani, Stone Island or Boss.

Sweatshirts

Fifty years ago, the sweatshirt was an extremely limited garment: young, sporty, and casual. Today, with the rise of new trends such as athleisure or "comfort first", we shouldn't be surprised to see a sweatshirt paired with a blazer or even together with loafers. As times have changed, this garment has now a place in every wardrobe, even after the age of 50.

The variety of styles, prices, cuts, and colours is endless. The importance of choosing the right material depends on their activities. Is he very sporty? Opt for technical and breathable fabrics such as polyester or nylon. Does he like outdoor activities? Wool or fleece is the best insulator. Does he put comfort above all else? Cotton is a stretchy option that allows great freedom of movement. Looking for an option for cooler days? Fleece or wool is the answer you've been looking for.

Plus, we tell you the secrets to choosing the ideal collar: crew neck - classic, comfortable, and versatile; V-neck - trendy, perfect for layering; and turtle neck - chic, sophisticated look, perfect for cold weather.

Jeans

When it comes to jeans, it doesn't matter how old you are, if you are a man or a woman, your profession, your age, or where you come from. Without a doubt, we are talking about the most democratic garment in any wardrobe, and given the huge number of times we wear them, they couldn't be missing in this post. No matter how many you have, one more pair of jeans is always welcome in your wardrobe.

If you don't know which one to choose, we'll help you with a few tips. For slim or athletic men, slim-fit or straight-leg jeans are usually very flattering, as they highlight the silhouette without being too tight. For taller men, mid-rise or high-waisted jeans are the solution, balancing the length of the torso and legs. On the other hand, for those with short legs, low-rise jeans will work better, as they visually lengthen the legs. And, in terms of style? For the more classic, straight-leg or bootcut jeans are safe and timeless options, while for the more modern, slim-fit or skinny jeans can adapt to a more contemporary look.
