Posted on: December 15th, 2024 – Words by Tobias Wightman

Late with your holiday gifting? It was always going to happen, wasn’t it? Don’t fret, we’re here to make your rush job look like a well-thought-out master plan. We’ve handpicked 12 Wax pieces that are guaranteed to put a smile on your giftee’s face. The only choice you need to make is how generous you’re feeling this year.

Amble - Black Milano-Knit Long Sleeve Polo

We all know someone whose wardrobe could use a little intervention. You don’t have all the money in the world to solve their issues, of course, but we’ve got just the thing to help: the versatile Amble. This cotton-cashmere blend polo does it all - cardigan, shirt, jacket - making it the ultimate triple threat. It’s like gifting them three pieces in one, without breaking the bank.

Stan - Brown Fleck Tweed Car Coat

Feeling generous? Show them you care with the gift of the Stan coat. Heavy-duty outerwear is a seasonal must-have - something every man needs but rarely buys for himself. Built to last a lifetime, the Stan in brown tweed is more than a coat; it’s a timeless statement. And their gratitude? That’ll last just as long.

Malham - Navy Pinstripe Wool Trousers

You can’t go wrong with a great pair of smart trousers, and the Malhams are up there with the best. Their wide cut and versatile style make them perfect for both formal and casual looks. Plus, the half-elasticated waistband is ideal for Christmas dinner indulgence. If your giftee is feeling fancy for New Year’s, point them in the direction of our matching Fintry single-breasted or Gekko double-breasted blazers for the full suit effect.

Belvoir - Orange Wool Fisherman Beanie

This one’s a guaranteed winner. The Belvoir, crafted from 100% RWS lambswool, is the ultimate beanie to keep their head warm on the chilliest days. Plus, if you ask us, accessories are the perfect place to introduce a pop of colour if you're buying for a monochrome man.

Brodie - Black Stretch Cotton Boxers

Every guy wears them - well, hopefully. The Brodie boxers are a new addition to Wax, just in time to make perfect stocking fillers. Made from soft, premium stretch-cotton and designed for a perfect fit, they’re an easy win for any giftee. Available with a multibuy discount offer.

Whiting - Orange Pike Check Overshirt

It wouldn’t be a Wax list if we didn’t include a Whiting overshirt now would it? This one just happens to be our most popular - and for good reason, too. The pike Whiting is effortlessly wearable and versatile - it’s a shirt, a mid-layer, a jacket and the perfect gift.

Shelly - Stone Seersucker Corduroy Shirt

If you’re looking for something they can wear on the big day, then the Shelly shirt is the gift for them. This seersucker corduroy combo is a seasonal staple that can be worn well into Spring. It’s smart. It’s casual. It’s the gift on their wish list they never knew they needed.

Ripley & Hutton - Black & Beige Paisley Floral Loungewear

Let’s face it, the best part of the holidays is putting your feet up and doing nout. And to nail the art of doing nothing, you need to wear our new loungewear. Soft, cosy and the perfect thing to wear to nap your way through the holidays.

Wilde - Natural Fleck Wool Jumper

Let’s wrap up the list with a foolproof pick: a staple knitted jumper. The Wilde knit’s neutral colorway suits everyone - seriously, everyone. Warm from its wool-blend, textured with a ribbed knit, and effortlessly stylish without being boring, it’s the kind of gift that hits all the right notes. Sometimes, essentials really are the best presents.

S.T. Valentin - Black Grained Leather Deck Shoes

This one’s an investment piece that only gets better with age. S.T. Valentin’s leather deck shoes are handcrafted in Portugal from comfortable Italian full-grain leather and feature an EVA lightweight outsole. What that means to your eager recipient is that they can wear them out of the box with little-to-no break-in period - a gift for them and their delicate feet.

Bow - Black Striped Organic Cotton Rugby Shirt

Here’s one for the sporty types. Rugby polos are back in a big way and by gifting one of these, you’ll show your recipient that you’ve got your finger on the pulse of the latest trends. Trust us, the Bow will have them applauding you - and you might need to take a bow yourself.

Wilde - Black Brush Stripe Wool Jumper

A seasonal staple at Wax and soon to be one for your giftee too. Jumpers are a winter must, but a mohair-blend jumper? That’s a touch of luxury they’ll thank you for. Trust us, this gift will make you the talk of the dinner table.
