Fashionable Birthday Gifts For Him

 When it comes to gift shopping, I always find that the most challenging people to shop for are dad, brother-in-law, guy friend, significant other, etc. Maybe it’s because I am a woman, but I feel like there is larger amount of gifting options for women than there are for men… To make gift shopping for the men in out life slightly easier, Peter Minkoff is guest posting on the blog today and sharing a few fashionable gifts for him!

You’ve come to the perfect place if a man in your life, whom you cherish and love, has a birthday coming up. Finding birthday presents for men entails getting to know them well enough to choose items that they’ ll value highly. If you choose wisely, fashionable birthday gifts for him can bring happiness, enthusiasm, and inspiration. Here are stylish and fashionable birthday suggestions that will aid him in further developing his look and continue to be chic and trendy in any situation.

 

A new pair of underwear

You can give your birthday boy as a surprise a pair of new underwear. It’s something that we all need, so it surely won’t go unused. The foundation of any remarkable outfit is the undergarment, and a nice pair of boxers or briefs will keep any guy well-stocked with fashionable, flexible, moisture-wicking underwear. If you don’t want to risk it, opt for the best men’s underwear to buy for every body type. Just pick a length that’s comfortable for him, and he’s good to go.

A classic polo shirt

There are times when it’s wise to choose a traditional present that will please any guy, and that’s a classic polo shirt. A polo is a classic piece of apparel that is appropriate for every situation, including casual Fridays at work, first dates on the weekend, and leisurely picnics on the weekend. If your birthday boy loves to stand out and be fashionable, avoid ordinary polos and choose terry cloth shirts for men instead and get that classic look with a modern thin fit and accent elements. He’ll feel quite cozy thanks to the terry fabric, made from organic cotton. Regardless of the situation, this ace-up-your-sleeve is wonderful for summer days and gives him the perfect balance of ease and refinement.

 

Trendy accessories

Accessorizing and making a statement are key components of fashion. You may best express yourself and flaunt your sense of style by using accessories. Look for scarves and hats if the man you’re buying for loves to accessorize. A pair of leather gloves will keep him warm and fashionable when winter arrives. One can opt to wear a chic timepiece to improve their appearance. Consider getting him a watch that he’ll like wearing in this case. If you know his preferred looks, feel free to splurge on a watch.

A stylish belt

Daily attire that’s stylish and practical enhances a man’s appearance and belts are one such item. Even though they can go unnoticed, their absence is undoubtedly intimidating to an outfit. In particular, for any professional or business owner, their absence is quite revealing. Men’s belts make thoughtful presents because they’re practical, worn daily, and set the tone for the man’s attire. Try to look for belts for men that are precisely cut, feature a high-end design. You might also want to look at some fashionable brown and black leather belts as a nice touch to the outfit of your birthday boy.

Cashmere sweaters

A cashmere sweater will provide all the coziness and comfort you may require if you’re alone and need to stay warm. A cashmere sweater not only feels warm, but it also unquestionably looks chic. For added sophistication, wear a dress shirt underneath. To add class and value to any outfit, think about wearing a cashmere turtleneck. Because the sweaters are so adaptable, he’ll be able to pair them with a variety of bottoms, such as jeans and casual pants.

A classy tie

Even today, wearing a tie is the mark of a gentleman whether it’s at a formal occasion, a family gathering, or even at work. Men’s ties never go out of style since they’re more than just a piece of clothing. They produce an appearance and presence that define a man’s position and demonstrate the lifestyle he chooses. You can choose a gift that precisely complements the man’s preferences and way of life from among the many various colors, textures, designs, and fabrics available out there.

A personalized gift box

When you’re not sure which gift to choose, choose several and make up a practical gift box. Along with a flask, add a belt and wallet to the mix. You can give the man in your life a stylish present with a pricey bottle of wine or strong liquor, some Cuban cigars, and possibly a bow tie.


Even though buying gifts for birthdays isn’t always simple, it doesn’t have to be difficult. With these fashionable birthday gift ideas, you can quickly choose the most stylish gift for him without too much hassle.

Fall(ing) With Summersalt

 Summersalt is widely known for their amazing swimsuits, most of which are currently one sale right now… Until I started working with Summersalt I never really paid attention to any of their other items that they offer: sweaters, shirts, joggers, hoodie, jackets, pajamas, etc. – I have to admit, that I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of all of their items! Even as I write this I am wearing one of their sweaters that I am completely obsessed with.

I am sure a lot of you are like me and were completely out of the loop on just how amazing their other items are. So… I thought I would share a few of my personal favorite Summersale items and a few items I have my eye on with you all! To receive $10 towards your Summersalt order, be sure to use code: LAURENJS10

The Flirty Ruffle Sleeve Sweater

This is the first Summersalt sweater that I tried, and it was love at first sight and touch. I love a ruffle detail anything and this sweater has the perfect amount of a statement ruffle. If you live in a city where you still need a transition piece or if you have warmer winters, then you 100% need this sweater!

The Coziest Cahsmere Blend Hoodie and Jogger

This Cashmere Blend Hoodie and Jogger outfit is a complete dream! It is like slipping into the safest, warmest hug ever, and sometimes that is a need after a hard day or week. I love the fact that these pieces are sold separately so you can either purchase one or the other, or purchase different sizes to create the perfect fit! This will be your new favorite outfit!

The Luxe Cashmere Blend Two-Tone Sweater

This is the sweater I am wearing while writing this post… The quality of this sweater is amazing, it looks more expensive than it actually is, and it is super soft complete with a very flattering fit. This is a fall and winter must-have for everyone!

The Reversible Eco Quilted Lightweight Jacket

I have been eyeing this item… it comes in 4 different colors, but I personally love the navy and light blue combination. Plus, blue is universally flattering. This is another Summersalt item that I feel looks far more expensive than it actually is. 

The Luxe Cashmere Blend Mix Stitch Sweater

This is a new item for Summersalt, but how perfect is this sweater! I love the style of this sweater, the colors it is available in, and the fact that it looks a little old school. Will definitely be adding this one to my Summersalt collection!

The Luxe Pima Long-Sleeve Statement Tee

I have worn this Tee countless times and I have only had it since September… The Pima fabric is sooo soft and it is a great piece that can be worn alone or as a layering piece!

Links I'm Loving

 I usually do these posts on Fridays, but I have been so bad about posting on here this month. I promise I will post on here more regularly, especially with the holiday season coming up! Since I haven’t done one of these in a little while I thought it would be fun to switch things up and share a few of my favorite links to start off the week! 

 

One// Sarah Flint Rose’s Parker Sling 50

The Rose’s Parker Sling 50 is such a dream and so perfect for the upcoming holiday season. The deep yellow amber suede and gold satin that make up this shoe is just such a stunning combination. Sarah Flint designed this shoe with tastemake Rose Dadouchic as part of her Visions of Vienna Collection, and this pump really is such a vision, love it! Use code: SARAHFLINT-BALAURENAID for $50 off your first pair of Sarah Flint Shoes!!

 

Two// MAE Outerwear

Sarah Mae of Mae, Mae’s in NYC just released the most beautiful collection of coats for the fall and winter season and I am completely swooning over each and every one of them. The classic lines complete with embellished bow buttons is just everything. My person favorite is the Sophia Coat in Glen Plaid… Use code: SOUTHERNGRACE10 to receive 10% off your entire Mae purchase!

 

Three// Ree Drummond Individual Caramel Cakes

I love the way pumpkin spice smells, but when it comes to actually eating something, I am much more of an apple cinnamon and caramel fall person… Is it just me or do individual desserts just seem cuter? This Individual caramel cake from Ree Drummond looks absolutely delicious! 

 

Four// Maxwell & Geraldine Fall Collection

Maxwell & Geraldine is a newish to me company I love their overall aesthetic. I just ordered my first ever item from them last week and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Kate Dress in Blackwatch Plaid and the order arrived in less than a week with regular shipping and their shipping packaging was fantastic.

 

Five// The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5

The Handmaid’s Tale is such a nail bitter of a show this season… I have to pause it and take a break during the episodes on multiple occasions. If you are on the search for a show to binge, I highly recommend this one.
