It is officially the home stretch before Christmas. Judging by the number of flustered gentlemen I've seen in our store lately, there are still plenty of last minute shoppers out there. So, before you wake up to yet another new kitchen knife waiting under your tree ("but Honey, it's so practical!"), you many want to show the men in your life what you really want this year. I present to you: The No Guru Holiday Gift Guide, Men's Edition.
Note that this post can be shared (accidentally-on-purpose) with dads, brothers, boyfriends, husbands, best friends, and beyond using our handy 'share' tools at the top of the page (the icons right beside my beaming face). Send it out via Twitter, e-mail, Facebook, or 101 other ways that include pretty much everything except carrier pigeon.
Gift-giving 101: Things that are beautiful and/or cozy and do not require you to guess on sizing are always a good call. Bonus - accessories are still 25% off, so this bubble necklace is $25 $18 and this fringed infinity scarf is $32 now just $24.
Intermediate gift-giving: If you're set on gifting clothing, try an oversized knit. They're stylish and comfortable, and you still have a generous amount of leeway when it comes to sizes. The number on the left comes in Teal and Wine and has just been marked down to $48. And on the right, this zigzag sweater is available in Teal and Mustard for $55.
Professional gift-giving: If you think you're ready to go pro, our Tobias coats (designed and produced right here in Vancouver) are a guaranteed A+. Sizing is a liiiittle trickier, so if you're hemming and hawing between two sizes, go bigger. Most people will layer a knit under their coat, so a little extra room is a bonus. Higher risk, yes, but major points if you can pull it off. Our 3/4 length pea coat, in Black, Camel, and Navy (left) is now $265, down from $330. Our double-breasted pea coat (right) is also available in Black, Camel, and Navy, and is marked down at $225 (originally $295).
If all else fails, never fear! Plum also carries gift certificates in Beginner, Intermediate, and Professional gift-giving denominations.
