Gifts for Men

Gift ideas for the man who has everything tend to fail the same way: they are a better version of something he already owns.

What works is a present he would never have thought to buy for himself.

These are incense beads. Agarwood and sandalwood, ground to powder in a stone mortar, bound into a paste, then rolled between the palms one bead at a time. Nothing is moulded, and no fragrance is sprayed on afterwards — the scent is inside the bead, which is why it does not wash off.

Every ingredient is listed. No proprietary blend.

Bracelets, a ring, and a charm for a bag or a set of keys. Unusual gifts for men who are hard to buy for — a birthday, an anniversary, or a father who insists he wants nothing.
