Birthdays, anniversaries, graduation, festivals such as Eid and Christmas have one thing in common - presents. For most of us, it seems far easier to pick up gifts for women, children, and even pets. Maybe it's because the products and experiences for this target audience is often advertised in brighter colours, pastel tones, bolder fonts and frilly aesthetics that make it easier to notice. Or maybe, we tend to apply our own idea of what we'd want when buying potential gifts. When it comes to buying gifts for men, however, there is a strange divide. The man of today is rather metrosexual, but he wouldn't want anything overly feminine. While classy pens and luxury cuff links remain on top, men are more interested in aesthetics, lifestyle, self-care and fitness

He is wary of the environment around him. He cleans up after himself, keeps an eye on consumption and does his best to reduce waste for the good of mankind.Â

Kombucha tea: Gift him a basket of good health. Kombucha is a fermented tea drink that contains probiotics. It has become the latest health fad in the past months for being 100 per cent raw, organic, low in sugar and having unpasteurised nutrients that aid in gut health.Â

For the time-keeper
He is organised, likes to be on time and believes that a watch is an essential accessory to complete aesthetics. He embraces classics over modern, and maintains a smart profile, no matter where he goes.
Titan Grandmaster II: The watch is part of Titan's Regalia men's collection and inspired by a game of chess. It has chiselled features with marble as a primary material in its construction.
