I doubt this will come as a surprise but a vast majority, of the people who read this newsletter are men. Nothing wrong with that, in fact, I say: Greetings, gentlemen! Glad you’re here. Now let’s take a break from considering the best chinos or whether it’s the winter to get into bas-Armagnac. Let’s think about the best gifts for her.


FOR THE HOUSE. My thought about presents for the home is that they shouldn’t cover a large area—no rugs or imposing artwork—unless they’ve been specifically discussed beforehand or you have the inside track on a print you know she loves. Smaller, everyday objects—now we’re talking.
