Are you or the men in your life savvy travellers. Or are they clumsy and all over the show going through customs?? Whatever your style, I’m sure you are a savvy traveller… but some guys are so hard to buy for; especially Dads, Brothers and Partners! It is notoriously hard buying gifts for men, with many asking for power tools or a Pirelli Calendar… but why not target his interest in travel. Lets face it, the majority of the population gets out of the house at some point. I can hear you saying… “I never go on holidays!”… but I bet everyone gets away at some point!

We all travel for different reasons and there is always something we need. The list below is not exhaustive nor are they all essential for every trip… but at some point you will wish you had a few things.

Gifts For Men: Get His Groove Back This Summer!

Leave a reply

It has always been a struggle for men to look sharp, classy and formal during the hotter months of the year. Everyone gets fixated on their coat and tie fashion even if it seems too warm to wear a coat. Often, men who seem classy and stylish with their coats on, are arrested by the fashion and social police once they take it off and potentially expose sweaty armpits. If you are thinking of giving unique mens gifts it would definitely be unwise to give a gift not suited for the warmer months ahead. If you are struggling to find new gift ideas for men, look at things that would compliment his getup during the warmer months ahead. It would be better for him to dress more appropriately for the weather conditions, than stick to his old coat and tie amidst the heat and humidity. Here are a few tips on some guys gifts that you can give to keep fresh and spice up his summer outfits.

Men’s gifts to help him freshen up on warm days– Sometime’s a man has to do what he needs to do. Depending on the occasion, he still may need to suit up even during the baking weather. Think corporate men or a more typical example… the wedding! On occasions like these, accessories (for his bathroom) such as a face care package or a shaving soap would help him freshen up on those scorching days and keep his cool under the pressure of his traditional suit.

Men’s gift accessories that accentuate his overall style – Men will eventually take their coats off and just wear an office shirt to work as the temperature rises. As the cold weather slowly dissipates, most of them would fail to notice that they have been constantly updating their winter wardrobe and have slowly ignored accessories to compliment their business shirts. As the thick coat hibernates out of the men’s summer fashion scene, accessories such as men’s ties, belts, hats, and cufflinks emerge as centre pieces to his ensemble; and would be a perfect gift for him.

These accessories would match with his business shirts and would go assist him trying to acclimatise to the warmer weather.

At malebox, you are sure to get it right as they stock the perfect collection of summer gifts for men that are now just a click away. Come and see innovative men’s gift ideas now.

Christmas is just around the corner. The season is starting to kick in and we would once again have the opportunity to show our loved ones how special they are to us. To some people, it’s always a chore to do this as it is hard to express how much people are to us by simply giving them a Christmas gift.

Mens Gift Idea – A New Evolved, Magic Flip Wallet

Leave a reply

Looking for gift ideas for men can be like rocket science nowadays. Since men are more into functionality than aesthetics, it becomes very difficult to pick a gift that would bring function, and accentuate your man fashion as well. Functional gifts for him would be a toolbox, a new mechanical drill, or an electric screwdriver, but since when have these been considered stylish? People who go for men’s gifts that lean towards fashion and style would buy him a new shirt or a new pair of trousers, but because different men have different tastes, it would be a hit and miss on your part and you would highly doubt if he would appreciate these at all.

If you are having trouble looking for gift ideas for him, you are not alone. Many of us are experiencing this struggle as well. Here is a product that would combine functionality and aesthetics, something that he would have fun having, and would also make him sleek and stylish. We would like to introduce you to our new magic flip wallet.

Gifts for Men To Help Him Organize

Leave a reply

It has always been said that the typical man’s brain is compartmentalized. This means that a man tackles topics in his life one area at a time. If he is at work, he totally forgets about all the problems awaiting him at home. If he is immersed in solving a problem, he can shut the world out, until he finds a resolution. A typical woman’s brain is different, they say that women can generally multi task, whereas men tend to be more focused into one specific issue. Neither is better, but both are usual reasons why the two sometimes dont understand each other.

This explains why at time’s men are caught by their partners leaving a mess in their wardrobes. And this brings us to the topic: gifts for men if you want to help him organise. If you are looking for gift ideas for him, look no further. The elegant watch box collection of malebox will surely help your man organize his classic time pieces or help him decide the right one on a very busy day. These watch boxes not only help him organize, it lengthens the life span of his time pieces as well. We are sure he’ll thank you in the long run if he realizes that his expensive time pieces are well taken cared off. You can also help him organize his tie collection with our fancy tie box to help him pick the right tie for that all important business meeting. This tie box is elegantly but functionally designed and helps him see all his “tie” options for the day before he actually wears them. Who knows, the right tie can spell the difference and help him close that business deal he has been dreaming about.

Everyone knows that one of the easiest gifts for men is a good bottle of wine. When men give their friends a bottle of wine, they usually just leave bottles somewhere in the kitchen top. This creates a potential hazard and eyesore, if he leaves a collection of new and used bottles of wine. So why not help him organize by giving him a classic wine case. Since all his friends will be thinking about giving him a good bottle of wine to complete the evening anyway, make an impression by giving him a case which lasts longer and leaves a lasting impression. The wine bottle is thrown away when the wine is gone, but a classic wine case will stand the test of time. This would also give your man an option to travel in style with his wine. These wine cases are durable and can easily be brought to social or romantic getaways.

Men’s Gifts for The Race Season

The Spring Carnival Racing season is on. If you are looking for the proper gift for him you have come to the right place to transform your man to dress up to the occasion.

Men’s fashion always go for functionality over style, comfort over aesthetics, but this season is an exception. The Melbourne Cup Carnival is one of the few events where men are expected to display their true style with fantastic suits, ties, shoes and even hats. While most of the blokes think that the race season is just a showcase for women to show their fashion prowess, they do not notice that the women are looking (and expecting ) that the men would match their dresses as well.

Skinny suits are always in for the season. As springtime and the excitement of the race brings warmth to the weather, accessories that match suits made of lightweight wool, silk and cashmere are definitely the top choice in fabrics Match your suit with great dark leather shoes and a belt. If your man is the adventurous type and you are having a hard time finding gifts for him, have a try at some little changes and play with the accessories to liven up the mood. Three piece suits are the in thing this year with the classic combo raising the race wear standards at the Melbourne Cup.

Make His Outfit Stand Out In a Good Way

Trust that every fashionable male will wear a suit and a hat while on the race. The game is won by matching his suit with the proper accessory that fits his built and personality. The right accessories such as custom cufflinks and scarves make his style a class above the rest. Do not let him wear a black suit. Have him go for charcoal or navy colour instead. Lighter colours would suit younger men and would celebrate their youth. Have him play around with different colours with his ties and handkerchiefs, but just make sure they aren’t an eye-sore for other people. Use light colours which can lift any outfit and mix it with bold colours to create an urbane and edgy men’s race wear look.

Always Remember.

Hats are definitely back in men’s fashion. The gangster look is big and very much favoured and is completed with the loft hat. Don’t forget to have him wear a matching pair of sunnies as well to protect his eyes and for that extra edge. Wearing statement ties and socks are a NO NO. The key is to keep the getup professional and classy. His belt and shoes should match ALL THE TIME, and grey shoes should be avoided for the races. Have your man follow these tips to give him for a perfect time at the race.

Do the men in your life worry about painful ingrown hairs or joke about their increasing laugh lines (laugh is code for worry) appearing around their eyes? Well, it’s time to turn their whinging into satisfaction. Men are slowly coming around to the idea that grooming products are beneficial – for their appearance and confidence. But we all know that some men find it hard to look for the appropriate products for their grooming regime. So, why not make it easier for him and check out our grooming men gift ideas, perfect for Fathers Day… and some tips to impart on the clueless!

Shaving Presents for Men

Our great shaving products such as shaving soap and pure shaving brush make practical gift ideas for men. With shaving soap flavours such as almond and sage, he will smell a treat! And the shaving brush will help him get that smooth shave he has been wanting.

Shaving Tips

Follow the below steps to ensure your skin stays nice and smooth after you shave:

Cleanse – Before you shave, make sure you cleanse. Cleaning the face lifts the bristles off your face and gives a much cleaner and smoother shave.

Shaving soap – Use a foaming gel or a shave soap, which can be applied using a shaving brush.

Moisturise – Finally, always make sure you moisturise. A good moisturiser not only helps with hydration but also sun protection, skin smoothing and even helps fight wrinkles.

Face Cleansing Presents for Men

Our Face Care Pack is the ultimate male gift idea – make the face cleansing regime easy for the male in your life with this perfect mens gift including pre shave oil, face cleansing milk, face moisturiser and shaving soap.

Cleansing Tips

Use Lukewarm Water – When you wash your face you should never have the temperature too hot or too cold. Water that is too hot can cause capillary damage and make capillary veins visible on the face such as around the edges of the nose, the cheeks and under the eyes. Lukewarm is the ideal temperature of water when cleansing the face.

Never Use Body Soap – Soap made for the body is much too harsh to use on the face… and is a common mistake made by men. It will not only dry out the sensitive skin of the face but it will also cause it to produce too much oil in overcompensation for the dryness.

Moderation – Do not wash your face more than twice a day and gently massage your face with circular motions. The number one rule is to not scrub. Over washing and scrubbing can cause skin to become irritated.

Olive Oil Skin Care Guide For Men

Leave a reply

Although the popularity of natural skin care has risen in past years, using things such as olive oil to maintain our appearance is nothing new. In fact, ancient civilizations in Egypt, Rome, India and Greece were among the first people to use natural products in their skin care routine. Avocadoes, flower essences, oils and butters were all used on various parts of the body, but one of the most versatile and beneficial products they used was olive oil.

Why Olive Oil?

The reason that the Mediterranean diet is so beneficial is because of its heavy reliance on consuming olive and olive oil. Olives contain a high amount of vitamin E- the essential ingredient for glowing skin, shiny hair and strong nails. Internally, consuming olive oil has also been proven to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, prevent certain types of cancer and help to maintain a healthy weight. The secret lies in the olive’s high level of antioxidants, which attack free radicals in the body that lead to illness, disease and ageing. Not bad for a tiny little fruit!

Olive Oil for Skincare

Now that we know the benefits of olive oil for the health, how do we get the best results for the skin?

Here is a list of how to add olive oil to your skincare regime:

For hands- Use a dime-sized amount of olive oil and rub into the hands and cuticles daily to fight dry, cracked skin.
For feet- After having a bath or before bed time, rub olive oil into the feet (concentrating on the heel area) to banish dry, flaky skin on the feet.
For hair – If you have dry hair or flaky scalp, use a dime-sized amount of olive oil after shampooing and massage onto the scalp area. Let sit for 5- 10 minutes and then rinse off. Do this once a week until the condition of your hair improves.
For face – Use a olive oil based shaving soap, cleansing milk and moisturizer. Make sure that the products use pure olive oil and natural ingredients for the best results. A good example is the Italian made range of Riana Naturale and Olive products, available at the mens fashion website malebox.

Check out some of the range below…

Now that you have your skincare regime sorted, here are some more uses for olive oil to keep you feeling your best:

Lip balm- Instead of using a waxy stick to relieve chapped lips, try rubbing a dab of olive oil on them instead.
Fine lines and wrinkles- Rubbing oil into line and wrinkles on the face morning and night can be just as effective as using an anti-aging cream.
Eczema and psoriasis- Many people have found relief by using pure olive oil to remedy eczema and psoriasis- often with better results than topical steroid creams. Apply 3-4 times daily to see an improvement within 2 weeks.

For just a few dollars, keeping olive oil in your kitchen pantry will provide numerous uses and benefits for your skin and hair. As with any new product, check with your doctor before you using it on your skin in case of allergic reaction.

Do you find it easier to get dressed in casual gear rather than suiting up?

Well… wearing a suit need not be difficult!

It is easy to match a shirt, cufflinks and tie combination. Better still, if you keep it simple you can look sharp and timeless, impressing others without effort. By keeping it simple it doesn’t mean boring. If you have a nice blue or charcoal suit a white or sky blue shirt will always match. I always go for a french cuff shirt and some nice cufflinks. It is good practice to match you cufflinks to your tie. If you have a limited selection of cufflinks go for a plain square shiny or matt silver pair to start with and go from there as your budget permits. You can find some classic silver cufflinks which go with absolutely anything you put together. Once you have a few pairs you can start to mix and match a bit more. We have designs which you can match exactly with a diagonal cufflink and tie combination or just a cufflink which is more versatile and goes with a number of ties. After a while it will come as second nature and dressing sharply with cufflinks will become the norm for you. Just remember, don’t try and put your hand through cufflinks already in he shirt unless you want to break them. You will probably have the cufflinks for the rest of your life if you take care of them. When you make the small effort in the morning or before a special function to match your cufflinks to you tie, you will be noticed and people will comment so be prepared!

Gifts for your groomsmen

Searching for gifts for the groomsmen in your wedding party?

These guys have been in your life every step of the way and will stand by you through thick and thin. Now they will stand by your side on the biggest day of your life… the day you say “I do”!!!! Your best man, groomsmen, page boys and ushers will be hiring or buying a tux, organising your bucks, preparing toasts and lending a hand on your big day. In summary, a measly “thanks” and a handshake isn’t going to cut it.

The types of gifts you present to your mates in the wedding party will say a lot about you as a groom. You didn’t settle for an average bride and you haven’t settled for average close friends. This is a day where you can show them how much they mean and go for some cool guys gifts that are above and beyond. Put some thought into what your men will appreciate. You only get one crack at this, so make it count.

Not every groomsman’s present needs to be the same. If you have groomsmen that like to wear cufflinks or watches, buy them some great cufflinks… go for something stylish like the platinum range from malebox.

Sterling Silver and Agate Cufflinks make a great groomsmen gifts!

Or if you want to buy something a little more unique buy them a cufflink and watch box. These can be a great gift idea when it comes to wedding gifts for the bridal party. Don’t worry, you don’t have to get them a feminine one. There are actually a great range of masculine cufflink cases available. Usually they are called a ‘watch box’ or ‘cufflink box’. So when he does ask you, “What is this?” which he probably wont, cause he’ll say “I have wanted one of these for ages!”… but if he does you will be able to explain that it’s a box that holds cufflinks, watches and accessories. While you are at it, get yourself one as well!

A great gift for anyone who likes to travel in your bridal party!

History of cufflinks

The history of cufflinks goes back to the middle ages where its precursor the ‘cuff string’ adorned the wrists of fashionable gentlemen of the day. One of the earliest references to what we know recognise as cufflinks was made in the London Gazette of 1684 which referred to a pair of cuff buttons set with diamonds, the same journal in 1686 also described a pair of gold enamelled cuff buttons. More evidence of the existence of cufflinks in the middle ages was found in Suffolk, England when a decorated gold single chain cufflink was discovered also dating back to the 17th century.

Despite its early appearance the continual taste for adorning sleeve ends with elaborate wrist ruffles meant it was not until the mid-nineteenth century that the cufflink really came into its own as dandy-ish ruffles gave way to functionally minimal sleeves and in particular the arrival of the French Cuff (also called the Double Cuff) or as the French themselves called it poignet mousquetaire – the musketeers cuff, paving the way for the emergence proper of cufflinks.

Initially confined to the upper echelons of society, by the 1860’s cufflink grew into the mainstream as jewelers like Child & Child in London and Krementz & Co in New York brought out cufflinks that were within the price range of the wider public.
