What to put under the tree: 10 cult things as a gift
Give clothes and accessories the easiest is for the closest; we know most about their preferences. How to please a man who has everything? A good thing that will last more than one year: an unkillable pair of shoes, a warm woolen scarf, or, eventually, a classic sweater. We have chosen ten religious things that have not lost their relevance for many years.

Blundstone boots
The case when the expression “classic for centuries” does not seem to be flashy marketing: the Blundstone brand, founded in 1870 in Australia, for all these years has hardly changed the design of unkillable shoes, and the quality produces an even one. In winter, such shoes are not cold (if you do not forget about warm socks or insoles), and in the slush and rain - not wet.
14 990 rub.
Acne Studios Scarf
The Swedish brand caught the hygge wave long before they learned about this philosophy outside of Scandinavia. The brand does not cheap, but quality things concise design. For example, reference woolen scarves are wide enough and long enough to keep warm in the Russian winter. If desired, this can be worn as a headdress, rotated into it entirely.
12 926 rub.
Underwear Uniqlo
Thoughtful Japanese Uniqlo always carefully produce a line of thermal underwear for the city - regardless of whether there is a fashion for autdor or not. Insulated leggings and a turtleneck with Heattech technology (thanks to which the fabric removes moisture and retains heat) will be useful to anyone who leaves the apartment from September to April.
999 rub.
Dr. Boots Martens
The classic model of non-killing shoes in white color - we would like to wear them always, but we advise to save for frosty days without precipitation. Together with a woolen sock, “martins” warm even in a decent minus, and at the expense of coloring they look like an art object.
13 590 rub.
Fliska The North Face
Take care of your best friend or parents - supply them with a windproof and heat-resistant flisk of The North Face, a respected outdoor brand. Similarly, walks with dogs and forays to the nearest park will bring joy even in cold weather.
11 290 rub.
Sleep Pajamas
A bit of luxury on cold January evenings - for someone to walk around the house is much nicer in silk pajamas with a fluffy finish, rather than in stretched sweatpants and a worn out T-shirt (and on the contrary). To receive such a thing as a gift is doubly pleasant. However, nothing prevents to wear this kit in everyday life.
$265
Bag A.P.C.
The soft leather crescent bag is a business card of the French brand (as well as other good leather goods). If your girlfriend or sister has long wanted to have a concise bag "in the feast and in the world", help her start with A.P.C.
$318
Turtleneck Helmut Lang
Recognizable neon, classic cut - the designer's handwriting is read instantly, but at the same time the thing does not look like a hit for one season. Hand it to a friend who values a brand with history and is not burdened with a strict dress code in the office.
£221
Chanel clips
Vintage clips of the 90s with a recognizable brand cross logo and probably an interesting life. Modern Chanel jewelry often looks too faceless, this same pair reflects the very DNA of the brand.
22 410 rub.
Howlin 'Cardigan
Solid knitted cardigan with a fun pattern. Previously, the brand, whose main specialization is soft wool and cashmere retroswitches, could be found in the Moscow FOTT store. Today, the cardigan will have to order online, but it's not scary either: it is difficult to be mistaken with the size of knitted oversize things.
