Winter Gifts . What you want to give . What you want .

December is the month when the streets are lit up with illuminations. It's gift-giving season again this year. There are many criteria for choosing a gift, such as the recipient's hobbies, lifestyle, occupation, etc. But if the recipient is someone you love, you never want to miss out. All I want to see is an adorable face. In "Huinamu," we picked up fashion items recommended for such a gift. They are also perfect for rewarding yourself for working hard this year. Stylist Arata Kobayashi, who herself has many opportunities to give gifts, introduces them with her comments.

01
Whitehouse Cox
"Key Case".

Mr. Kobayashi's favorite key case from White House Cox. I didn't have a key case when I was younger, but as I get older, the number of keys increases, so it's convenient to have something like this. I didn't have a key case when I was younger, but as I get older, the number of keys increases, so it is convenient to have something like this. The photo is from the Holiday Line, using Regent bridle leather with a fine lattice pattern stamping on the front. ¥17,000 (Griffin International Tel. 03-5754-3561)

02
DEREK ROSE
"Nightgown."

Ms. Kobayashi actually used a gown from "Derek Rose" and liked it. It's easy to throw on when it's chilly or after a bath, and because it's made of shirt, it's easy to wash. The traditional bold stripes of this British nightwear brand founded in 1926 are impressive, and the front has patch pockets on both sides. ¥35,300(Sold at Vulcanize London Tel. 03-5464-5255)

Jeans ¥21,000 (Sunspel Omotesando Tel.03-3406-7377), T-shirt, stylist's personal effects

03
TRUEFITT & HILL
"Nail Care Kit".

Nail care kit from Truefitt & Hill, the world's oldest barbershop, opened in 1805. I still use razors and shaving brushes from this brand that I received four or five years ago. It's hard to buy this kit for myself, but I'm glad to receive it as a gift, and I think it will be especially appreciated by men over 30 years old. A five-piece set including sweet scissors, nail clippers, nail file, tweezers, and pocket knife that is easy to carry. ¥24,000 (Vulcanize London Tel. 03-5464-5255)

04
COYOTE NEGRO
"Ring & Bracelet"

When I was checking Instagram," says Kobayashi, "a bracelet and ring from the up-and-coming New York jewelry brand Coyote Negro jumped out at me. I think the bracelets can be worn by men as well. I think the bracelets can be worn by men, too, and the designs have a softness that only a female designer can bring. In Japan, the bracelets are sold at the Laila Tokyo concept store in Shibuya, Tokyo. Ring: ¥33,000, Bracelet: ¥61,000 (Laila Tokyo Tel. 03-6427-6325)

05
Paraboot
"Tyrolean Shoes."

When men and women give each other gifts, they may not feel comfortable wearing the exact same shoes, but I think it's nice for two people to wear the same brand and with the same taste. I would recommend "Paraboot" as a gift in that only the two of you will be able to know the difference. The photo shows the brand's classic "MICHAEL. The women's model on the left is made of rabbit fur, while the men's model on the right is a traditional pair made of luxurious pony fur for winter wear. Left: ¥65,000, Right: ¥67,000 (Paraboot Aoyama Store Tel. 03-5766-6688)

06
Sunspel
"Jeans."

Jeans from the long-established British brand "Sunspel" are now available in Japan for the first time. The design, which Mr. Kobayashi describes as "beautifully stripped down," has an anonymous feel with black leather patches and no pith names, which are often used by other brands. The straight silhouette is made of Japanese rigid denim, which he says "will become a new standard. Available in five sizes, from XS to XL. ¥21,000 (Sunspel Omotesando Tel. 03-3406-7377)

T-shirt Stylist's personal possession

07
LAULHÈRE
"Beret".

Berets are in vogue this season. Lorail is a long-established manufacturer that has been making berets in the Basque region of France since 1840. The berets are well-made and come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. I think they are just right if you want to give a trendy gift to both women and men. A product that will be a favorite for many years to come, but at an affordable price. ¥6,000 (Qualinest Tel. 03-6451-1458)

HAMILTON
"Wristwatch."

The "Intramatic" model in the photo was inspired by the brand's best-selling watches from the 1960s. The model in the photo, the Intramatic, was inspired by the brand's best-selling watches of the 1960s. 38mm case with a mature black dial gives it a strong presence. ¥91,000 (Hamilton / Swatch Group Japan Tel. 03-6254-7371) The new Hamilton watch is available at the Swatch Group Japan (Tel.)

09
MOSCOT & EYEVAN 7285
"Glasses."

Mr. Kobayashi, who actually loves to wear glasses, recommends, "If you are a man, go for a pair with light colors in the lenses. It can give your style a mature look and a slightly mysterious atmosphere. For women, you might dare to choose date glasses and share them with your boyfriend or husband. Surprisingly, I think this is a gift that can be easily shared between men and women. Top: [MOSCOTT] ¥33,000 (MOSCOTT TOKYO Tel. 03-6434-1070), Bottom: [Ivan 7285] ¥39,000 (BLINK Tel. 03-5775-7525)

10
J&M DAVIDSON
"Leather Belt".

J&M Davidson belts are one of the staples of the brand and are loved by fashion-conscious people. This time, I chose two thin types that look elegant and ideal as gifts. The mesh belt on top can be shared by couples or married couples because it doesn't matter what size you are. For the bottom belt, I usually tend to choose black, but the brown one looks cute with old jeans. Upper: ¥39,000, lower: ¥25,000 (J&M Davidson Aoyama store Tel. 03-6427-1810)

11
COACH
"Rexy Puzzle".

Coach introduces a witty item from its holiday collection. This is a leather puzzle with 19 pieces that allow you to assemble the iconic Coach Beast character, Lexie. This is a great way to surprise your partner. For example, it would be a great gift for a housewarming party. There is also another character. ¥70,000 (Coach Customer Service Japan Tel. 0120-556-936)

This reversible large-size scarf from Johnston's is a must-have item for any woman who wants to keep her cashmere stole. The double-faced cashmere gives it a smooth, warm, and stress-free feel. It can be used indoors or thrown on when you go out for a bit. It can also be used indoors, or thrown on when going out for a bit. I recommend it when you are in the car or traveling.
