What to buy the special guy in your life?! With Father’s Day fast approaching on Sunday 17th June, we’ve put together a collection of luxurious men’s gifts to guide you in the right direction when it comes to shopping for Father’s Day Gifts.
AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Sheila Chronograph Limited Edition
What could actually be cooler than a watch that commemorates the iconic fighter-bomber aircraft, the Hawker Typhoon?! AVI-8 watches have added to their collab with Hawker Typhoon Preservation Group by creating a new range in four beautiful colour ways to compliment the existing collection. Bringing the Hawker Typhoon fighter plane to life through this stunning timepiece, the AVI-8 Hawker Typhoon Sheila Chronograph Limited Edition is great in low lighting due to its generous coating of the hands and index in Swiss luminous material. Drawing inspo in the wristwatch’s design from the Hawker Typhoon’s cockpit, padded stitching on the leather strap is a nod to that of the pilot’s seat, while the dial’s balance of instrumentation, legibility and style imitates that of the interior of the plane’s cockpit. Add to that accuracy of 1/10 of a second thanks to Seiko’s smooth TMI movement and you’ve got a solid timepiece which won’t let you down. Each watch sold helps to fund the resurrection of the RB396 – the only surviving combat veteran example of its type, know to exist. Limited to 1200 pieces of each new colourway, ‘Lichfield’, ‘Westhampnett’, ‘Volkel’, and ‘Goch’ are available now on the website priced at £250.
Peugeot Duo Tahiti Air Pepper Mill and Salt Mill
Peugeot have been making cookware accessories for the past 200 years so they know a thing or two about how to create the perfect grinder! Sustainably crafted in France with an original steel grinding mechanism, the gorgeous Peugeot Duo Tahiti Air Pepper Mill and Salt Mill are made from wood that’s been sourced from French PEFC certified forests. In a range of stunning colourways, we love the set in midnight blue and azure blue. The pepper mill is the darker of the two and works to crack the peppercorns before grinding them to intensify the flavour and aroma. A coarse grind will bring out that intensity while a finer grind will release the spice. Meanwhile, the salt mill features an innovative mechanism especially for rock salt. With a lifetime warranty, you can guarantee that this is a great gift choice. Available from the website priced at £80.17.

Our number one choice – Whispering Angel (from £30) is the perfect serve when the weather heats up, a gorgeous smooth blend of grenache, cinsault and rolle with the signature cuvee – an exciting combo of floral notes on the nose, fruity berries to taste and a round finish in the mouth.
