Luxury Gift Ideas for Him 

For when the ordinary just won’t cut it, discover a handful of our favourite luxury gift ideas for him right here. 

South Place Hotel, London

Exuding a stylish business buzz during the week and elegance during the weekend, South Place Hotel conjures up images of boutique, luxurious, lively and fresh-faced. In a room meticulously designed by Conran + Partners, he’ll find a half bottle of Champagne and everything needed to guarantee a seamless stay. Put the icing on the proverbial cake with a five-course dinner at the hotel’s Michelin-starred Angler Restaurant and £50 towards a decadent breakfast in the morning. 

Yacht Sailing, Firth of Forth 

Sometimes, a boat trip just isn’t enough. For when that happens, try yacht sailing on the Firth of Forth. He’ll journey past the islands of Inchgarvie, Inchcolm, Inchmickery and Inchkeith, where history abounds, as well as plenty of marine wildlife, including local seals. If he’s the hands-on type, he can even take the helm and learn the ropes with the skipper. 

Northern Lights Sightseeing Flight

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the elusive natural phenomena that is the Northern Lights: it just doesn’t get much more spectacular than this. A transformational adventure awaits him on this spell-binding sightseeing flight. 

L’Ortolan, Reading

L’Ortolan set in idyllic Berkshire is the height of fine dining and sophistication. There’s no better way to enjoy food than to sit at the Chef’s Table, right in the heart of the kitchen. Champagne and canapes inaugurate the dining experience but the real pièce de résistance are the seven courses thoughtfully crafted by Head Chef James Greatorex and his team. 

Land Away Double Flying Lesson 

While luxury for some means the chance to sit back, relax and do nothing, others are the more active type who want the opportunity to get their hands on a plane. Luckily, all the time he spends behind the controls during this experience counts towards a Private Pilot’s Licence, so this is a great starting gift to set him on the path to a slightly expensive hobby. 

Aston Martin Driving Experience, Silverstone

While we can’t all be Formula One drivers, Silverstone's purpose-built professional racing track will certainly get him pretty close. Taking pole position behind the wheel of an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, he’ll see through the eyes of his racing heroes practising and perfecting every racing line. 

Gentleman’s Suit Fitting at The Savile Row Company, London

For an encounter of refinement like no other, he’ll commission his very own tailored suit, courtesy of the prestigious Savile Row Company’s store director Maximilian Ciampi. He’ll receive a detailed consultation, a choice of unique fabrics from the in-house Loro Piana Collection in addition to a prosecco flute and chocolate biscuits. 

One Day Course at Rick Stein’s Cookery School, Cornwall 

If he’s someone who loves cooking and the culinary arts, the cookery school owned by world-renowned and award-winning chef Rick Stein is the place to be. Situated in a breath-taking location, his day will be full of demonstrations, hands-on cooking, plenty of food tasting and complimentary wine. 

Guided Tour of Newmarket, Suffolk 

Whether he’s a keen equestrian or just likes everything to do with horse racing, there’s no day out quite like Newmarket. Hailed as the “Headquarters” in the horseracing world, he’ll enjoy a guided visit, where he’ll see the famed training ground Warren Hill, the 500-acre National Stud and the home of the National Heritage Centre for Horseracing and Sporting Art Palace House. 

Afternoon Tea at The Lowry, Manchester

Manchester is bursting full of culture and this remarkable 5* hotel stands proud in the heart of the fashionable city. The contemporary hotel effortlessly fuses together luxury and style on the banks of the River Irwell. Afternoon tea is served in the hotel’s award-winning flagship River Restaurant with finger sandwiches, scones, pastries and dainty fancies making it more than worth a visit. 

Luxury Gifts for the Woman who has Everything

What do you get the woman who has everything? An experience day that’s guaranteed to go above and beyond of course; good news is we’ve got plenty. 

Afternoon Tea at Fortnum & Mason, London

Fortnum & Mason has had over 300 years to hone the tradition of afternoon tea down to an art form and their spread is certainly a masterpiece. Seated in the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon, opened by Her Majesty the Queen, the food is everything she’d expect from traditional finger sandwiches to exquisite cakes and freshly-baked scones. Expert ‘tearistas’ will be on hand to round things off with an incredible range of signature blends, single-estate and infusion teas and, naturally, Champagne. 

Course at Raymond Blanc’s Cookery School at Belmond Le Manoir, Oxfordshire

Whether she’s a seasoned pro or just a food enthusiast, as regards cooking, there’s always something new to learn. Taking place in the opulent surroundings of the hotel Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saison, this class will see her become a culinary star across six hours of expert tuition. 

Day Trip to Paris

Audrey Hepburn once said “Paris is always a good idea”. Whatever the occasion, it can’t get more grandiose than gifting the special lady a trip to Paris. Taking the Eurostar, it’ll be easy to explore the city, strolling down the Champs-Élysées or marvelling at the Eiffel Tower. When it’s time for lunch, embark on a cruise aboard the Bateaux Parisien accompanied by three delicious French courses, a Kir cocktail and wine before returning back to London St Pancras.

Dine in the Sky

When it comes to luxury lovers, a regular restaurant just simply won’t make the cut. Luckily, fine views and China-inspired interior design come together at the Shangri-La Hotel’s flagship TING Restaurant, located on Level 35 of The Shard. The intimate dining experience commences with welcome Champagne, before three signature courses are served alongside a shared bottle of wine. 

One Night Getaway at Bailiffscourt Hotel and Spa 

Let’s talk about spa luxury - because really, she only deserves the best and Bailiffscourt is exactly that. Just steps from the beach, superior accommodation in a Climping room, state-of-the-art facilities and world-class fare await her at this West Sussex gem. Not to mention the mediaeval architecture and tapestry-hung walls presenting an unparalleled atmosphere. 

Lunch at 20 Stories, Manchester

It’s not hard to see why this one makes the all-time luxury list. 20 Stories Manchester is worth a visit just for the exquisite décor complemented by sprawling city views - but the food’s just as good. Dishes showcase the culinary diversity of the Northwest and she can taste the best of it with a three course set menu curated by their executive chef. 

One Night Break at 5* Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa

We’re touting this Bath getaway as one of the best gifts around for a luxury lover. An exquisite venue that’s a tourist attraction in its own right, she’ll spend a night in a deluxe room, boasting all the amenities you’d expect from a 5* hotel. A Full English breakfast in the morning is a nice touch, too. 

Bateaux Five Course Dinner Cruise with Free Flowing Wine 

In case you hadn’t guessed already, we’re huge fans of dining with a difference; and we couldn’t not bring in waterside dining to the equation. Drift down the River Thames to the backdrop of London’s iconic skyline, all whilst savouring a five course seasonal menu. Her dinner includes unlimited wine and she can take in the sights with unobtrusive live music.

Aqua Thermal Journey with Lunch at Ribby Hall Village

Ribby Hall is synonymous with spa luxury. Add a little zen to the gifting occasion by sending her on a two hour Aqua Thermal Journey - a sensory journey full of tantalising spa experiences that gradually increase in temperature. Once she’s sufficiently detoxified, revitalised and all the rest of it, she can sit down for lunch in the two-AA Rosette restaurant. 

Luxury Train Experience with Fine Dining on Northern Belle

So much more than just a trip – this is an excursion. This is travel, golden age style. Fine dining, Champagne and world-class hospitality, all while coasting through unspoilt British countryside: treat her to the magic of timeless 1920s rail travel.
