Christmas gift for bf
I want to get a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. He wears a lot of Ralph Lauren, Burberry, etc. I was thinking of getting him a Lacoste bracelet, but I'm on the fence about whether he would enjoy it. I know he owns a Chrome Hearts necklace and bracelet. Any opinions would greatly help

Hi @smiling! For better answers, include:
- Reference pictures
- Budget in numbers
- Specific measurements
- Openness to buying secondhand and/or online
- Location: country/continent is fine
- Timing/urgency
Don't buy people clothing gifts off-spec if they have established tastes, or if you do ask them very specifically for a list of things they would like.
Chrome hearts/Burberry/Ralph doesn't suggest to me that Lacoste would be the best option tbh. Plus probably buy jewellery from a jewellery brand.
do you have any reccomendations of what chrome hearts/burberry/ralph would suggest?
they would suggest you buy expensive things because they're corporations interested in making money
speaking as someone who frequently gets weird clothes as gifts because he's into "fashion" please do not do this unless you're absolutely sure they'll like it and wear it because otherwise it usually feels weird or goes unworn
Seconding this - I’d always lean towards getting something aligning with their interests but not actual items of clothing like books or such depending on if you think they’d like that
Im already getting him something that aligns with his interests other than fashion/ jewelry but i would like to get him something nice as well
might be more of a philosophical question but i would consider what is "nice" to him, the person receiving/using the gift.
If he likes jewelry you could offer him a low-key piece of jewelry that reminds you of a good memory you had together or an inside joke, it may not be the most fashion sensible choice for a gift but the sentimental value will be far more important to him than the style points and make him love it even more
either get something you know he's been wanting, or get something with sentimental value, but dont go spending chrome hearts money on smth he might fw just because its an expensive brand.
+1 if you're considering a fashion item, ask him what he wants
as someone this has happened to several times, if you get him a piece of clothing you risk it going unworn because it's not what he wants but he's too polite to tell you or it's a duplicate of something he already has
Easy suggestion: get him a fragrance or set of fragrance samples
unless he is a fragrance nerd too, then same goes
My partner does this thing where they gift me 100 dollars or whatever, and then we go spend it together at a boutique I like. Still a gift, and we get the experience of shopping together which is really fun
