Vogue published a gift guide of more than 20 items for men who have everything, with picks ranging from a $90 Georg Jensen card game at Bloomingdale's to a $310 Charvet striped tie at MR PORTER. The list, organized under the magazine's Shopping section, spans fashion, tech, and home goods for the holiday season.
The most expensive single item highlighted is the Charvet tie, a French silk necktie from a house founded in 1838 that has dressed U.S. presidents and European royalty. At $310, it costs more than a typical week of groceries for a family of four, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data.
The guide's cheapest pick is the Georg Jensen Sky card game at $90, a stainless steel and leather case designed by the Danish silversmith's studio. The set includes two decks and targets the man who already owns the standard barware and cufflinks.
Mid-range options include Birkenstock's Naples loafer clogs at $165 from Nordstrom, a leather-lined take on the brand's cork-footbed silhouette, and Nike's Pegasus Premium running sneakers at $220, a running shoe with a full-length Air Zoom unit.
The mix reflects a shift in how luxury publishers approach men's gifting: instead of defaulting to watches and wallets, editors are pairing utilitarian footwear with design objects. The Birkenstock clog, once a counterculture staple, now sells at Nordstrom alongside designer handbags, a repositioning the brand has pursued since its 2021 IPO on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Pegasus line has been in continuous production since 1983, making it one of Nike's longest-running shoe franchises. The Premium version sits above the standard Pegasus in price, aimed at runners who log high weekly mileage but want a daily trainer rather than a carbon-plated race shoe.
Vogue's guide joins a crowded field of men's gift coverage published each November, when search traffic for "gifts for men who have everything" peaks. The phrase has become a fixture of holiday shopping content because it addresses a real problem: men in the U.S. receive fewer gifts on average than women, according to surveys by the National Retail Federation, and are more likely to buy items for themselves during the year.
The Charvet tie and Georg Jensen card set both sit above the $50 to $100 range that accounts for the largest share of U.S. holiday gift spending, per NRF data. The guide's structure assumes a shopper willing to spend several hundred dollars on a single recipient, a segment luxury retailers have courted aggressively as middle-income discretionary spending has tightened.
Prices listed are current as of publication and reflect retailer pricing at Bloomingdale's, MR PORTER, Nordstrom, and Nike.
