Call us crazy but we’re definitely feeling the love on this year’s Valentine’s Day. Maybe it’s because so many people out there seem ready to connect like never before. Should you be one of those people, you’ll want to make the occasion count. Enter the following Gift Guide, which goes out to the man in your life. Like you, he’s been through a lot these past few years, and what better way to lift his spirits than with a little something special? We have you covered.
Sennheiser CX Plus True Wireless
In partnership with Sennheiser
Audio masters Sennheiser remain synonymous with brilliant sonic performance and world-class design. The brand brings all that and more to the CX Plus True Wireless Earbuds, which make for the perfect gift on Valentine’s Day (or any day, for that matter). Good for 8 hours on a single charge (and 16 extra hours with the charging case), they feature customisable touch controls along with four different ear adapters to guarantee absolute comfort.
Of course, what really sets these wireless buds apart is their powerful and perfect sound, courtesy of bespoke TrueResponse transducers. Then we have Active Noise Cancellation, which blocks out the exterior world as you take calls or immerse yourself in classic music. We’re merely scratching the surface in terms of what these acclaimed buds have in store for you or a loved one. – AU$259.95
Hentley Manhattan Classic Monogrammed Wallet
In Partnership with Hentley
If you want to give your man something practical yet heartfelt this Valentine’s Day, Hentley’s Manhattan Classic Wallet is the perfect gift. This timeless design delivers on both storage and style, offering six card slots and a single internal note compartment for ease of use. The wallet is handmade from the highest quality materials, using vegetable-tanned Italian leather in the Signature Series range. Utilising a beautiful natural resource, the piece will provide a fantastic look and feel and age like a fine wine. For an added personal touch, Hentley provides free monogramming, with 1-4 uppercase letters available for full customisation. Most importantly, this item will be used daily, reminding him of your love every time he grabs for the back pocket.
