Five recommended Christmas gifts
according to budget
The Christmas season is approaching once again. Have you already decided upon your gifts for this year?
With "sustainable" being such a keyword these days, more and more people are looking for gifts that will last a lifetime,
and thanks to their authentic UK materials, craftsmanship and timelessly versatile designs,
leather accessories from Glenroyal suits this sentiment perfectly.
Here we have a selection of items that make great presents for adults arranged by price.
¥10,000 price range
POCKET SHOE HORN
A shoehorn is an essential for any man who cares about footwear. This palm-sized model fits neatly in a bag and is wonderful in its portability. However, it is also the kind of item people tend not to buy for themselves, which makes it all the more clever of a gift. The grip is made with Glenroyal's classic bridle leather, while the horn comes from water buffalo, so each part represents genuine refined quality. The horn also rotates and can be folded away when used as keychain. Attach one of these to your house keys to make the process of slipping on your shoes and locking up before you leave even smoother. It also creates a smart impression on those occasions when you need to take shoes on or off in business settings. The pocket shoehorn comes in 11 colours ranging from basic to bright, including versions using Lakeland bridle. Sometimes with small items like this it doesn't hurt to go with something a bit more showy. This is a fun item that allows you to think of what colour the recipient will like best as you make your choice.

SLIM CARD CASE WITH NOTE
With the acceleration towards cashless societies growing ever faster, more and more people are paying with electronic money or credit cards. Here we have a slim card case, a popular item from our Utility Line which launched just this year as a way to provide the versatility needed to meet the needs of today's lifestyles. The design maximizes thinness by doing away with the wedge, but is in fact quite functional due to having six pockets for cards. What's more, the centre pocket can even hold cash if it is folded in half. You can carry all the IC cards for commuting, credit cards, ATM cards for when you need cash and even a couple of notes just in case you need them right away, so you'll never be caught flat-footed. The slim card case fits almost imperceptibly into any pocket, whether its in the pants or the breast of a suit jacket, so it's a wonderful choice for men who love to look sharp.

HARNESS BRIDLE BELT
Men's belts may all look the same at first glance, but the truth is that there is quite a lot of depth to them. There is a constant search for that ideal belt in terms of material, buckle design or even differences in width of just a few millimetres. Despite its extremely simple appearance, the harness bridle belt here is in fact highly-prized masterpiece among men of particularly discerning tastes. Its greatest feature is that it is made of Glenroyal's signature bridle leather, a material that was actually created for use in the horse tack of aristocrats and thus boasts incredible strength. Another great thing about bridle leather is the way in which it becomes even more flavourful and takes on a brilliant lustre the more it is used. At 29mm, the width of the belt is neither too thick nor thin and an ideal fit for suits. You won't find a better way of adding an easy infusion of style to business attire. The harness bridle belt is available in many different sizes as well, making it a cinch to find the right one for the gift's recipient.

ZIP MINI PURSE WITH GUSSET
Compact wallets have long been a standby for women, but are beginning to catch on more and more among men today as well. Zip purses tend to be a standard model for the way they open wide in an L shape and can hold coins, bills and cards. The Glenroyal zip purse is both palm-sized and thin so that it can slide neatly and easily into any pocket, and this season we have a version with even more updated features. The design itself is nearly identical to the previous model, but the addition of a gusset improves usefulness by making it easier to access coins. The wallet has three compartments despite its sleek size, making it hassle-free to keep cards and other contents organized. By the way, this is a type to fold the bills into two. Also worth noting is how the use of a single sheet of leather with no lining keeps the design simple and slim.

MONEY CLIP WITH COIN POCKET
If you're looking to splurge a bit to make that anniversary or holiday gift extra special, you won't find a better choice than this money clip with coin pocket. This is the best-selling among all of Glenroyal's many wallets. It's a classic British design where the bills are held in place with a metal clip. The decidedly minimal and stately look is great for adding a touch of elegance to any man's wardrobe. A key feature of this wallet is the large coin pocket on the outside, guaranteeing that it can still hold a lot despite its slim form. The flap of the coin pocket also has a card pocket on it. This is a versatile wallet that works as well with suits as it does with jeans, and the fact that it's made with bridle leather means you can rest assured you can enjoy it age over many years of use. You won't find another item that grows along with the memories you make quite like this one.
