The final countdown is on, and we’ve been thrust back into the most wonderful time of the year. Festive lights twinkle, and office parties are a thing again. Remember, what’s said around the water cooler stays right there, and it’s okay to revel in those messy nights when suddenly you’re out any day of the week with your ride-or-die crew.
At home, the eco tree is pulled out of storage, and it’s got to be said the artificial tree has seen better days, but it’s all good because we’re saving the planet! Or perhaps you’ve splurged on a real pine tree and dragged it home, somewhat exhilarated and spurred on by the prospect of the fresh scent of Pine Sol in your apt for weeks. But best of all is spending time with your favorite peeps and choosing the perfect gifts for them.
We know there are easy gifts to buy for Grandpa and Mimi, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered when it comes to finding the best gifts for the music and style aficionados in your life. Sit back, relax, and dig into the Holiday Gift Guide presented by our friends at Ben Sherman; they have everything you didn’t know you needed and more.
The Limited-Edition Must-Have Collab.
John Lennon fans will appreciate this official limited-edition collaboration between Ben Sherman and the John Lennon Estate. Designed to celebrate the iconic singer-songwriter and to commemorate Ben Sherman’s 60th anniversary, there are many exceptional pieces to choose from to suit any style. The Sketches Print Shirt and Lennon Stripe Knit feature original artworks drawn by John Lennon, who was not only an amazing singer-songwriter but also an accomplished contemporary artist.
The Charity T-Shirt. The sustainable gift that gives back.
As attention turned to the holiday season, Ben Sherman and Rolling Stone announced a charitable initiative to help shoppers give a gift that gives back. The two organizations joined forces to release an exclusive t-shirt for an exceptional charitable cause, Teen Cancer America. The Teen Cancer America charity, founded over a decade ago, is helmed by its renowned patrons, two musical legends, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend of The Who, both globally recognized for championing the cause to develop special units for teens with cancer and helping them get the treatment and support they desperately need. The charity t-shirt, made from organic cotton, comes in black or white and is available on BenSherman.com, BenSherman.co.uk, and select retailers priced at £40 and $59. 100% of the profits of every Ben Sherman Global Artist Foundry X Rolling Stone Charity T-shirt sold will be donated to help raise money to aid Teen Cancer America’s mission.
Checkmate, knitwear, but make it fashion.
This is the one! We’re talking statement checks that will turn heads for all the right reasons. The Ben Sherman x Rolling Stone collaboration has cool graphic tees, button-down shirts, and the softest high-end knits you’ll want to gift that cool, confident friend who likes to switch it up.
The Stylish Gent, the Classic Ben Sherman Short Sleeve Polo.
Whether it’s a classic polo in a black watch check or a vertical stripe mod knit polo, this is the nod to quintessential Riveria style for that friend channeling Miles Teller or Ryan Reynolds, top marks for effortless styling that can be worn with a suit, or casual sans suit from day to night.
