Gifts for Him

Are you shopping for a man who has everything? Men are notoriously tricky to buy for when they seem to own everything and need nothing. They aren't always vocal about what they want, and to make things worse, anything they have their eye on, they buy themselves. 

But do not fret, we have everything covered for you! Get inspired by our edit of mantiques at Alfies...

Valentine's at Alfies

It's that time of year again when we can not avoid the influx of heart shaped objects and red roses. Each year it becomes more and more difficult to find that perfect gift, something that's neither too cheesy, nor too ubiquitous, and suffice to say it can be difficult to get into the spirit of Valentine's. However, with around 70 dealers specialising in a variety of items such as jewellery, glass, ceramics, vintage fashion and home accessories, a visit to Alfies can diminish any gift hunting anxiety. Rest assured that the recipient won't have seen your chosen gift anywhere else, making it all the more special and unique.

Here are just a few of our top Valentine's picks: 

18ct gold and diamond earrings, 1960s, offered by Pari's Jewellery
