Winter gift guide

At Clements and Church even our gift cards are special, we will make them just for you and can include personalised messages to show you care. You could go all out and gift an experience for a full suit fitting or load it up with money towards a special purchase – your imagination can run wild – and it can be used to really make a date out of spending it.

What can be better than a beautiful piece of handmade leather luggage, we have designs for every situation from wash bags to weekend bags and are available in almost any colour or finish you could ever desire, we have some items in store but for that real custom pieces speak to one of our tailors for some inspiration.

A tie is an absolute classic gift for anyone looking to elevate a look with a simple accessory, we’ve worked alongside Italian tie makers Nicky Milano to create an exclusive range of ties in silks and wools.

One of our favourite fellow independents is J.Hyde Opticians based in our home city of Birmingham, a beautiful little store with fantastic staff they have something for everyone and can even sort out your eye tests. They hold interesting styles and materials, often unavailable elsewhere and really know what suits so head to their store on Cannon Street for a browse and advice from their experts.

If you’ve got your head around subscribing to everything else why not try a record subscription? One of our favourites is Rough Trade, they pick out a selection of records every month for you to fit your tastes.

Think a little outside the box and go for something people can experience, some of our favourite places we’ve worked with offer some amazing things to see and do. The Café Royal has gift cards for everything from the sap to afternoon tea, or you could send them to see our friend Abel at the Green Bar and have an evening of the best cocktails in London. If you’re in Marlowe head to the cosy surroundings of the Oarsman, they have gift vouchers available just a couple of examples of what’s on offer experience wise so think of local restaurants or hotels and see what they have to offer as it really is time to help people to explore all the vibrant offerings around you so use this as a great starting point.
