St Valentine’s gifts for men who have everything

by Paola Fiocchi Van den Brande

St. Valentine’s gift ideas for men who have everything…or almost everything.

There is nothing more arduous than purchasing presents for the man in your life. Choices seem unlimited but when you really need to find the right gift suddenly you realise nothing seems useful, suitable, interesting, or special enough.

The hunt for the right St. Valentine’s gift has started and while I am doing the homework for myself, I hope to help others along the way.

PASSONI BIKES

Italian custom-made titanium racing bikes among the finest in the world. Passoni’s craftsmen, based near Lake Como, will build a bespoke bike just for you using the finest materials. Each collector’s frame is unique, customised by hand in its geometry, design and components.

Why not make it a weekend away? Spend a couple of days in one of our luxury villas on Lake Como. Passepartout Homes Concierge team can arrange a private appointment at the Passoni factory combined with a dining and shopping experience in Milan or Como.

Prices for a custom-built bike start from GBP4500.

SAGE ESPRESSO MACHINE

Great looking, high pressured espresso coffee machines to create the ultimate taste experience, that honour tradition and techniques. From manual to automatic, Sage espresso coffee machines grind the right amount of coffee beans, ensure the correct temperature and water pressure.

Wake up on St Valentines’s day to the comforting smell of fresh coffee and spend the rest of the day daydreaming.
