Experience Gifts for Him

The him who always says ‘no, really, I don’t want anything’. The him, who you last saw when he was five and now has his own flat, so technically is past the point of a tenner. The him who already owns every colour of blue shirt on the spectrum. The him, who only shops in Hoxton and will only buy his socks from a tiny boho boutique in Osaka. The him who doesn’t do personal hygiene, let alone aftershave. It’s a dilemma.

What to get the tricky, picky bloke in your life? How about a new skill or tag along and go together. Experiences that are way more fun than a pair of socks. From £15.

The pairings are selected with care and could be a pickled cucumber or a slice of poached pear.

Go where cinema first began. Velvet chairs, gold coat hooks, and a working Compton cinema organ. WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT? Right in the heart of London, over 120 years ago, the Lumière Brothers unveiled their Cinematographe machine, kickstarting the film industry; This was the first cinema to open its doors to the paying public, charging 54 people a shilling each to watch the 40 second clip.
