StyleforhimA sartorialist’s selection
Hello,London
Before you bellow ‘Too soon!’ remember that the
best gift haul is acquired quietly over time. Let
these pages be your guide to thoughtful, stylish
presents rather than panic-fuelled novelties.
This year, we’ve added a bargain pick for those
on Scrooge’s budget. If all
else fails, you'll find bottled
Christmas spirit on p48, in
our round up of festive booze.
Happy shopping!

OBJECT OF DESIRE
Synth kit by Little Bits and Korg
From Kraftwerk to acid house, most of electronic music’s
most far-out sounds were put together on analogue
synthesizers. This little Lego-sized kit builds a mini-synth,
using the same technology that’s inside Korg’s range of
keyboards. A nerdy manual and idiot-proof click-together
design will get them twiddling knobs and oscillators within
a few minutes, fashioning everything from UFO sound
effects to cascading arpeggios. Combine with a gold cape
for a full Rick Wakeman Christmas. £101.63.

OBJECT OF DESIRE
Sony Bravia KD-55X8505BBU Ultra HD TV
This television is a film buff’s dream. Ultra HD (UHD) is the
highest-resolution image available, at a whopping four
times HD - which delivers a picture that’s nothing short of
incredible. This is a 55-inch screen, though you can also
choose from 49-inch and 65-inch versions – if you live in
an aircraft hangar. With UHD you can sit closer than with
regular HD, so the image is even more immersive.
Just don’t put on ‘The Ring’.
