Gift Ideas for Him — Vincent's Collected Wisdom on the Art of the Considered Gift

A well considered gift is a great way to show someone that she/he/they are important to you. Finding a gift for a man is one of those tasks that sounds straightforward—until you actually attempt it. The man in question either already owns everything he wants, buys things the moment he thinks of them, or claims to need nothing. The latter is rarely entirely true, but it does make the whole exercise considerably more difficult.

Some people seem naturally gifted at the art of giving, delivering thoughtful and original presents year after year. For most of us, however, it’s a different story. We default to safe, predictable options that get polite smiles but rarely leave a lasting impression.

A FatCloth belongs to that rare category of gifts men don’t buy for themselves—not because they wouldn’t want one, but because a pocket square rarely makes it onto anyone’s mental shopping list. That’s precisely what makes it work. It’s practical, stylish, compact enough to fit in an envelope, and refreshingly free from sizing guesswork.

Vincent has gifted many over the years, and the result is almost always the same: a genuinely welcomed surprise. The key is simple—choose a design that fits the recipient and explain him why you chose that. A well-chosen pattern turns a small object into a personal one that will be remembered far longer than that nice bottle of wine.

Give him the perfect gift

Everyone has use for the stylish FatCloth multipurpose pocket square

For the man who has everything

The gentleman who already owns everything he wants is usually well-dressed enough to appreciate a pocket square — and discerning enough to spot a generic gift from a mile away. It’s one of those rare gifts that manages to be both practical and personal — without feeling predictable.

The Black Line collection offers designs with enough personality to feel considered rather than convenient. If he already wears pocket squares, he almost certainly doesn’t own one that doubles as a glasses cloth. And if he already owns a FatCloth, the chances of you picking the exact same design are reassuringly slim. And if you should, wouldn’t that just make it double the success?

What is a FatCloth?

For the design lover

Some men wear their interests on their sleeve, some in their breast pocket. The FatCloth × Mucha collection brings Art Nouveau compositions from Alphonse Mucha’s archive into a refined 30×30 cm format. The FatCloth × Tom of Finland collection, on the other hand, is for those with a bolder taste, shared references, and an appreciation for cultural history.

These are not just accessories – they are wearable pieces of art. Both are limited editions – which is either a reason to act now or a perfectly valid excuse should you miss your window of opportunity.

It's more than a pocket square and he knows it.

For the groom, best man, or groomsmen

A pocket square is a practical and lasting wedding gift. It completes the outfit on the day and remains long after the buttonhole has wilted. A carefully chosen FatCloth also works as an emergency handkerchief if the ceremony turns unexpectedly emotional, which is always a possibility worth preparing for.

For those looking for something more personal, FatCloth custom squares can be created with a shared motif for the entire wedding party. Minimum order 50 pieces. A small detail on the day, a lasting reminder long after.

It’s not just for men — the ladies tend to want one too.

For the Moomin fan

The FatCloth for Moomin collection is officially licensed and features custom designs created from original black & white Moomin artwork, transferred onto FatCloth’s signature microfibre cloth.

It works for Moomin enthusiasts of all ages and all levels of seriousness about the matter. Finns living abroad tend to find these particularly useful around Christmas, as they make exceptionally good gifts featuring familiar characters and scenes from stories loved around the world.

For the colleague or client

The office gift is a diplomatic minefield. It needs to be appropriate, useful regardless of personal taste, and priced in a way that doesn’t raise eyebrows in either direction. A FatCloth sits comfortably within that range. It arrives in a presentable cardboard sleeve without requiring additional wrapping and is genuinely unlikely to be something the recipient already owns.

It says “I put some thought into this” without requiring you to spend very long doing so. That’s likely why Custom FatCloths have become particularly popular as corporate gifts around Christmas. Professional enough for the office, personal enough to be remembered.

For Dad

Each year, the challenge of finding a gift for your father grows in proportion to how long he’s been around and how many of his hobbies you’ve already covered. A dad deserves something that actually lasts, not a gift that disappears into a drawer the next day. A FatCloth is reliably useful, age-appropriate without feeling generic, and comes in enough variety to match his personality rather than forcing you to guess his shirt size.

If he spends time outdoors, the FatCloth Turtle Scarf is well worth considering – a multipurpose neck gaiter that works considerably harder than a standard scarf and looks the part doing it.

The practical bits

All FatCloths arrive in a stylishly designed cardboard sleeve, so no additional gift wrapping is required, though Vincent wouldn’t judge you for adding some. Most of our products are priced between €29 and €39. If you’re genuinely stuck, a digital gift card (just below) lets the recipient make their own choice, which is sometimes the most considerate option of all.

Shipping is available worldwide. If you need your order to arrive by a specific date, the trackable shipping option is the safer choice. The free option travels by post and, like most things worth waiting for, arrives on its own schedule. A thoughtful gift, delivered without unnecessary complications.
