As I mentioned, I am feeling WAY more Christmassy as December creeps on (or maybe it's just that it's been rainy and dark for days in Durban and it feels more Northern Hemispher-ey than usual). But I must admit I am WAY behind on Christmas shopping. If you're anything like me, you'll need some ideas, and that's why I've put together another gift guide - this time it's for the boys. Each of these would be perfect for a groomsman - or as a stocking filler or smaller gift for the hubs. And as always, keep an eye out for some of our fab South African makers in amongst my picks! (PS You can find these and lots more gift ideas in our dedicated 2015 Christmas Gift Guide Pinterest Board)

1. Leather washbag - it's a classic for a reason. This one sports a waterproof lining and a hot press monogram.
2. This brass and cherry wood compass is perfect for the adventurer and can be personalised with an engraving on the bottom.
3. Here's another great gift for your most adventurous groomsman - hang this 'scratch the world' map and then scratch off countries as you visit them.
4. What's more adorable than a shweshwe bowtie? Nothing. Except maybe a hot man in a shweshwe bowtie!
