Paul’s Christmas Gift Guide
At this time of year, the shop fills up with familiar questions: "What would you recommend for my dad?" or "Any safe bets for my boyfriend who’s got everything?" So here’s my answer - 10 gifts from the PARA‑DAIZA rails that actually get picked, tried, and loved. From timeless jackets to the scent we can’t keep in stock, these are the pieces that land. Winners, well-made stuff for the men in your life.
If you’re visiting Edinburgh this Christmas - or heading through from Glasgow for a proper day out - swing by the Stockbridge store. You’ll find good people, slow fashion, and gear built to last.
1. The Number One Fragrance
A full-proof gift. PARA‑DAIZA’s debut fragrance, blended and bottled in Edinburgh. Think citrus oils, layered extracts, and a subtle complexity that works year-round. Loved by both men and women, this scent’s got depth without being overpowering. Small-batch, responsibly sourced, and just... class. We call it Number One for a reason.
2. The Cord Overshirt
This one flies off the rails. Available in four colours from soft cream to rich navy - it’s an easy all-rounder. Cut from a midweight organic needlecord, it layers well in winter and still works solo come spring. Think, clean lines, relaxed fit. Most of our regulars own at least two. Looks smart without trying. Guaranteed winner.
3. The Cashmere Fisherman Knit
This one hits. 100% pure cashmere, fully fashioned in Hawick by traditional knitwear makers who’ve been perfecting this stuff for generations. It’s the one jumper we see guys try on in-store and refuse to take off. Understated luxury, loose relaxed fit - great weight, warmth, and wearability. Whether it’s for your old man or the main man in your life, this one lands every time.
4. The Hoodie
Everyone needs one. A good hoodie’s like your favourite record - you reach for it without thinking. Clean fit, soft hand feel, no shouting. It’s an everyday throw-on that still feels premium. Built to last and cut from soft organic cotton. This one is for the brothers, sons, and those who claim they’ve got “everything.”
5. The Lambswool Beanie
Small gift, big win. Our beanies are made in the UK from warm, breathable lambswool that won’t itch or lose shape. Easy to wrap, easy to wear. Choose a classic black or one of our earthy seasonal tones — looks good on anyone, regardless of age or haircut. Great stocking filler or extra something when you’re not sure what to get.
6. The Core Worker Jacket
Our best-selling shape. If he hasn’t got one yet, now’s the time. The Core Worker is simple, sharp, and built for wear - organic\ linen cotton blend with just enough structure. No big branding, just timeless utility and great quality. Comes in 3 colours (navy is the best seller ) and suits every age. Feels like a jacket, wears like a shirt — it just works.
7. The Leather Goods
Hard to go wrong here. Whether it's our tri-fold wallet, soft-grain leather wash bag or the premium Weekend Bag — these pieces tick the gift box without trying too hard. Built from full-grain leather, they’ll age well and travel better. Comes boxed, feels thoughtful. No big ogos shouting. Just clean, useful design. One for the dad, the mate, or the man who’s hard to buy for.
8. The Atelier Tee
The Atelier Tee’s built from a heavyweight cotton jersey with a boxy, fashion-forward block - not oversized, just right. Men love the fit once they’ve tried it. Finished with subtle l branding and available in seasonal colour drops. Great for guys who know their style, or the ones still figuring it out.
9. The Core Crew Neck
Every guy needs a decent sweatshirt and this one nails the brief. Soft to touch heavy cotton, clean shape and customers love them. It’s a core piece for a reason: once they try one, they tend to come back for more. 100% organic cotton, garment dyed, and stitched with care. Sizes true, lasts forever.
10. The Atelier Bomber
The question is — does he deserve one? Part of our limited-edition Atelier Collection, this piece is cut from the best cloth in Britain. We blend premium merino herringbone from Abraham Moon & Sons (Yorkshire) Made in collaboration with our trusted manufacturer in Leeds. A sharp Harrington-inspired cut. It’s slow fashion at its finest — one for the collectors.
We’ve built PARA‑DAIZA around three things: People, Product and Purpose. That means small-batch collections, responsibly made garments, and a brand rooted right here in Stockbridge. Whether you're shopping for a partner, your dad, a best mate, or yourself — this guide's full of full-proof gifts that feel considered and go the distance.
Order online or come see us in person — we’ll be here every day until Christmas Eve.
