K-style Gifts that your Oppa Will Love

Not sure what to get your beau this Valentine’s Day? If hi-tech electronics and customised gift box sets won’t appease him, maybe our curated list of Korean-inspired gifts might pique his interest. Here are three sets of ideas that would make a great gift for your special man, depending on your budget:

Go Personlised

First off, we have the personalised gift section where you can add his initials on a wallet, pick a tie that has his favourite dog illustrated on it, or a simple key ring in his initials.

1. Wallet monogram, Luccica, KRW58,000, + Add To Wishlist
   This wallet brand is made locally in Korea with cow leather is available to customise with your choice of initials or a short sentence to your dearest this Valentine’s day.

3. Usual Me Initial Keyring, Monday Edition, KRW48,000, + Add To Wishlist

Be Practical

1. Air Cushion SPF50+/PA+++, IOPE Men, KRW27,000, + Add To Wishlist
   This air cushion is created for the dapper man—it doubles up as a sunblock to even out the skin tone for a more photo-ready skin finish.
2. Nipple Band, Olive Young, KRW3,500, + Add To Wishlist

   If he already has Swiss Army knives, this is another practical add-on for his outdoor adventures, or even as cutlery he can bring to work.

5. TOTE 310 HEAVY TWILL CHARCOAL, Rawrow, KRW39,000, + Add To Wishlist
   A lightweight and waterproof bag for casual occasions that doesn’t break the bank.

Let’s Splurge

Lastly, a little splurge but we promise that it will be worth the Benjamins baby~!

1. Brief in Brief Bag, Alef & Tav, KRW275,000, + Add To Wishlist
   This spacious, multipurpose bag can be used four ways: a canvas bag, tote, crossbody and as a shopper. Its detachable sling strap makes it easy to switch styles to suit his daily needs.

3. Bradley Timepiece, Eone, KRW379,000, + Add To Wishlist
   This one-of-a-kind timepece was designed by a Korean guy named Hyungsoo Kim together with Bradley Snyder (who lost his eyesight during the Afghan war and went on to win a Silver medal in the Paralympics 2011)—with the aim to create an innovative timepiece that’s able to cater to the visual impaired as well as the masses. Should you like to read a thorough review on the Eone Bradley Timepiece, this would be a great place to start.
