FashionBeans x Apple Christmas Gift Guide 2017
Buying a man a gift for Christmas is a minefield dotted with opportunities to disappoint. Do you buy clothes when you’re not sure about his size or taste? Should you go for a novelty gift which will inevitably end up in a landfill by January? This year, do neither. Instead, try giving him some seriously smart tech to avoid making an offensive size judgement or inadvertently contributing to the world’s environmental baggage.

There’s no need to sift through potentially dodgy devices either, because we’ve partnered with the undisputed king of the tech world, Apple, to devise a list of gift ideas which fuse field-leading specs with pulse-quickening design. No fake appreciative smiles here, all killer no (stocking) filler.
