Not everything needs replacing every few years. I’ve always been drawn to things that are made properly - heavy-duty objects, things you can repair to prolong their life, or items built from materials that even improve with time. This list is a collection of those kinds of objects: the things you buy once, use for decades, and, if you really wanted, could still bring to the grave!

Every time I think of a good present for someone, I take a note of it. This gift guide is a collection of all those notes over the past year - have a look through them. Some of these suggestions will surprise you.

This is a collection of all the videos that I've come across online that have pretty much changed my life. Each one has helped shaped my perspective and philosophy on life, setting me up for success. I hope you can take as much from these videos as I have.

These are some of my favourite places in Amsterdam. If you're eating out for dinner I would recommend booking in advance as places often fill-up and don't like to take walk-ins, even if they have space! That being said, I've chosen this list based of places that aren't too difficult with walk-ins, have good service and, of course, amazing food and drinks! (I might still recommend a few options that require queuing, but with a few tips!)

This a selection of items that I have in my own wardrobe and find them essential for day-to-day life. They rotate easily with many other things and the quality means they will last you decades if you treat them well.

This is a curated list of grooming essentials for the modern man. I've included many old school but nowadays niche shaving items that have stood the test of time. I believe more and more men will gravitate back towards double edge shaving as it's better for your skin and all in all is a more mindful and enjoyable experience. The items below are what in my mind are stylish essentials for getting started plus other nice grooming items.

Some handpicked items that you can add into your Summer wardrobe. I've laid the items out as outfits in rows of 2 per look to help you visualise how I would style each item. Some items are vintage - these are one-off pieces in one size only.

A selection of my favourite bits of stationery, incense and accessories. If you're only looking to improve your note taking or if you are passionate about drawing, sketching or journalling the list will help to create the best conditions for you to do so and enjoy it.

With the quality of most clothing in the world going down, and prices going up, I wanted to make a list of my favourite underwear and socks tested and curated by someone working in the fashion industry. They will look good, and the quality will be top of the market.

Selection of maximalist inspired interior pieces for your home

List of gift ideas for the men in your life, I tried to choose versatile and simple items that are known for their quality so that it won't be wasteful and will last long into the future

If you can't get her a puppy or a kitten..Have a look at these other alternatives that she'll be shocked you knew to get!

These are books from my own personal library that I have found useful in building my own character and career. I think anyone would gain value from reading them and I suggest everyone to keep these in their own book collection.
