Each year the web is crowded with thousands of Gift Guides: from what to buy for your friends to what to buy your mother, and they are all great (we wrote some amazing pieces as well, read here) but, rarely there is enough information to cover each individual, each taste, each body type, each wallet. This is why, this project was so important to me, because I wanted to integrate as many items as possible to fit a larger pool of men with this massive gift guide for men.
What you will find in this gift guide, are items from these categories: shirts, suits, blazers, outerwear, knitwear/jumpers, trousers/pants/jeans, ties/bow ties, polos/t-shirts, shoes, socks, underwear, bracelets, watches, hats, belts & suspenders, bags, glasses, wallets & card holders, books, alcohol, perfumes, shaving stuff, shampoos, gadgets & more.
All the products featured in this gift guide are from companies we’ve worked with and made a great impression or companies we believe in that offer high quality items.

Check out their article as well because Antonio featured some nice products that he tried and can guarantee for most of them!

SUITS TO GIFT A GENTLEMAN
1. Steel Grey Wool Suit by Ermenegildo Zegna

BOOKS A GENTLEMAN SHOULD READ
At Male Extravaganza we love and value books, and we are a true believers that books can really shape your life. It’s widely known that a simple idea in one book can actually change your life and expose you to new possibilities.
Also, we are in the business of inspiring people by anything and everything we do, be it through style, care for your body, healthy living, a healthy lifestyle or business success. It’s been said for centuries that “Readers are Leaders” (or the other way around), so in order to create a better world, to be able to inspire through our leadership sense, we need to constantly read and develop ourselves.
Below is a selection of the finest books on personal development, leadership, law of attraction, success, happiness, relationships, awareness and truly everything that can contribute to long-term happiness. We’d be more than happy to include other books if you share them with us in the comments section! Enjoy!
The following section is covered by Male Extravaganza’s CEO, Mihai Herman. Enjoy!
1. How To Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci – Michael Gelb
If you are anything like me, the first thought that will come to your mind would be “how can this possibly make me happier?”. Well, I never thought I’d fall in love with this book that easy, but it’s one of the best books I’ve read so far because it constantly gives you more and more possibilities through the examples set by Leonardo. It expands your reality like no other book and it makes you believe (if you are open) that you can actually become an expert as well even in more than just one field of activity.
Probably the best part about this book is that it has exercises that you can do right away to become more centered, to deal with anxiety, to live life at its fullest, to become more teachable, to become more successful and many more.
Did I mention that at the end of the books it also teaches you how to draw?!

2. Think and Grow Rich – Napoleon Hill
A classic and most probably the first book that you should read if you’re just starting out reading self-development and law of attraction books. It goes into a lot of details about the law of attraction and all the different values that a successful person has.
Think and Grow Rich is also one of the first books to expose the power of the human mind and how to use it in order to be, do or have anything that you want. A must read!
Order it here!
3. The Magic of Thinking Big – David J. Schwartz
Another classic and it should have a top place on your must-read list! Dr Schwartz goes into detail about how by thinking a certain way you can change everything in your life (for better): your career, your relationships, your financial status, your health, everything. He also proves that you do not have to be a genius or to have innate talent to become successful and to live your dreams.
Order it here!
4. Money and The Law of Attraction – Jerry & Esther Hicks
Jerry & Esther Hicks are some of our favorite teachers out there because they manage to explain everything in their books with such clarity that anyone can understand. (well, Abraham does actually)
Abraham is an entity that shares knowledge through Esther about the law of attraction, about the planet earth, life, universe, how to be happy and much more. Read the books and see if you resonate with any of the ideas presented. Another great read by them is “Ask and It Is Given”.
Get it here!
5. The Art of Living by Joseph Campbell
Joseph Campbell was an American author and teacher born in New York City in 1904. Some people say that this is one of the most challenging, thought provoking books ever written and they might be just true, especially if you look at just the first sentence: “The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are”.
It is that kind of book that you can actually open at any page and get something valuable from it. A books that deserves to be read and re-read every few years.

7. Spiritual Marketing – Joe Vitale
“Spiritual Marketing” is the easiest book you can possibly read on the subject of “Law of Attraction” – you can easily finish it on a Sunday afternoon. What I like the most about this book is that it gives you a lot of examples and stories that make you believe more in yourself.
It also talks about how our beliefs shape our life and how they can push us forward or hold us back. It pays off even if you read it just for the part where he talks about how to become more aware of what you think and believe.

8. The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem – Nathaniel Branden
Nathaniel Branden was a psychotherapist and writer, one of the first people to talk about the importance of self-esteem and definitely one of my favorite people. This book is a practical guide on the important of self-esteem in a man’s life and how the level of self-esteem will dictate your future and all the decisions that you will make.
One of the exercises in the book is “unfinished sentences” that you have to write down every day and will give you a larger view of your life, your struggles and what you need to change in order to raise your self-esteem and become happier. A must read and I can’t tell how much this book has helped me move forward.

ONLY THE FINEST ALCOHOL
Disclaimer: we do not promote the alcohol consumption on a regular basis or just because “you are bored” or “just don’t want to deal with these problems right now”. We promote alcohol consumption as a social event with friends and family a few times a year (we talk about spirits). We are also against getting so drunk that you cannot remember what you did last night (okay, we’ve all been through that at least once in our lives, but don’t make it an every weekend event!).
We do encourage you to drink one glass of wine every day or every other day as it is very healthy for you and will improve your overall wellbeing. It’s is actually one of the most important factors found in people that lived over 100 years: regular consumption of pure cocoa, wine and olive oil.
In conclusion, please enjoy responsibly!
