Bertram's 2024 Gift Guide

Bertram's 2024 Gift Guide
Every year, the souls of millions of hard-working husbands across the world are crushed around this special time of the year. 

We’ve been waiting for this moment, patiently for months. We may have already even bought our special someone the most thoughtful gift ever. At this point, us – husbands – are so excited, and so full of hope.

And then, the moment finally arrives. Husbands across the globe finally get their Christmas present. They open it, so full of joy and anticipation,…. only to find....

....socks. Or a tie. Or worst of all, a bunch of underpants (like really? Thanks for the hint!).

So, this year, I want to help you find the best and most meaningful gift ever for the man in your life.
 
One that has him beaming with joy. Here we go!


Angkasa Structured Shirt

Want your hubby to look his absolute best at formal occasions? Maybe even make your friends a tiny bit jealous because, oh yes, that’s your man right there, looking sharp. Then the Angkasa Structured Shirt is the gift for him.
 
Why I love it
You know how there are certain clothes that make you look really put-together and feel great about yourself? This is that shirt for me. Because of the intricate lining, it looks and feels really regal. And, of course, the Angkasa batik tulis motif is absolutely stunning.
 
Why he’ll love it
Let’s face it: Men like simplicity. So, if you give us that one go-to shirt for events and special occasions, that’s a big win.
 

PAGISENJA Weekend Shirt

Or as I call it: the cannot-go-wrong shirt (by now, you should have already realized why I’m not in charge of naming our products). 

Why? Because men love this shirt. It’s the perfect middle-ground between formal and casual, and a guaranteed go-to shirt for men who like comfort and a simple design that is easy to wear and pair. 

Why I love it
I absolutely love this shirt – in both black, MALAM, (right in the photo above), and white, PAGI, (left in the photo above) for two reasons: 

  1. It’s so incredibly comfortable, made from undyed, handwoven cotton that’s highly breathable. 
  2. It very generously conceals the early-onset dad bod (a.k.a. a slightly protruding belly – yes, we men can be sensitive about these things, so stop poking it already!)
Why he’ll love it
Again, for men simplicity and versatility are king. Give him something he can wear to all kinds of events without having to think too much. And just like that, you'll be the best wife ever! 
 

ANGKASA Scarf (Gender Neutral)

My personal favorite for long flights or whenever I visit my parents. This scarf is a beautiful, handcrafted scarf to keeps your husband warm. And you can have it embroidered with his initials, too – to make it extra special. 

Why I love it
I just love how this scarf feels on the skin.​ Woven by hand and dyed with natural SweetIndigo™, it is both soft and breathable.

Why he’ll love it
Scarves can make us look really good and regal, especially when combined with a nice suit jacket.
 
Plus, we get cold, too from time to time. And we wanna look our best when we do.
How about that? Three ideas that will for sure win in the "you’re the best, honey" column. 
 
And the best part: We know you’re really busy doing a million things. That’s why we offer free gift wrapping – until supplies last. 

So, let’s make your husband really happy this Gifting Season. Who knows, maybe he’ll surprise you with something extra nice next time around 😉
 
 

All the best and happy gifting,
Bertram


PS: Have an impossible-to-buy-for type of husband or boyfriend? (Yes, they exist!) Give him the gift of choice: We have gift cards valid on our website and in our retail locations in ASHTA and Plaza Indonesia.

PPS: The irony of this question isn’t lost on me: Do you have any ideas for good gifts for my wife? I’m still looking.
