RareDaily's Holiday Gift Guide 2003

It’s better to receive so give yourself these gifts or at least return those ugly gifts for store credit.

Time is a luxury, especially when it’s a silver-plated Traveller Alarm Clock by Links of London. They’ll think you paid twice as much as the $120 retail price. At Links of London stores (in midtown at 535 Madison Avenue, (212) 588-1177)
or at linksoflondon.com.

You’re already a fan of the new Schick Quattro, we know (so are we). But when you have to one-up your roommate, go for the award-winning Rosendahl Razor. $25 gets you the best looking razor and its pocket-sized case, designstore.com.

Mr. Gizmodo
You’re the Beemer Z4-type, except its Winter so the top stay’s on. Why not be like Bond… James Bond and test drive the BMW Memory Watch 256 as in 256MB of upload-able files (translate: MP3s and stuff). Mac and PC compatible, $169 at bmw-online.com.

Mr. Wall Street
The luxe life is measured in thread counts. But you knew that and that’s why you’ll appreciate and adore Charles Tyrwhitt’s super-fine 180-thread count shirts (yes, one hundred and eighty thread count!). Be impressed with the English craftsmanship, the real mother of pearl buttons, the sterling silver collar stiffeners, but most of all, 180-threads feel real good! Be the boss or just look like one, CT’s 180 line ($160) is available exclusively at their 377 Madison Avenue store.
