The Best Umbrella Gift for a Man
The short answer: the best umbrella gift for a man is a full-length English umbrella with a wooden crook handle, made by hand and presented in a box. It is useful every week, it looks better with age, and it says that some thought went into the choice. Our recommendation is the London Umbrella (£255), cut from one continuous length of English chestnut.

Questions about umbrella gifts
Is an umbrella a good gift for a man?
Yes, when it is a good one. A well-made umbrella is something most men use every week but rarely buy for themselves, which makes it an ideal gift for a birthday, Christmas, Father's Day or retirement.
What colour umbrella should I buy for a man?
Black is the safest and most versatile choice. Navy and dark green are the classic alternatives, and look especially good with a wooden handle.
Does it come gift wrapped?
Every Bucklesbury umbrella is dispatched in a cotton cover and a Bucklesbury presentation box. If you would prefer plain packaging, tell us in the order notes.
When should I order for Christmas?
Please order by Wednesday 16 December for UK delivery, Friday 11 December for Europe, Thursday 10 December for the USA and Canada, and Thursday 3 December for the rest of the world.
