Treat him to: great shoes as they're another great confidence boost for that all important first day. We think these classic handmade black brogues from Samuel Windsor could just do the trick. 

Perfect choice: because they are classic, beautifully made by craftsmen from premium grade leather, and he will certainly have a spring in his step wearing these.

If he's going to be travelling a lot for work, then you don't want him turning up with scruffy, creased shirts. We love this luxury Shirt Luggage from James & Longbourne. It holds up to 7 shirts and 4 ties, and they will arrive in pristine condition. And its small enough to fit into his briefcase. 

Lets face it, there aren't many occasions now when you need a pen. But for when he does, best to make it a great one, and not some dogeared Bic. This Ambassador pen from Links of London is a beautiful gift in its own right, but you can make it extra special by getting it engraved. You could consider some great cufflinks for him at the same time!

If he thinks blackberry is only a great fruit for anti-oxidant content, then perhaps you best go pick out a great diary for him instead. And if you want a real treat for him, then go for the Portobello Diary from Smythson. Thankfully they do make a half year diary, so he'll never be too far away from being able to use it! And again you can get it personalised with him initials. 

 If he's a bit of a gadget guy, then perhaps this is the time to upgrade himto iPhone. Only available, legitimately, on contract, you can't deny its great looks and brilliant functionality. Style and substance, he's bound to love it. Don't forget to get a great case for it at the same time!

If you don't want to go the whole iPhone hog, but he's facing a long commute, then at least treat him to an iPod Touch. Again we love it for it's great looks and functions, but also because if you buy it from Apple direct, then you can have your own message for him engraved on it. Complete the loving finishing touches by loading it with the songs that mean the most to the two of you.

 

This might be a great point to buy him a beautiful watch, and a distinctively stylish one at that. Christopher Ward allow you to do that, getting all the style and functionality without the breathtaking price tag of some better known brands. We love the Malvern Chronograph, with its gold case and beautiful leather strap.  

If you want to give him something more fun and funky, then it's hard to go wrong with a Ducti Tapebomb Watch. The stuff of legends, this is shock resistant and ultra robust. The strap is covered in Super Duct Tape and reinforced with tough leather, so this should stand up to whatever he throws at it! 

Cufflinks are always a great way to add a bit of personality to a suit. You can find something to reflect his interests and desires, or just to add a bit of subtle bling to his outfits. We like these crystal edged cufflinks by Simon Carter, stylish rather than full on outrageous bling! K J Beckett have one of the best selections going to suit every taste and budget.

Now, it wouldn't do for his trousers to fall down on day one in a new job, or for his trousers to be held up by a bit of string. So belt up in style with this gorgeous Italian leather belt. Subtle buckle but ever so stylish, it'll make sure he stays up in style! And it's really two belts for the price of one, as it's reversible between black and brown. Perfect!
