This year, a tie simply won't do. This week's Shortlist features five gifts for the man who has everything except, say, a first-edition James Bond.

D ad can be hard to buy for, particularly if he's the kind of man who simply gets himself the things he needs and wants without waiting for a special occasion. But the man-who-has-everything can still be surprised by an exceptional Father’s Day present—you just have to dig a little deeper, looking past the shelves of cologne and mountains of ties to objects that will really speak to his interests.

With that in mind, we combed through our Marketplace to put together a Shortlist of five items that are sure to delight.


1st Edition 'Casino Royale'

Whether Dad's favorite Bond is Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig, this first edition of Casino Royale by James Bond progenitor Ian Fleming is a truly one-of-a-kind gift. Not just a first edition—of which we have many available in our Marketplace—it bears a meaningful inscription from the author to his friend Lisl Popper. The cover itself is a work of art, which will mean dad can show it off proudly when friends are over.

Hermès Limited Edition HAC

The Hermès HAC was introduced in the late 19th century as a bag that could carry equestrian essentials such as riding boots or saddle accessories. Its larger size has therefore made it an ideal piece of luggage for men who travel frequently or carry the world around with them. This HAC is a limited edition from 2020 and features a stunning mountain landscape and open road. It's a distinctive piece for a man with an impeccable sense of style.

Vintage Film Poster

For the classic film buff, we selected this set of three movie premiere posters from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. One of only two known surviving sets from the Italian premiere of the film, this trio would be an excellent addition to a home theater or office. Despite the aggressive postures of the actors, there's something charming about the Italian version of the film title, and a talking point for any curious guests.
