What to get your partner for Husband Appreciation Day

Our team discusses options—but is the gift for us or them?

This Husband’s Appreciation Day, be sure to shower your other half with the finer things in life. If you’re running out of time today, the GRAZIA Malaysia team has come together to share what we are getting the important people in our lives. 

“Just to be clear, I am VERY single. So on this day, I would like to appreciate myself for making it through another lonely day. I recently moved into a new place—the Aesop Bronze Holder and the Aromatique Incense will be a perfect addition. The Dipped Paintings by artist Oliver Jeffers would also be perfect for my bachelor pad. Remember, self-love is the best love (when you are single).”

IAN LOH, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

“I appreciate my husband so much that I want to get him a fabulous duvet of his own so that he can stop stealing mine at night! This Kapas Living down duvet is extremely breathable even in our tropical weather, and the 300 thread count cotton sateen case feels luxurious to the touch. You know what? I might even steal this for myself when we sleep.”

POHNEE CHIN, MANAGING EDITOR

“A Le Creuset Casserole or a turntable maybe? Sound very much like things for myself instead. Since I’m buying something, might as well get a double-duty gift so we can enjoy it together.”

“Don’t we all know a man in our lives that are in desperate need of lip balm? For this wonderful occasion, he won’t just get any lip balm. One of the latest brands to arrive in Malaysia, Melixir, just happens to have a cruelty-free and vegan formulation that comes in a clear shade, and best of all, understated packaging.”

Marina Bay Sands

“​​If I had a husband, I’d take him on a special trip to Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands. I recently went to the integrated resort for work and had a great time rediscovering its stellar repertoire of dining, retail, nightlife, and arts and culture offerings. From staying in the refurbished Premier Room to checking out the Sneakertopia exhibition at the ArtScience Museum and indulging in the premium steak at Cut by Wolfgang Puck, Marina Bay Sands has everything that a couple needs to unwind and reconnect.”

“Every guy I know is into video games, so if I were to be gifting on Husband Appreciation Day, I would consider the Nintendo Switch (the OLED version!) or a PlayStation 5.”

SHANE ROHAIZAD, ART DIRECTOR

“Who doesn’t love a crisp white shirt? We both wear quite a bit of shirts but it just feels much better when someone does the ironing for you. The Laurastar Lift Xtra 1980 is at the top of its league. By using Dry Microfine Steam (DMS), it’s a new generation 3-in-1 steam generator that irons, steams, and disinfects. No more wrinkles from us now, but who’s going to do the ironing?”
