A gift for him: experiences, not things
He has the watch. He has the cufflinks. What he does not have is a tee time at St Andrews or a seat at the most sought-after table in Spain.
A round on a legendary course
The Old Course at St Andrews is the oldest and most famous course in the world. Tee times are released in advance and by daily ballot, so give him the trip and the plan, and book the hotel nearby.
A table he cannot book himself
DiverXO in Madrid is the most sought-after table in Spain. L'Abysse in Monte-Carlo is one of the most exclusive counters on the Riviera. The best gift is the reservation itself.
An evening of whisky
At SCOTCH at The Balmoral, ambassadors guide guests through hundreds of Scotch whiskies. Book a tasting and a room upstairs.
A night in a palace
The Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo has stood beside the Casino since 1864, with Le Louis XV downstairs and a wine cellar carved into the rock.
The Circle
Membership of the Circle cannot be bought, but it can begin with you. You may nominate him, or apply together, and every nomination is read personally.
How to give an experience
- Put it in writing: a card with the name of the place and the date.
- Agree the date with him quietly beforehand, or with his assistant.
- Include the dress code. It is part of the pleasure.
- Book directly with the house and mention the occasion.
