The December Wish List features a couple of winter must-haves as well as a piece of tech that could potentially make me switch from iPhone.
Nothing CMF Phone 1
I've been using Nothing Ear earbuds for a few years and love their design and performance. Since getting them, Nothing have released a few new tech gadgets in their stable and I'm a fan of their new CMF Phone 1. A well-designed and well-priced smart phone that might make me ditch my iPhone. It's affordable enough to get as a second phone and use it's features to get familiar before going whole hog.

Universal Works Military Chino
As it gets colder you need trousers to help you battle the elements. Sometimes I find full wool trousers, or corduroy trousers a touch too warm and don't get worn that often as I'm waiting for the right frosty conditions. Universal Works' Military Chino is a lighter winter friendly fabric made from an upcycled Italian tweed cotton-wool blend.

Blue de Chauffe Waxed Tote Bag
Carry all your Christmas shopping in this lovely waxed cotton tote bag from Bleu de Chauffe. When it gets heavier you can extend the handle strap to give some more space so you can sling it over your shoulder.

Gloverall Scarf
I added a Gloverall scarf in my Christmas Gift Guide for Stylish Men and I think it's an item I'd have myself. A super-soft lambswool in an elegant oversized check design to give some warmth and style through December and the rest of winter.

Hoka Kaha 2 Frost Gore-Tex Hiking Boots
I love a good hike, and I'm sure a few of you are going to go on some between Christmas and New Year. Hoka's Kaha 2 Frost hiking boots are a super comfortable boot taking their running shoe technology in their sole and midsole compounds, paired with a Vibram lugged grip. It also has an insulated lining to keep your toes warm as you battle the fells and climb to the summit.

Bowmore 12yo Sherry Oak Whisky
Whisky is a great winter spirit, whether you have it as a night cap or enjoy on a regular basis. I'm a fan of the slightly peatier variety and Bowmore is one of my favourite distilleries. They've just released a Sherry Oak finished whisky in their 12yo, 15yo and 18yo expressions. Definitely worth a look for this month!

Mulled Wine
No winter is complete without some mulled wine (or mulled cider). Get yourself a bottle or two to share with friends and loved ones.
