Because we all know that recovery and rehabilitation is just as important as the exercise itself, and that the gift of superlative tech nearly always goes down well.

Its rather splendid bottle aside, this frisky fume from Penhaligon’s is well worth a sniff. Designed for men (but who’s checking), and described as a “stable scent for a wild horse,” it intends to capture the thrill of the chase, and delivers with an exceptional and particularly moreish blend of pistachio, cardamon, violet and leather, all seasoned with salt. A winning gift for all involved. Giddy up! £245 for 77ml, penhaligons.com

Gift cards from £20, urban.co
