7 Christmas gift ideas for tall people that really fit

The safest Christmas gift for a tall person is clothing with longer sleeves and extra length, or a gift where height doesn’t matter. Buying gifts for tall people is tricky: the sweater has short sleeves and the pyjamas stop above the ankles. Here are 7 ideas that will really fit them under the tree.

In short

For a tall man, go for an elongated merino sweater or pyjamas with longer sleeves and legs. A tall woman will love an elongated hoodie or an Oxford shirt. Socks, a leather wallet and a gift voucher when you don’t know the size are safe bets.

Why is a gift for a tall person so tricky?

Regular clothing is cut for an average body. When the person you’re buying for is around two metres tall, the sleeves end above the wrist and the T-shirt rides up out of the trousers. So choose things with an elongated cut, or gifts where length doesn’t matter.

What to give a tall man?

1. Elongated merino sweater. European merino wool keeps you warm without overheating. The sweater is knitted in the Czech Republic, has extra length in the body and sleeves and can go in the washing machine at 30 °C on a wool programme. Choose from men’s elongated sweaters.

2. Pyjamas that don’t stop above the ankles. Men’s elongated pyjamas made of micromodal are soft, breathable and made in the Czech Republic. Anyone whose ankles get cold at night will appreciate the longer sleeves and legs.

3. Leather wallet. The men’s TallGuys wallet is made of vegetable-tanned leather with a natural texture and has RFID protection. Height doesn’t matter here, so it’s a safe choice.

4. Elongated hoodie. The women’s hoodie made of GOTS-certified organic cotton has extra length in the body and sleeves, is brushed on the inside and made in the Czech Republic. You’ll find it among women’s hoodies.

5. Elongated Oxford shirt. The women’s shirt made of sturdy, breathable Oxford cotton has an elongated cut and is sewn by a Czech workshop specialising in shirts. It works for the office and the weekend. Choose from women’s Oxford shirts.

6. High socks. A pack of three pairs from a Czech knitting mill with more than 60 years of tradition, with a seamless toe and a non-slip cuff. They stay up and don’t slide down.

7. Gift voucher. When you don’t know the size or length, a gift voucher is the safest choice. You can choose an electronic gift card or a printed voucher, and the recipient picks what they want.

How to find out the size without giving it away?

Check the label on their favourite T-shirt or hoodie, the one they wear most often, and find out their height. Sweaters and pyjamas are chosen by size only, the extra length is already built in. For hoodies, T-shirts and trousers you also choose the length by height. If you’re not sure, compare the measurements of clothes that fit them with the table in the size guide.
