What's On Igee Okafor's Holiday Wish List?

With an air of debonair that most of us probably thought was lost in time, Igee Okafor embodies effortless old school style and class through the lens of the modern man. Not only with his own wardrobe and presence, but also through the go-to men's style hub he founded, BOND OFFICIAL.

The dapper guy-about-town and frequent host with the most is the ultimate arbiter of chic. Obviously, his approach to holiday gifting doesn't disappoint.

How do you celebrate the holidays?
In general, I really enjoy being with family and friends and doing nothing except watching movies all day, eating, playing games, and staying present in the conversation. When I am with my family, I laugh a lot so every holiday, I look forward to that. I enjoy a change of location from time to time. When I am not at my parents' or my place, I enjoy luxuriating in a beach town because of its quietness and solitude. I also enjoy being in New York City because of its entertainment, shopping, and movie-esque offerings.

Where will you be this season?
New York City and Montauk.

Are you a last-minute or way-in-advance shopper?
I'm a mix of both. I take gifting very seriously. I enjoy a mix of functionality and monetary value in what I give to others.

What's the best gift you've ever given (or received)?
I like to think I create very unique and intimate experiences for my family and friends. Those shared intimate moments I've been able to curate for them have been gifts from me in a way to consistently thank them for how much they've impacted my life. I would also say the same for the gifts I have received - I've been lucky enough to have a great support system that prioritizes me in ways I never even knew I needed. I'm very grateful.

Who's the toughest to shop for on your list?
No one.

What's your go-to hostess gift?
Champagne, darling!

Favorite spots around town to pick up something in person?
Shopping on 5th Avenue is a very special experience in New York during the holidays, especially at Cartier. It never gets old.

What's on your list to get?
A golden doodle, more Cartier, and a house.

What's on your list to give?
Shoes from Manolo Blahnik, Hermes jewelry, Diptyque candles, and a few more surprises.
