Most men love a clean shave and the starter kit from The Art of Shaving will give them the tools to do just that. If scruff is more your man’s style grab him some Man Candles. Scents like Saw Dust and Fresh Cut Grass will be perfect for any man cave.
1. Clarkson Belt ($35) 2. Leather iPhone case (from $20) 3. Lambswool Half-zip Sweater ($75) 4. Man Candles ($15) 5. Art of Shaving Kit ($115)
Katie’s Picks
Handcrafted and artisan are all the rage right now so I love the idea of giving the guy in your life (those of legal age, of course), spirits to match his tastes and attitude. If he likes to have the best brought to him, choose a bottle of his favorite kind of liquor from a craft distillery like Templeton Rye or Death’s Door. If he’s more of a “do-er”, he’ll love a starter home brew kit from Northern Brewer. If your guy doesn’t imbibe, let him savor the flavors of Ted’s Butcher Block Bacon of the Month club instead!
1. Quilted Puffer Jacket ($98) 2. Bacon of the Month Club (from $78) 3. You the Man mug ($16) 4. Artisan whiskey or gin (prices vary) 5. Homebrew Starter Kit ($80) 6. Kiehl’s Ultimate Man Set ($58)
Stef’s Picks
While you can never go wrong with a bottle of wine from Da Coach, my top pick this year is the subscription to mlb.tv. If you have a baseball fanatic with an affection for personal electronics, mlb.tv streams games straight to your laptop or iPad.
1. Wool Puffer Vest ($80) 2. MLB.TV package (prices vary) 3. Mike Ditka wines (prices vary) 4. Hand Printed Whiskey Glasses ($24) 5. ESPN 30 for 30 Blu-Ray set ($55) 6. Personalized Whiskey leather shaving kit ($60)
I love the belt, J Crew sweater and personalized shaving kit – thanks for the great ideas, ladies!
