10 Valentines Gifts Your Man will Love.
Trophy Deer and Bull Bicycle Holder, $128 at Trophy
The powder-coated metal frames are an urban version of sticking a buck’s mug up on your wall. Each is offered in a couple of different colors and are as much an ideal storage solution as they are a piece of urban art.
British Army Knife, $59 at Amazon
Made of stainless steel in Sheffield, England, the knife comes with a 2-1/4″ straight, sheepsfoot style blade, a can opener, and Marlin’s Pike for rope work. Just the thing you need when you’re out sailing the seven seas (or your local lake).
Bull Shit. Special Shit. Aw Shit. Good Shit. Hot Shit. Dip Shit. BBQ Shit? Until that last one, we could have just as easily been talking about terms of endearment thrown around during a football game as actual, honest to goodness food seasoning. Seriously. Each of those is a seasoning or a mix about/for (in the original order): steak, all purpose stuff (all spice on crack), Hot n’ Spicy, Sweet N’ Salty, Salsa, sour cream mix for fruit or veggies and, obviously, the BBQ one. Each bottle costs $9, but they’re also available in Get Your Shit Together gift packs that start at $25!
Goruck the Man Tie, $65 at Goruck
Goruck doesn’t screw around when it comes to the products they produce. They torture test their rucksacks with the Goruck Challenge (an event based on Special Forces training–think the combat training you see in the movies, except harder) and now they’re putting those materials to a different use: ties. Each tie comes in two widths (2.5″ or 3.5″), two lengths (60″ or 65″) and three colors (black, sand or camo) and epitomizes rugged handsomeness.
This V-day, help your favorite tech multi-tasker live in the moment with this cellphone signal-blocking hanky. Covered with the playful phrase “My Phone is Off For You,” this inherently romantic handkerchief is made with real silver to safely block cell phone signals.( ok so maybe this gift is more for the ladies)
Sheeeeeiiiiiiittttttttttt. Now you can proudly display your love for one of the greatest television shows all time with the All in the Game Poster from Dennis Culver. All 52 characters from the show are represented on the 24″x36″ poster.
GAMAGO Skull Ice Cube Mold, $12 at Amazon
You think Skeletor drinks his scotch with some standard block of ice? Hell, no! Yes, that's primarily because he's a cartoon character, but if you want to ice down some booze in the most diabolical way possible, check out this Skull Ice Cube Mold. The two part mold turns your H20 into a large skull to cool down your drink.
Uncut and unfiltered, Booker's Bourbon ($50) is a must have for any true bourbon lover's liquor cabinet. Created by 6th generation Master Distiller Booker Noe — also known as Jim Beam's grandson — this drink is bottled straight from the barrel, and comes in at 121-127 proof. Yes, that's quite strong, but thanks to the oaky, smoky flavor and intense, complex finish, odds are you'll be sipping on each glass for as long as you can.
Fully connect your home to your smartphone with Ninja Blocks ($200). This compact, completely customizable/hackable device allows you to connect with a variety of sensors and actuators to monitor and control things around your home, all directly from your cell phone. The starter kit includes a temperature and humidity sensor, a wireless motion sensor, and a wireless door bell; it's and affordable to add more as you need. Of course, hardware is just part of the solution, which is why the app lets you set rules for controlling different items and appliances, and can alert you when someone's at your door, when a door or window is open, or even if it's getting too hot in your wine room.
American Psycho Hardcover Limited Edition, $142 at Tower Books
One of the most maligned, misunderstood, and well-read books of the 1990s makes its first-ever United States hardcover appearance. This new edition features terrific cover art, a new introduction by John Langan, and a lengthy interview with the author. All copies signed by the author...was a struggle to find any copies... sold out most places but found some available at Tower Books and on ebay.
Hope this helps!
yours,
Juli
