Does your man love looking good? How about a gift for him that makes him look good?

I’ve written before about belt buckles, I love belts, and shoes. Maybe it’s a leather fetish.

But I do love the look of a great belt with a great belt buckle. I mention that because today I was looking at a website that features some hot belts and buckles, and like it.

You can get all sorts of belt buckles now. In the dark days of the past a belt buckle just held the 2 ends of your belt together, but now a belt buckle is a work of art in itself, and some of them look great.

And as well as looking great some buckles are also functional. I recently reviewed a belt buckle, for example, that was a golf tool as well.

Here’s and example of a buckle that’s useful as well as looks good. It’s the first photo I’ve included.

Not only is it a great Red Sox buckle it’s also useful, because it doubles as a bottle opener.

And for the man who loves his beer, what is he going to do if he’s in need of a bottle opener and doesn’t have one?

Whip off the belt and there’s his opener right there on the end of the belt. Now that’s a way to impress his friends!

I just love some of the belt buckles that they have, I think it’s about the biggest range of buckles that I’ve ever seen, but it’s not just the range, but the quality of the designs that I love too.

So many that I’ve never seen before.

But of course there’s not just the belt buckles that they sell, there’s belts as well. But one other thing caught my eye.

Along with belts, buckles and men’s wallets, caps and sunglasses there’s more.

I have also written about men’s jewelry before as well, including men’s wedding rings. Men of course don’t wear jewelry way as often as women, but men do wear jewelry, and there’s some great men’s jewelry around. Read more

What about gifts for smokers, after all, they need a gift too.

Everyone seems to be down on smokers nowadays, and I should admit that I too am a non smoker. However that doesn’t mean that if your man is a smoker he doesn’t deserve a nice gift.

And why not a smoking related gift while you’re at it.

Perhaps a nice ashtray that might get some conversation going amongst his friends when they see it?

Here’s a lovely ashtray from India. I love arty gift ideas from Asian countries, and I’ve written about Chinese gifts too.

But I love Indian crafts. Especially after visiting India and seeing some of the wonderful crafts that come out of that country.

So why not a beautiful Indian ashtray. Read more

Here’s a great idea if he loves art, as long as you ignore the terrible website.

I’ve been perusing some art gifts and in particular one website which first took my attention. The artist contacted me about the artwork, warned me the website was terrible, and asked me to look at the artwork.

I agree, the website is terrible. But once I got over that I started to look at her artwork and decided I quite liked it.

The artist is Angela Kellett and her website is Man Cave Art.

She produces cut out wall hangings from Luan Wood. I’ve asked her a bit more about it as it interests me and so I’d like to know how she does it. Read more

Tennis gifts for 60 year old tennis players, not 21 year olds.

I’ve come across a tennis gift idea that I thought I’d pass along. It’s not a tennis gift that you’d buy for a 21 year old guy who loves his tennis, but it is a tennis gift for perhaps a 60 year old man who loves his tennis.

Why a 60 year old tennis player and not a 21 year old tennis player? Because the 60 year old guy isn’t as spritely as he used to be and, although he loves his tennis, may not be quite as agile on the tennis court as he’d like. Maybe he’s got back problems, amongst other things.

Well at 60 you’d expect that wouldn’t you. And not just for a 60 year old guy who plays tennis but for a 60 year old guy who plays just about anything, he’ll be slowing up a bit.

So any gift idea that makes his day on the tennis court a little easier has to be welcome. And it will allow him to focus more on the tennis than, say, collecting tennis balls.

So here’s a gift idea for an older man who plays tennis and has a little more trouble bending down picking up tennis balls all the time.

It’s called the “Grip and Lift“. It attaches to the end of his tennis racket and becomes, in effect, his own personal ball boy. Just pick up the ball with the end of the tennis racket and he doesn’t even need to bend over any more. Read more

Unique mens gift ideas. His own personalized dogtags.

I’m asked a lot for unusual ideas for mens gifts. Something that he wouldn’t think of in a million years if you asked him what he wants for his birthday this year.

So here’s one I’ve come across lately that I think fits the bill as pretty unique. Not something that would appeal to all men, certainly, but it will appeal to many I think. And you should know if your man is the type who’d love to have his own personalized dogtags.

Just like the army, except that you can choose the text for the dogtags. It will be imprinted for you, and you’ll be able to select one of 4 different styles, choose your own  silencer color, choose the chain that it hangs on and hey presto, you’ve got him his own dogtags that you’ve designed for him, and which say what you want them to say.

I was looking for an unusual gift idea, here’s a good one.

I’ve written a bit lately about golf gift ideas. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, there’s so many golfers and so there’s got to be a heap of people out there looking for ideas for a gift for a golfer.

But I thought I’d look for something not related to golf this time. And something that’s, well, different.

This is what I found. A mousepad that doubles as a finger drum as well.

Now that’s different. If he spends a lot of time on the computer as I do, and needs a break from time to time he just takes his mouse off the pad and starts drumming.

It’s an electronic drumpad that allows him to play 8 different percussion sounds, including bass, snare, two rack toms, a floor tom, hi-hat, crash, and ride cymbals.

And all he needs to do to start drumming if to use his fingers.

He can adjust the volume, and he can even record his own drumming. Read more
