Holiday Gift Guide: The Sportsman

The men on my Christmas list just aren't fashionable - they're Wisconsin men who spend their weekends in the woods or tinkering with tools. Here are some gift ideas that they would appreciate this holiday season.

(pictured clockwise, starting from upper left)

Filson, Bridle Leather & Stainless Steel Hip Flask, $67.50
Oooms, Wooden USB Stick, $79.80 (on sale)
Arno Bernard, Knife with a Giraffe Bone Handle, $152.07*
Uncommon Goods, Baseball Bat Bottle Opener, $75
Sovereign Code, Kingsley Western Plaid Shirt, $22.49 (on sale)
Williams Sonoma, Monogrammed Beer Mug, $59/set of four
Filson, Small Wool Duffle Bag, $250
eCrater, Silver Playing Cards, $8.88
Uncommon Goods, Golf Ball Bottle Stopper, $25
Wisteria, Black Forest Reindeer Plates, $14.70 (on sale)

*I purchased the Arno Bernard knife for my boyfriend last year - it was a hit. He was like a little boy, carrying around his new toy for days. This year I have a fossilized dinosaur bone knife under the Christmas tree for him.

  7. I confess: I would be equally thrilled if my boyfriend bought me a monogrammed beer mug!! Why is it that monogrammed everything (I love me L coffee mug) is so much better? It really is the simple things in life :)

  9. Hi Jessica! Thanks for joining the fun...love to read all those random things about you.

    The knife, the bottle opener and the beer mug are perfect for my dad.

    And that golf ball bottle stopper for my brother who's such a golf addict. He was asking for lots of golf items which are way beyond my budget. This will make him happy and me, a lot happier.

  14. I almost got my brother a flask this year. Got him a book of war books and a cool little computer mouse for his Netbook instead (snagged one for me too).

    I love that duffle bag. It says, "I chop wood, and then I hit the gym!"
