#giftguide2018

[annacascarina]

After Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Small Business Saturday, you're probably sick of the sight of gift guides and Xmas shopping. I know I am. However, over the weekend it has been nice to explore some of the lesser known little brands that sell really interesting unique gifts that I, for one, would love to receive. So if like me you haven't even started your Xmas shopping (yes I know, who even am I🙈), then take a gander at this really cute selection of gifts for that kooky friend, awkward aunt or fashion forward niece. I guarantee they'll love opening any one of these gifts on Xmas day! . . . . #quirkygifts #xmasgiftguide #giftguide2018 #alternativegifts #mystyle #askanna #xmasgifts #shopsmall #smallbusinesssaturday #shopindependent #midsize #midage #kooky #giftguide2018 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq6oHfzF6Yh/?igshid=1nfzz3vklwfkf

Shopping for the gentlemen in your life can be a challenge—in our experience, men tend to adhere to a fairly strict day-to-day uniform, which makes statement-making gifts a bit of a gamble, and they also seem to purchase items when the mood strikes, rather than cataloguing a “wish list” for the holiday season. 

So when we decided to curate gift ideas “for him,” we went in search of handsome yet practical pieces that will blend seamlessly into a wardrobe or easily fit into a list of wants.   

Here are our top picks for gifts for that lucky guy in your life…

Here are the top 10 things we have scouted for him: 

1.  The ultimate luxury  all wheel drive sedan from Sears Imported Autos

2.  Burgundy 100% cashmere Love Your Melon  hat from Martin Patrick 3

3.  “ The Man, The Myth, The Legend” Pint Glass from Northern Glasses

4.  Luxury  men’s watch from  JB Hudson Jewelers 

5.  The Wild Unknown Animal Spirt deck and guidebook gift set from Jewelweed
