Stocking Stuffers Pour Hommes

ADG was busy this past weekend getting the Maxminimus digs all decked out for the holiday but, apparently not too busy to squeeze in a quick scolding over my inequity in stocking stuffer choices. I'll have you know Maxie, I pushed back my wish list guest series to throw this post your way. Hope that LFG's got deep pockets...

I'm smack in the middle of this Larry McDonald tell all and I can't get enough. I grabbed it from the library on CD for a recent road trip and I now look for any excuse to run errands and pick up where I left off...

On one of the rare occasions I ventured out of my usual blogging hood I stumbled across this Southern Marsh Collection foxhunt tee and socked it away for a rainy day. Snowy will work too...

The requisite tie...Just make sure it falls under the Hermes, Ferragamo or, according to my friend Amy Fahrenkopf, the Bvlgari umbrella of good taste...


Babe prefers a money clip to a wallet and this handsome Elsa Peretti for Tiffany's thumbprint model even has me trying to drum up a need for one...

Love a guy in Vilebrequins and I'm currently eying up the Moorea's in the Lanai print for a certain someone who I hope to see roasting alongside me on la playa Mexicana...

Lure him into the kitchen with my favorite Wüsthof knife, the Classic Hollow Ground Santoku. It's a win win gift...

A needlepoint cummerbund kit from M's Canvashouse with a promise to complete. And, with Valentine's looming, if you time the finishing just sooo it could become two gifts for the price of one..

Shotgun shell studs from B.D. Jeffries to compliment their swanky, new needlepoint cummerbund. Throw in the shotgun cartridge cufflinks and they'll be black tie perfect...

Every year I buy at least one Steinbach nutcracker hugely discounted from Marshalls for "our" collection but, sadly this year they don't seem to carry them. Thank goodness Jill at Tinkled Pink and Green sent me this picture text when she discovered secret stock at T.J Maxx's HomeGoods store...

One of my all time fav stocking stuffer gifts for Babe was the classic Tiffany's engine-turned sterling buckle paired with a B.D. Jeffries alligator belt strap. FYI, these straps are très more affordable than the Brooks Brother's version...

Since the girls got the Frank Gehry dream cuff I thought it only fair to offer the guys a similarly outrageous trinket with these antique hunting dog cufflinks...

Sneaky, no doubt, but it's one sure fire way to get away with getting that nearly $700 Eres lingerie set you had to walk away from in NYC last week while the lady in her sixties, one dressing room over, took one in every color. All under the guise of Christmas generosity, natch...

Kindness of ADG at
Maxminimus for forgiving me exposing LFG to the PG13 offering and Jill at Tinkled Pink and Green for keeping me in the loop clear from Texas. Also, Amy Fahrenkopf for the continuing fashion education...XXOO

  1. Why thank you! Always glad to help my schwanky blogger pals. ;-)

    Speaking of gifts, you may want to add the book I just posted about to your list. I'm sure it's right up your allie...

  2. If you have a Tuesday Morning near try them. I collect these nutcrackers and I didn't see them at TJ Maxx or Marshalls this year.

  3. Shotgun shell studs are perfect for my hubs.

    This is my first comment here, but I had to step out of the woodwork. I love your blog. No, really. LOVE. "Kindness of..." is my favorite blog read each day! Bravo!

  8. Damn...be careful what you ask for! I complained about the scant options for "guy loot" and you've already cost me a hundred and seventy bucks from yesterday's post. LFG is giving me a belt from yesterday and there's more than one item from this post that I'll pounce on.

    Thank God I'm not enamoured with any gal at present who's worth a seven hundred dollar bra and panty set. That scares me.

    You know that LFG and I love you in a sisterly way. So please, don't call me Maxie again. That's a pad.
