Mr. Bijoy's 2018 Gift Guide Pt. 2 (for the lady in your life)

Image
Since it went over rather well last year, I've compiled a little gift guide for the guys shopping for that special lady. So here are a few nifty things that the lady in your life may appreciate. I don't claim that any of these are really great gifts for the woman for whom you're shopping, but they're nifty. Ok, so: This little tech kit is great for the woman on the go. Cables and more in a cute little pouch that doesn't suck.   Bling for the lady that likes chunky bling .  Have a fashionista on your hands? Try this elegant coffee table book that elevates a space with beauty and class.  Give her something sweet because you aren't always sweet.  Oh, she's a badass? I got you . I'm not one to tell you to buy your lady lingerie. But pajamas , pajamas are great.  Coziness is everything. This classic throw comes in 11 colors and comes with the promise of warmth and style.  An inexpensive watch that makes a bold fashion statement is a ri...

By request, I've compiled a little gift guide for the guys shopping for that special lady. So here are a few nifty things that the lady in your life may appreciate. I don't claim that any of these are really great gifts for the woman for whom you're shopping, but they're nifty. Ok, so: Does your lady take her phone's camera to new levels of photographic artistry? Get her this really cool clip-on lens to up her game. It's pretty cool.  Celebs sure wear a lot of fun necklaces, but they're all so expensive. Get the style without the price right here . She might love it.   You got a badass on your hands? This. Ever thought about getting your special woman a bag or a tote but feel like you have no idea what you're doing? Get this one. It's classic, fashionable, and notable.

So, as in years past, here's the deal- Some people (I'm sure you know at least one) are difficult when it comes to gifting. So to make it easy on you, I find random, nifty things that I think would make cool gifts and I share them with you. Buy one for yourself, buy one for a friend, buy one for a lover, buy none. I don't get any money from sharing these with you, I just think these things are cool and unique. Sound good?  Ok, so: Do you know a guy in your life that needs a quality timepiece without breaking the bank? Hamilton is one of America's heritage brands that has been around since 1912. Try this watch out for casual style that can easily pair with a tuxedo for a black-tie affair.  Have a baseball fan in your life? The New York Times has compiled baseball history books , by team, to make this year's gift giving easy. They're awesome, and they're beautiful. For that wine enthusiast in your life, check out this classic corkscrew that blend...

Ok, so: Shinola makes one of finest American timepieces in the world, from the heart of Detroit. Also, they aren't prohibitively expensive. Check out the Shinola Runwell for a unique timepiece with a great story.  Some people have immense pride in the place in which they live. Let them show it in a unique way with these coasters .  Apple isn't a perfect company. In fact, the design of the laptop chargers has been pretty abysmal over the years. Here's how you fit your charger behind something , because it sticks out way too far, otherwise. I mean, you can drink and pla...

5 things I have, that I love. Or, a last-minute gift guide.

Every so often, I get compliments and questions about some of the things I own. A lot of them are from people who want to purchase such things for people in their lives. So, this post is a quck reference point for such things. Also, this can serve some of you as a gift guide for presents for the man in your life. Enjoy! Coach Bleecker Card Case & Clip - Some people have wallet issues, and I used to be one of those people. I had a back-problem-causing, George Costanza-style folio in my back pocket. Luckily, I was led down a better path. That of a clean, simple card case with money clip. I love this thing. It's versatile and surprisingly durable. Also, it's a good deal, considering it's a quality leather good. Kenneth Cole Mens Electric Rain Boot - It's rains and it snows where I live. It's the midwest. So when I went searching for a rain boot that wasn't awful, I found something different from a designer I happen to like. Pair this with a heavy wool soc...
