What To Buy Your Male Buddy For Christmas

 

 

What To Buy Your Male Friend For Christmas

So you can’t buy your buddy a 42 inch flat screen plasma television. We understand. But he’ll still be your boy (or your uncle, brother, nephew, cousin, grandpa…) if you get him something else. Something more along the lines of…affordable. After all, you do have 10 other people to buy things for, so here are seven no-brainer, easy gifts to keep the Merry going…

A Video Game
What man doesn’t love sitting in front of his flat screen at home aimlessly wandering around in a virtual world? First you have to find out which game console he has. Secondly, you need to make sure you get him a game he likes: does he like thriller gamess? Mysteries? War stuff? Old school Trivia?

Which video game will you get him? What console does he have?

Cufflinks

And of course one of the easiest gifts to give is the traditional cufflink. Every man, no matter what age, can use a new pair of cufflinks. Here are some simple “everyman” cufflinks under $50. So yes, they’ll be perfect for Uncle Joe, Brother Thomas, and Grandpa Stevie.

A Poker Set

Who wouldn’t want a poker set?? Why every gamlin’ man south of Canada! Or even in Canada. And everywhere else…The point is, an at-home poker set is good for the guy who likes to have friends and family over for a game of cards and some whiskey. Or your beer-drinking college-living-in-the-dorms nephew.

Ties

At Cufflinksman we have this season’s hottest ties for men. With almost every color in the rainbow, we have designer Daniel Dolce Silk Italian ties for an affordable price. Most of them are under $50 and sure to please: Black Polka Dot Tie, Golden Rod Tie, and more…

Tools

Every man needs a tool set or another tool to add to his already over-grown set. The good thing about tools is they can be passed down. They don’t go out of style, last a lifetime (or two), and are the perfect nostalgic, useful, masculine holiday gift.

 

 

Bags from Duluth Trading Company

High end and moderate end, Duluth Trading Company gives us yet another impeccably made bag. The AWOL bag may not be cheap, but they use exquisite leather and precise stitching, ensuring this bag will last as long as your tool set.

 

Music

And when all else fails, or even if it doesn’t, get your favorite bro some music. Give the gift of music “new-style” via itunes gift card or set him up with some vintage records from his favorite band, a vintage mix tape, or simply burn him a CD of your favorite tracks.

America’s Most Haunted Places

 

 

People always wonder: are ghosts real? Paranormal TV presents a very interesting series on America’s Most Haunted Sites. Some of the stories are pretty eerie, so sit back and relax…if you can.

Manhattan Bistro, New York, New York
Manhattan Bistro, located at the ultra-trendy section of Soho at 129 Spring Street, is a French restaurant known for its famous ghost Juliana Elmore Sands. She was reportedly killed in the building in 1799 when her body was thrown into a well in the basement. Her spirit is often referred to as the “Ghost of Spring Street,” and can be seen as a vapor rising from the kitchen floor, occasionally scattering dishes and throwing ashtrays.

Moundsville Penitentiary; Moundsville, West Virginia
Moundsville Penitentiary, located in West Virginia, has a history of being one of the most violent prisons in the United States. Around 1,000 inmates have made their way to this location and were holed up in cramped quarters. Many of the prisoners were hung or executed in the electric chair, but some were murdered by their fellow inmates, especially due to the excessive riots. Built over 100 years ago and closed in 1995, the tortured ghosts of the inmates are thought to be still trapped behind the jail bars, and visitors report to have seen and heard them on tours.

Waverly Hills Sanatorium Louisville, Ky.
Legend has it that this former Kentucky hospital is haunted by the ghosts of some of the thousands of ill-treated tuberculosis patients who died here in the mid-1900s. One of the most famous features is the “body chute,” which was used to transport corpses from the hospital to the bottom of the hill.

Stanley Hotel: Estes Park, Colo.
Staff at the 1909 hotel—which inspired Stephen King’s novel The Shining but is not where the 1980 movie was filmed—have heard parties in an empty ballroom and music from an untouched piano. Ghost hunters also report seeing a table jump two feet in the air.

The Myrtles Plantation; St. Francisville, LA

1796 plantation was reportedly location of a Native American burial site, which might explain some of the horrible happenings. Chloe, a slave-ghost who is alleged to have had a passionate romance with a rich Myrtle son but whose ear was cut off when she was discovered eavesdropping. Apparently she baked a poisonous birthday cake which killed the wife and two children. Ewww. Creepy.

The 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa, Eureka Springs, ARK

FROM their official website: “These famous spirits include Michael, the Irish stonemason who fell to his death while building the hotel in 1885, Theodora, the cancer patient of the Dr. Baker hospital days who seems to need help finding her room key, Norman Baker in his white suit and lavender shirt, Morris the cat, a mystery patient in a white nightgown who appears in the luxury suites at the foot of your bed or any of the innumerable “spirits” who have been captured by the thousands of guests and hundreds of thousands of images captured while roaming the halls of this world famous hotel.

 

Investigated by the Sci-Fi Channel’s Ghost Hunters, the hotel has also been featured on NBC’s Today Show, A&E’s Haunted Road Trips, USA Today and most recently the Bio Network’s My Ghost Story, the hotel continues to gain popularity as the legend continues.

In 2011, a new mystery has surfaced with a sighting believed to be world renown dancer Irene Castle seen at the hotel by a young visitor. Castle retired to Eureka Springs and passed at the local hospital. Read more on this celebrity ghost discovered in “America’s Most Haunted Hotel.””
