Santa Claus

Tim The Tool Man Taylor as Santa?! It’s like every 90s child’s dream come true to see him all plumb and jolly on the big screen. Too bad Al wasn’t in the film. Plus the little kid was too cute for words “I wanna go with youuuu Dad.” The film as a film isn’t bad either, the acting is decent, good story line, etc. It only starts to get bad when they insist on making a sequel…and then a sequel to that sequel. Good things never last.

Charlie Brown Christmas

“Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about??”

Reindeer Cufflinks

Christmas Story

Yes, yes you see it every year. Rapphieee! You’ll shoooot your eye out! Remember to drink your ovaltine?!? You remember these lines clear as last weekend and there’s one reason for that: it’s a classic film. Up there with like, It’s a Wonderful Life. Of course you get sick of it after a while, you dread the 150 repeats on Christmas Day, and for some reason, after all these years, it still gives you a weird little feeling in your belly. What’s with these “kid” films anyways?

Vintage Pistol Gun Cufflinks

Clueless

It’s not a holiday movie or anything, but totally worth watching again on Christmas. Brings back all the warm and fuzzy memories of 1995.

 

Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer

You know the little animation clay movie thingy, where Rudolph is some whiny, over-privileged deer and that weird Elf just wants to be a dentist. What elf wants to be a dentist? Another strange film, but let’s face it, it helped shape your childhood. There was a time in your young years that you even wanted to be a dentist too…

Home Alone 1 & 2

Enough said.

 

It’s a Wonderful Life

Oh Clarence! Mary! The children! Zuzu! How blind I’ve been! Ah, gotta love it.

 

Four Christmases

A surprisingly good new-ish holiday movie. We love it when the guys from Swingers reunite. We can all relate to at least some part of this film…

 

Elf

Will Ferrell is the man. The classic “Bro” film for the holidays.

 

National Lampoons Christmas

Oh Chevy Chase! What else can possibly go wrong on your Christmas?

Seven Holiday Gifts for Dad

 

 

I’m thinking of something….

….Thoughtful
1. Heartfelt Card
There’s nothing like an honest heartfelt card around the holidays. Just make sure it’s not too honest—you don’t want to go bringing up old tiffs and trysts with Papa Bear now. Tell him how much you appreciate him, how invaluable he is, and include a little personal memory that only you would remember.

…..Pocket Sized
2. Swiss Army Knife
Every man can use a new pocket knife. Think of the one dad already owns? Crusty old thing. Throw it out! Get him a new one! Of course one of the most trusted brands is The Swiss Army Knife and even comes with the little plastic toothpick for those unsightly “gum food”. Get the guy something handy.

Swiss Army Wenger Evowood, $59

….Functional
2. Cufflinks
Think about it—it’s quite simply a no brainer. He can wear them to work, golfing, formal dinners, meetings, at your child’s christening and graduation…they will come in handy very soon. We have a range of moderately priced cufflinks to fit your budget and Dad’s style (or lack there of) and we have a cufflink set for literally every Dad personality out there. Choose from Homer Simpson Cufflinks, Navy Cufflinks, or Hand Painted Animal Cufflinks

Navy Cufflinks, $49

King Charles Spaniel Cufflinks

…Fashionable
3. Tie
Duh. Every year. He needs another tie.

Black Super Stripe Silk Tie

…Handy Dandy
4. New Tool
Right before the holidays, tool kits and individual tools normally go on sale. Keep an eye out on the Sunday ads, online sales, free shipping deals, etc. A simple drill, or 10-in-1 kind of tool is always good.

Craftsman Evolv Evolv 18.0 volt Drill/Driver 11383, $39 at Sears

 

….Appealing to the Male Ego’s love of sound and projection
6. Surround Sound System for Home
Let’s face it—dad’s hearing is going a little haywire these days. (Think: “What? What?? What?? I can’t hear you! Turn up the TV!). Yes, his ears are going bad. But don’t worry! He can still enjoy his Monday night football and episodes of David Letterman with a surround sound system. And he doesn’t need to have a giant plasma fancy pants TV to go with it, you can simply use it with almost any set you already own. (Not sure about the rabbit ear kind of TV though…)

…Sporty
7. Tickets to a sports game in the New Year
What’s his favorite? Baseball? Soccer? Hockey? Pre-pay for tickets or give him an IOU for his favorite team’s sporting event.

Strange (Real) News Around The Globe

 

New science discoveries show that certain parts of Mars can be habitable…albeit underground.

Three percent of Mars has the right temperature and liquid pressures to sustain life. The Huffington Post reports that it would be similar to living in Antarctica, possible if appropriately dressed.

Robert Graham Dome Cufflinks

FOR RENT OR SALE: Large property, offering huge panoramic vistas, idyllic average temperature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. Habitable and available immediately. Full Disclosure: It’s actually underground — and it’s on Mars.

Man Arrested For Planking Around Town

“It’s official, even the police have had enough with this planking nonsense.

A Wisconsin municipal court convicted 19-year-old Alexander Hart of disorderly conduct on Tuesday after the Manitowoc man used social media to post photographs of himself engaged in the stiff-bodied prank at several locations around town.

The 10 photographs presented as evidence to the court show Hart lying across an ATM machine, boxed merchandise at a Wal-Mart, several lawn mowers, a Walmart checkout counter, a Lowes department store shelf, and a police car.

“Mr. Hart’s laying [sic] on the squad car is disruptive to the peace and good order of the community at large,” said Kathleen McDaniel, assistant city attorney, in a written court brief, the International Business Times reports.”—Report by the Huffington Post

 

Turkish Baths Banned For Inappropriate Behavior

Tekegraph UK Reports: “The North Yorkshire town’s Turkish Baths have offered single-sex sessions, as well as mixed sessions, since they opened back in 1897. They are one of only seven Victorian baths still in existence.

Turkish Flag, Hand Painted Coin

Harrogate Council announced last month that it would be ending the all-male sessions in January, blaming finances. But a councillor has now admitted covering up complaints about the antics of some bathers – saying she didn’t want to ruin the town’s good name.

Cabinet member for culture, Coun Caroline Bayliss said the authority had been forced to act following repeated allegations from members of the public, stretching back several years. We have unfortunately had complaints from other male users of the Turkish Baths.

“These are problems that are very difficult for our staff to deal with over a period of a number of years.”

Cat Inherits Millions of Euros

Italian black cat inherits 10 million euros after the death of his widowed, heiress owner.

He was originally an alley cat saved from the mean streets of Rome and now he’s a millionaire equipped with shares and a property empire which includes flats and houses in Rome and Milan and land in Calabria.

Black Curved Cat-eye Cufflinks

The Telegraphy UK reports: “Tommaso went from flea-bitten alley cat to “pussy galore” after being rescued by a lonely old lady, named only as Maria Assunta, who was married to a property tycoon but widowed at an early age. The couple had no children.

She became besotted with her pet but as her health began to fail, feared for his future.

So in November 2009 she wrote out a will in which she bequeathed her “entire estate” to the unknowing Tommaso.

“We’re convinced that Stefania is the right person to carry out the old lady’s wishes. She loves animals just like the woman she devoted herself to right up until the end.”

The nurse said she had no inkling that her charge was so rich. “I promised her that I would look after the cat when she was no longer around. She wanted to be sure that Tommaso would be loved and cuddled. But I never imagined that she had this sort of wealth. She was very discreet and quite, I knew very little of her private life. She only told me that she had suffered from loneliness a lot.”

Garfield Comic Strip Stamp Cufflinks

Tommaso now lives with his new owner and another cat in a house outside Rome. The address is being kept a secret, out of fears that the newly-enriched moggy will be besieged by fortune hunters and con men.” By Nick Squires, Rome

What a slick cat, right??

US Man Published Fake Obituary of Mother to Get Bereavement Pay at Work

“Scott Bennett, a US man, published a fake obituary for his living mother in a ploy to get paid bereavement time off work, police have alleged.

Relatives called The Jeffersonian Democrat newspaper in Pennsylvania after the obituary appeared to say the woman was actually alive and well.

The woman herself then visited the paper.

Police charged 45-year-old Bennett on Tuesday with disorderly conduct.

Newspaper editor Randy Bartley said he accepted the obituary in good faith after being unable to confirm the funeral arrangements at press time.

He told The Derrick newspaper on Friday that the woman was very understanding.”

What To Put In A Homemade Gift Basket

 

 

 

Fruit, Pie, or Baked Good

The classic fruits like oranges and apples, accompanied with a fresh baked apple or pumpkin pie. Nothing like a warm, toasty pie for your neighbor or family friends. Homemade biscottis, cookies, and muffins are relatively easy to whip up as well, plus you can make batches to put in other baskets.If you’re not a baking kind, local bakery is fine or just a nice jar of country jam or preserves will do!

Think Outside the Basket

Apple Pie Recipe

Orange Cufflinks

Chocolate

Who doesn’t love chocolate? At least someone in every family will positively love you for adding this gift basket essential. For extra quality, try to get/order chocolate that is from a single location/country. For instance chocolate from Guatemala, using local cocoa bean and sources make it extra special.

Cufflinks and Tie Bars

Commemorative tie bars and cufflinks from your family’s favorite NFL team will make their season. Don’t forget, there will be a football game on Christmas Day. We have all your NFL goodies and gifts at Cufflinksman:

Baltimore Ravens Tie Bar $34

Country Club Silk Knot Cufflinks

Coffee and Tea

Self explanatory. Any kind of freshly ground coffee from Starbucks, Marshalls, or Dean& Deluca. Tea from Teahaven or local store. Get tea in bags, unless you know they have a tea strainer in the cupboard.

Ribbons

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Festive ribbons make everyone happy.

Gardening Lotion

After all that holiday cooking, gift wrapping, and monkeying around the house, people need a little lotion. Plus skin gets cracked and dry during the winter season, so these miniature lotions make great gifts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An Ornament

It could be a homemade ornament from one of your children (or yourself…), a collector’s item, a picture frame, or a little memento from the city you live in! These add a personal touch to the generic gift basket, especially when it’s thoughtful and particular to who your giving it to.

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.

Pack of Twelve Pairs: Silk Knot Cufflinks *Under $50*

Vintage Onyx Eye Cufflinks *Under $50*

Stunning Abalone Triangle Cross Cufflinks

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…

Navy Dotted Silk Tie *Under $50*

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.
