Men – and the Economy
This storefront says it all, right? My friend Tara Riceberg of Tweak in Beverly Hills, CA, has a knack for making people smile. And you should shop with her, too, because she has great taste. She took me around the New York Gift Show in August to all the best purveyors of home goods, so I got a sneak peek of what her delicious shop would be offering for the holiday season. She just sent out her catalog this week, and I noticed in particular how well she identifies gifts for men, who are notoriously hard to shop for. Keep reading to see them all.
This bowl sits in front of Tara’s shop, always filled with peanuts. Never fails to draw rave reviews.
These shot glasses are perfect for a guy – decorative and useful in all the right ways.
Wouldn’t those shot glasses look great displayed on this Madison tray?
This Post-It-style notepad would improve the look of any desk.
Men aren’t into picking out individual serving bowls for cocktail parties, but this sleek, all-in-one organic lazy Susan does the job with its sleek, masculine styling.
The perfect salt and pepper shakers for a stylish bachelor pad. Awesome.
The Tom box and Phillipe tray by Italian artisan Oscar Maschera are each crafted from one piece of leather and tanned with vegetable extracts and no chemicals. A stunningly handsome alternative to a typical hard-edged box or tray.
Go to Tara’s site right here or her blog to see more holiday suggestions. Each gift comes beautifully pre-wrapped, so you don’t have to do anything other than order – and save the economy while you’re at it.
