He’s proud of his place at the lake. Or maybe the garage functions as the unofficial hunting lodge. Either way, here is a rustic version of the popular pub signs. One of these would be a great gift for men that enjoy the outdoors.
These Personalized Cabin signs come in the vintage version (shown) or rectangle. Personalize with a name, location, and year for that extra special touch. Choose from a moose, duck, trout, oak leaf, spruce, or a stag. The design is printed directly on the base for lasting quality. Click here for more information
Shhh. Here we have a rare opportunity to observe the Homer Simpson in his native habitat. By bringing one Moe’s Tavern into your home, a Homer will move in and serenade you each and every hour with its trademark “Whoo-hoo”. Brilliant.
A fun addition to his game room or garage. Gotta love cuckoo clocks. Click here for more information
This month in Details magazine is perhaps the greatest shaving article I’ve read. It gives precise detail of what steps need to be taken for the perfect shave. I found some helpful tips here that I didn’t know and have already improved my technique. Believe it or not, there is one instance where is is alright to shave against the grain. You’ll have to read to find out when. Click here to read the article.
Our friends at The Grooming Lounge are mentioned in the feature as one of the best professional shaves in the country. So, if you live in the Maryland, DC, or Northern Virginia area, you should stop in.
For the rest of us, don’t forget about the “Greatest Shave Ever” Kit you can get for home use. This is the stuff that I personally use and highly recommend. In fact, you can read my product review of this item here.
So, turns out that April Fools jokes from years ago still work. My post earlier about the Real Super Mario Brothers 1up Mushroom is proof. Turns out that the product in question is actually a classic April Fools joke from 2006. When you try to order the item at Thinkgeek.com, you get a nice “GOTCHA” page. Beautiful.
Thank you so much to my new friend Alex at Neatorama for letting me know that I had been had. Won’t be the last time, I guess.

If this thing works the way it claims, then it qualifies as “UNBELIEVABLE”. If your guy is a lover of video games, nostalgic about his youth, or just gets excited about cool stuff, than this could be his perfect gift (plus it’s under $10).
This kit gives him everything he needs to actually grow a 1up mushroom. For all of you that actually have been on a desert island for the last twenty years, it’s from the Super Mario Brothers video games.
He actually plants, in soil, some spores, waters them, feeds them, and keeps them in a cool dark place, and in a couple of weeks, well, what you see is what you get.
I have no idea how this is accomplished. Perhaps there is a highly accomplished “mushroom spore artist” in the far corners of the world. Either way, I find this item terribly exciting. Imagine your man giggling like a school girl as he checks his crop. Click here for more information

We got a couple of submissions this time. Please take a minute to check out Kelby and Zach’s thoughts. This Blog carnival runs twice a month, assuming we get submissions. If you have a blog and want to participate, just write a post about the world of men’s gifts. It can be anything. Use the link at the bottom to submit it; it’s that easy!
Kelby Carr presents Father’s Day Gifts Dads Really Want posted at Tiki RSS feed for the wiki pages, saying, “Father’s day is quickly approaching and before any of you women out there start shopping for gifts, I hope you will read this. I know I’ll probably get some backlash for this and, it’s possible I might deserve a little bit of it. But I know the fathers of the world will agree with me, maybe not vocally, but in their hearts. Here are Father’s Day gift ideas that don’t suck.”
Zack Johnston presents Desk-top Beach Vacation (a great Father’s Day gift!) posted at IdeaNerd, saying, “A great homemade gift!”

Does he like the look of a grandfather clock but it doesn’t really fit in the décor? Yeah, I’ll take one grandfather clock, hold the grandfather.
Only 2 ¾” tall and 14 ¼” wide, it is a very understated piece for the unique individual. Handmade, so the stain will be unique on each one. Click here for more information
