It was brought to my attention that a previous
gift guide for handmade items was a little heavy on girly things. Jewelly and flowery fripperies and the like. So I promised a less girly list, for the less girly (such as me) and for the truly blokey.
So here are some gifts ideas.
How about the stunning and unusual
Jord Wooden watch? I can vouch for their beauty (and their ability to keep time - important in a watch!) and I often get comments on the interesting concept of a wooden time piece. Available in a variety of woods and styles, with the straps sized for your arm prior to shipping. I
blogged about them here.
And one of my favourite websites,
Flamingo gifts. I personally adore the quirky items they stock and think that these would make perfect gifts for
men anyone.
I'll be honest - I'm in love with the squirrel! Absolute genius and functional too.
Or how about something from Not On The High Street, a company I've used before that always surprises me with ingenious and unusual things. I rather like these for example...
But don't ignore some other sites that look like they are designed for kids, I'm thinking especially of
Wicked Uncle who have some wicked gifts for the young at heart, things like...
And the Great Gift Company has some great things too, from small stocking fillers to big main gifts like ...

Portable Turntable for your retro vinyl |
or the rather fun

Twister Picnic Blanket |
and if all else fails and you resort to socks, don't make them boring socks! Check out the Sock Shop for such gems as super hero socks (complete with capes!) or even X-ray socks.
