Gifts for men.....

[MaC]

As usual I'm struggling, but I have to buy Christmas gifts for six men.

I'm getting there, but I'm still coming up short on my list.

I've been eyeing up bedside charging dock/organisers, like this one....

Have any of you got a better one ? a better idea of what to do with all that stuff from pockets that needs kept handy ?

Are you handy with leather? This looks interesting from Creative Awl (no affiliation).

Fitbit?

I have been messing round with ChatGTP - usually it is pretty impressive. But when I asked it for a xmas gift suggestion for a 60yr old woman who likes Opium perfume. It suggested an Opium perfume gift pack; which I think I could worked out for myself

Have you tried Rohypnols?

Are they like fruit pastilles?

These popped up as a suggestion the other day.

Oooh, cool!

Scroll to the price - er, nope!!

It's obviously something folks are looking at.
This is the simple one I'd been eyeing up as a stocking filler.

No, it only uses eighteen letters, but it has (forgotten the word for the wee things over consonants) consonants with ???? above them too.

Diacritics

I know of it as lenition, but I don't think that's the actual word for the wee symbols, I'm pretty sure that's the word for the result of them.
The changed sound, I mean.
A strac with a wee stroke to the right....which my keyboard won't give me at all. It'll do the å though, but that's no use here.

I need one of these in my life….

Oh yes. Mind you, Braverman's a Buddhist, so that might put me off a bit.

I wonder what her next re-incarnation will be. It's difficult to get much lower than a Tory politician.

She will be born in a small rubber boat heading for refuge in a fascist dictatorship that want's her dead to reduce the numbers of immigrants.

.... what to do with all that stuff from pockets that needs kept handy ?

 

[noddy]

Trying to think of something for myself that isn't totally a utility. A bike lock occurred to me - that's the level of imagination I have available to exercise at the moment. Usually I buy a little folding knife. That's become a bit of a ritual. I like the Manly/Boker Wasp in S90V. But the reason I know this is because I already have one. Could buy a green one, I suppose.

What do you buy the man who has everything when you are the man who has everything. I do actually require skis, but they are mortgage-level outlay when what I am after is something to find minor comfort in during another bloody Christmas

 

[Winnet]

A bottle of spirits then.

Real Steel Stella Premium

The Real Steel Stella is a modern interpretation of the slip joint from Poltergeist works. The Real Steel Stella Premium is indeed no. 1, top of the tree, a Real Steel gold medal winner!

Very pleasing half stop (2/3rds stop), and a superb snap opening and closing. In G10 at much friendlier prices, but that tumbled Ti is something else. Clip is a delight too.

Pocket Stuff Holder Order a few and get it by Xmas. BIG Money though!!

MaxP Cordura Tray Might be a little too tactical. Don't be surprised if he starts coming towards the house from the shed blacked up with a knife between his teeth.

I know it’s all over but just saw this at thoight it might suit….
