a santa wishlist- for him

Here is part two of this weeks Santa Wish List. This one is for the dude in my life- Mr O. If only we had enough dough that i could treat you to a $500 man ax. Actually come to think of it I'd rather pool that into a weekend away in the woodsy woods somewhere. Nevertheless- some manly goods to make you smile.

1. Whiskey- Nothing says a mans man drink like a good ol bottle of whisky. This small batch distillery based in NY has great branding and spicy spirits.

2. Apron- Not just any apron, but a great woodworking apron handmade locally, for tough cuts and the odd meat roast on the barbeque in the winter months. A little blood never hurt anyone. Available at Union Wood Co.

3. Bike Wine Rack- for those summer picnics when the bag is just too full of farmers market goods to fit in that bottle of good stuff. This wine bar rack is ingenious and so subtle.

4. Chocolate- Husband and wife team who just launched Beta 5 Chocolates is creating quite a buzz around town in the decadent foodie circuit. Great name and I love the branding of these bars.

5. Man Tote- Ok, in all honesty, I would use this bag 90% of the time. But it could double as a great day bag to lug work gear and lunch wares to and from the ol 69' ford. Available at Mr Lees General Store.

6. Rainboots- Cheesy I know but she needs some... and so does he. I like how lightweight these are for trogging around in the slush or rain in. And Natives are locally made and available at Walrus.

7. Cologne- Last time we were window shopping at Old Faithful we came across this amazing smelling cologne. The name just fits the bill "Burning Barbershop" Neither O or I are a huge perfume fan, but this one is so subtle and old worldly it stuck with us for days. yummm.

8. Vintage Map- A little second hand shop hunting is always a fun adventure. This year I'm on the hunt for some inexpensive DIY type wall art for O's new wood-shop that he is making in the new year. I'm thinking some antlers, a plywood inspiration board and some vintage maps could fit the bill. Plus he can pin all the places we have been in the world and dream of trips ahead.

9. Bow Tie- I love these quirky bow ties from Something is Hiding in Here. Such a fashion statement for winter party's.

10. Ax- A true woodsman needs a good tool. These famous axes come in a range of sizes and are an investment for a well stoked fire.
