Take (to) A Shower

I know we hate baby showers, men.

But if you absolutely, positively must go....

Why not be the star, your girl will love you for it.

Female peer envy is one of the strongest aphrodisiacs on the planet.

The way to achieve your goal is by bringing, not only the best gift, but the gift no one else even knew they craved.

That gift is an Hermes baby basket. Starring the hand-made, hand-stuffed, hand-sewn horsey you see above, named Hermy.

The horse is $890, but I consider that a small price to pay for being named Godfather of the child to a person you have never met.

Build you basket HERE. 

Results may vary.

A Woman Every Man Should Know

Mrs. John L. Strong

Ever wonder why your parties are called "parties" and not "affairs?"

Ever wonder why your best friends holiday cards sit on the center of the mantle at every household you know of.

Your friend, as should all men, takes stationary seriously. 

Mrs. John L. Strong will swing the balance back in your direction. 

Move over bacon, here comes Sizzlean!

Go HERE to learn more.

Bedat No. 8

Grow up and stop wearing what rappers tell you to like.

Bedat SCREAMS mature, sexy and heirloom all in one.

This piece is nice but a discerning few will cop the rose gold version.

See it HERE.

Buy Her What She Really Wants This X-mas

Yes I know you've heard there is nothing like the look on a woman's face after receiving a teal box from Tiffany. But this must be the 3rd or 4th year her gift has come from the Sterling Silver room.

Haven't you started to suspect why she has been asking you so many questions about EBay?

Van Cleef & Arpels is much more rare and classy (you stay that way San Diego!).

Start with a pair of these earrings from the Alhambra Vintage Collection. Unlike everything else you bought her so far, she will pass these on to your daughter.

Buy them HERE.

Need a Watch?

Go visit horomundi!

This is the best watch site I have found in a while. Learn from the trade, take part in forums and help get that Armitron your dad bought you for eighth-grade graduation off your wrist so the girls at work can stop laughing behind your back.

On second thought, if you are actually the owner of this watch and it is still in working condition, give me a call. The early-eighties are about to become HUGE again.
