Gift Guide

The Gifts Your Mom Actually Wants

Mother’s Day is May 12th, so it's time to start thinking about your gift options. But instead of thinking of Mom as the lady to whom you owe a phone call, think of her as an actual person. Is she the type of woman who appreciates a new perfume or the indulgence of a cult-favorite French teapot? Is she the active type always on the move? Or does she adore (yet never treats herself to) the finer things like quality towels? The key is to think of the way she lives and then find something that would suit her. It's been a tough year ... let's treat our mothers to something special. Here are our tried-and-true gift ideas for every type of mom on your list.

Get a Smarter Beard Trimmer

When was the last time you upgraded your beard trimmer? If you're looking to streamline your grooming tools, now's the time to treat yourself to this multi-groomer from Panasonic. Unlike other brands that may come with numerous complicated attachments, this trimmer includes just three essential attachments and then the adjustable trim dial offers 39 settings that allows you to simply set the desired trimming length. You can plug it in or charge it for cordless use and use it on your head and beard, slide up the precision trimmer to clean up your sideburns and mustache or use the attachments for full-body trimming. A rubberized grip provides comfort and ensures safe trimming while the washable blades clean with just a quick rinse. Why now? Because you can get it for 24% off.

Stuff We Swear By

An Affordable Bison Leather Belt
*** Yellow Span - Making the Case ***

I bought this belt a while back but then moved and it was buried behind some clothes I never wear. Then I rediscovered it and was so glad that I did. I pulled it on and suddenly was getting compliments and questions about it. I love telling people it’s from Orvis, of all places. The outdoor outfitter beloved by our fathers actually stocks a really well-made Western belt without the fashionable premium price. This is the real deal, cut from genuine bison leather and hand-stitched in California with stainless-steel-plated solid brass hardware. Plus, this one is a little more subtle so it feels a little less “trendy,” you know?
