lets talk about these whiskey stones for a sec.. for those men who enjoy their single malt scotch.. literally on the “rocks” i think is such a cool idea! i first found out from my hubby when he listed on his stocking stuffer “want-list”.. and he is a scotch lover!

the soapstone cubes were designed to chill the spirits without diluting them (as ice would), and these natural soapstones are used to chill drinks due to its softness (and won’t scratch the glass) and its unique ability to retain temperature for extended periods of time.

simply chill the stones, rinse with water after use and let it air dry.. and then chill again!

so my first “gift ideas for him under 100″ item is whiskey lover set by Teroforma ($60) which includes 2 mouthblown Avva tumblers (dishwasher safe) and 6 Whisky Stones. love this item! you can find them on the teroforma.com site itself or on amazon. For my fellow Canadian fashionistas, your local Indigo/Chapters – and yes I like to read.

and now onto other nifty gift ideas!

1. four elements of shaving giftset from Art of Shaving ($100) - good for his skin and everyone wins! aaaaaand he will actually enjoy shaving!
2. Tom for men by Tom Ford EDT ($60)
3. Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani EDT ($59)
4. L’Homme by Yves Saint Laurent EDT ($75)
5. formal kingston suspenders by Trafalgar ($80) – to channel the inner “Gekko” in them
6. dots pocket square by Duchamp ($85) – fun and versatile!

the alternative splurge item to Art of Shaving is Hommage, but some men even think Art of Shaving is much and i think their price is right. all men should enjoy their coiffing time as much as ladies do. they are in for a real treat!
