Rare Bird Finds

Men's Aftershave/Cologne

This aftershave has a short, interesting list of ingredients, including vodka, witch hazel, rum, aloe vera oil and fragrance oils. It sounds pretty intense but it's available in some lovely sounding scents (vanilla sandalwood, anyone?) and it comes in a flask, which is just genius. $20 at Dirty Deeds Soaps.

Game of Thrones Shot Glass Set

I have read all the books and I know the series is H-O-T!  I found this set of etched Game of Thrones shot glasses which are way cool.  Each one is etched with a house sigil from the books/show.   This set of 6 is $30 at Geeky Glassware.

Bond Together Steampunk Wedding Band

I like the look of this unusual wedding band. It's got a sort of patchwork feel and that works well with the artist's vision;

“...in a relationship you learn, give and take from each other, exchanging things and rearranging them all again together, to find the right balance as a couple and forming a perfect bond.”

It's a well thought out idea, come to life in sterling silver. About $336.57 for the sterling. Other metals available at Alludio. 

Buzz Lightyear Messenger

This is a one and done situation. There's only one of these cute Buzz Lightyear messengers available AND it's on sale. But this shop does have a lot of other cute bags. This one caught my eye, however, because it's quite understated and would certainly be appropriate for the adult fan. It's rather "undercover" in that way. SO if you've got your own Space Ranger that would get get a kick out of this one, better get cracking. It's $7 at Four Bees Embroidery.

The Park Fences Are Failing

I don't know why I have such love for Jurassic Park, but I do. And I kind of love this poster too. The T-Rex paddock is now unarmed, be careful or you might be unarmed too...and unlegged...and unheaded...Starting at $17.99 at Imagekind. 

Mustache Banner

I have to confess that the appeal of the mustache that is not actually on a dude's face is kind of lost on me. I like a mustachioed man, but I am not sure I get it as a design element. Until now, that is. This spiffy mustache banner would be a great detail at any old-timey sort of party, perfect for the newly legal boy, cute at a baby shower for a wee laddie, and fun for the hipstery chick who loves the mustache. $9.99 at Postscripts.

The Big Lebowski - Abide - White Russian Pin

It took me a second when I saw this pin. And now I see it in my dreams. Perfect for any fan of The Big Lebowski but particularly good for those who also enjoy a beverage. $15 at ShellyMarz.

Cheddar Bill Holder

Yesterday I posted a nice looking monogrammed wallet for a very reasonable price. It's a perfectly good wallet, but if you know someone who really needs the brand recognition, there is this Cheddar Bill Holder from Jack Spade. It's awesome and it's on sale, but it's still a little pricey, so if that is of concern, I am betting that you are clever enough to find a way around it. And if it's not a concern, well go for the designer, by all means! $62 at Jack Spade.

Fun Guy T-shirt

Oh, c'mon! Of course it's a terrible joke, but there's something about that adorable little mushroom that makes me laugh. And if you know a fun guy, he might like this fungi too! You do have a choice of colors, but I do think he looks fab on that mushroomy sort of tan. $12.99 at My PersonaliTs.

Dragon Beer Mug

Now, I've seen all kinds of beer steins, glasses and the like but I have NEVER, EVER seen one quite like this.   If you're a Game of Thrones fan or just a fantasy fan AND a beer lover then you need to get yourself a Dragon Beer Mug like this Snarlytooth one.   They all range from $40-$50 but this one I've shown is $50. Get yours at Chischilly Pottery.

Monogrammed Leather Wallet

It seems like every guy I know is always looking for a new wallet. Here's a nice monogrammed one. It's made of leather and the monogram is "burned" into the leather, so it won't rub off.And it's available in several fonts, so you get the look you like! $22.50 at Killorglin Creations.

Personalized Wooden 10 Pin Set

Looking for that special keepsake baby shower gift that will last for generations? This ecofriendly, classic, wooden and personalizable 10 pin bowling set is sure to delight any mum-to-be, and can double as a lovely room decoration (think: free standing wall shelf). Too cute. $45 at Keepsake Toys

Bike Planter

Add greenery to your bike rides with these bike planters. Works best with succulents and air plants. Comes in a variety of colors. $45 at Wearable Planter

Felix the Fox Tea Towel / Cloth Kit

This shop carries tea towels that can also be cut up and made into awesome stuffies. My fave is the fox but there are plenty of other designs. $15.50 at

Knitted Daddy Doll (with Baby!)

How often do you get to see a mini's doll that shows daddy doing the parenting? Thrilled to not see yet another plastic doll pushing a stroller, this hand knitted daddy doll can be purchased wearing a sling or a wrap. Love. Go Daddies! $42 at Freja Toys

Vampire - LEGO Monster Fighter Alarm Clock

For the horror fan who loves LEGO and the LEGO fan who loves horror. And the guy who just can't seem to get out of bed, there is the LEGO Monster Fighter Alarm Clock.  He doesn't sparkle in the sunlight and you probably won't fall in love with him, but he may just make your morning a little brighter...er...darker? Wait...would you have to be on the night shift to use this guy? I don't know, I just think he's kind of cute...$34.95 at Neato Shop.

Bakeball Bat Rolling Pin

 

Love baseball? Love to bake? Now you can celebrate your two loves in one rolling pin. Shaped like a baseball bat, but suitable for rolling out dough, make the most all American apple pie ever! $31.49 at Perpetual Kid.

Owls Card Case

Sometimes a wallet is too much. Maybe you have a tendency to store every receipt and business card, just in case. Maybe your pants don't have big enough pockets. Whatever the case, this handy...case may just be the solution. Digitally printed with a nifty owl patten on vegetable dyed leather, it's only $24 at Fluffy Co.

"Cantina Royale" T-Shirt

I was searching for something James Bond related since this year is the 50th anniversary of Bond (they'll be doing a big hoopla at the Oscars) and I'm a huge Bond fan (especially when Daniel Craig takes his shirt off).   Instead of straight up Bond, I found this great Bond/Star Wars combo item.  Loving this Cantina Royale t-shirt that has a silouhette of Han Solo but with a Bond feel to it.  Awesome!  $15.99 at Tee Minus 24.
