I’m not one to wait for the first snowfall to start thinking about holiday gifting. Santa’s workshop runs all year, baby. But if you’re a procrastinator, I have the ultimate hack for you: Bespoke Post.
When I think of Bespoke Post, I think of quality and originality. Those are the only two boxes that need to be checked when I consider gifts for the men in my life.
I became a member of Bespoke Post so I could get my hands on top-notch kitchen wares at an amazing deal—$49 flat rate for boxes when you’re a member, versus $70 if you’re not. But, you! You should join now so you can let those perks and deals sprinkle down on you as you squirrel away gifts for the most important—yet hardest-to-buy-for—people in your orbit.
Ready to see what I have in the works for my guys?
For my husband: Marcellin Cocktail Smoking & Infusion Kit
Maybe you know a wizard of cocktails. This cocktail smoking kit is an obvious must-have for their home bar, and a safe bet because they likely don’t already have one.
This infusion kit is just plain cool. It looks nice on the shelf when not in use, it’s really exciting to use, and it turns a simple lowball into something special…really, it makes a quiet night at home exciting.
The kit comes with a wooden base, a gorgeous glass cloche to trap the smoke in, and a snazzy torch with an adjustable flame. You’ll source the butane and wood chips—or, Bespoke Post offers hickory wood chips as an add-on for $25.
For my dad: Line of Trade Canvas Weekender Bag
The cliché that dads are the hardest to buy for is true. I use holidays as a chance to upgrade what my dad already owns. This canvas weekender bag is my next move.
My dad wears round tortoiseshell glasses and blazers with classy sneakers. This durable cotton canvas bag fits his look. The design is drawn from the type of bags stonemasons used for their tools back in the day, a neat bit of history. This duffel is so durable, it’s definitely built to last.
Your gift recipient will appreciate this roomy bag and its structured opening that gapes wide for packing ease. It has an inner pocket for a book or laptop—up to 15” if your laptop is slim—quality leather handles, and an optional shoulder strap. My dad is going to look like such a stylish traveler. Elevated, indeed.
For my brother: Wren Insulated Dry Bag Cooler
If a dry bag keeps things dry, and a cooler keeps things cold, how can one bag do both? Good design. This 25L dry cooler bag is made from durable PVC with handles all over. The insulated bubble core is where the drinks go, and it’s removable when you arrive at your destination—which is obviously going to involve water.
I know kayakers and open-water swimmers who would appreciate that this thing rolls down to be water-tight, and even floats. My brother is a lakeshore guy, and always brings refreshments, so I know he’s going to love the dual use of this bag and how effective it is at keeping sand off his valuables.
The one-shoulder sling with a built-in bottle opener is a thoughtful detail that is typical of Bespoke Post.
Everyone in the room benefits from Bespoke Post
Even though I’m an organized holiday shopper, my guys are never the first to be checked off the list. But using my Bespoke Post membership for holiday gifting, they’ll never NOT be.
Bespoke Post boxes cost less with a membership than without one, but what’s more: the quality items they carry usually end up being offered at a lower price tag than the products’ actual retail value. I’m so pumped to be taking care of my beloveds with gifts that are unique, well-made, and guaranteed to wow them.
