Etsy Thursday: Holiday Gift Guide- For the men in your life!

I thought it would be fun to attempt some Etsy gift guides this year. I think it is important to support our fellow crafters and give some of our hard earned money to folks, not corporations. Oh sure, we have to give our money to big business most of the time, and there is nothing wrong with that. But it is also good to give monetary support to artisans and craftspeople who are making things just because they love to.

So to start, I thought I would pick the group that I consider to be the most difficult to buy for: MEN!

Due to my Etsy restriction, I found a ton of things for guys ages 16-45, but not so much for Grandpa or Dad. So if you have anyone in this age group you have to buy for, please consider the following:

For The Carpender, Wood Worker, or General Craftsman:


Silver and Wood Ring




Argyle Box




Wood Tie



Wood Soap




Woody Wallet



Wood Grain Belt





For The Zombie Afficianado:

Oh sure, Vampires get all the publicity these days, but did you know the real fear should be Zombies?


Zombie Messenger Bag




Zombie Sign



Global Domination Notebook




Zombie Scrub



Zombie Tshirt



Zombie Art


For The Guy Who Won't Grow Up:



Atari Duct Tape Wallet



Darth Vader Cuff Links


Lego Notebook


Space Invaders Soap


Is There A Doctor In The House?



Medical Messenger Bag




Vintage Anatomy Paperweight



Organ Diagram Tshirt




Anatomy Stickers


For The Foodie:




Kitchen Lab Coat


Retro Food Magnets




Masculine Spice Rack




Burger Oven Mitt




Tofu Sign



Apocalypse Recipe Cards
So that concludes the first Holiday Gift Guide here at Tales Of A Retro-Modern Housewife. I figure this will be the only gift guide with zombie scrub! Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed it and what other gift guides you would like me to blog about.

  13. Thanks for this, men are always the hardest to shop for. Especially if you want to buy handmade. Are there any kitchen gadgets cooking wares you covet? I wouldn't mind seeing your take on that!
