I want pretty candles and fruity rum. I’ll always be happy if people get me pretty candles and fruity rum.
And fuck flasks. It’s impossible to tell when their full except when they overflow. I have one and I hate it.
Glass flasks are superior.
You could use a measuring cup and a funnel. Fill the flask with water, then pour it out into the empty measuring cup to figure out its volume. Then only fill it with that much whiskey or whatever
Only works if it’s empty, or you measure/record pourings
Honestly as a man, i’m thrilled if someone gives me flowers. I never get flowers. I like flowers. They look nice, they make a room comfortable. Heteronormativity sucks.
Best I can do is a bear-carcass golf bag.
Preach bro preach
If a woman gave me flowers I’d be over the moon
The knife flavored whiskey can also be lathered into a foam to shave your balls with. Your man balls.
Man balls because I am a cis man who is not trans and therefore doesn’t have lady balls
Or get them a Tungsten cube. Every man wants a Tungsten cube.
They’re absurdly overpriced, but I wonder how quickly you’d make your money back if you bought a big one and had men pay a fee to mess with it for a few minutes.
and had men pay a fee to mess with it for a few minutes.
This sounds more sexual than I think you intended.
It’s reverse Excalibur. If you can get your sword into the cube, you become king.
It is imperative that the sword remains unharmed.
It’s heavy, so they might get fatigued faster than they’d expect.
That would be cool… And heavy too.
Heavy and hard!
I would love a tungsten cube and I want think sheets of titanium so I can burn them because turns out titanium burns
The sheer number of flammable metals out there is a little scary lol It’s not that many, but it’s more than most people realize.
Living in an oxygen-rich environment has its drawbacks lol
I’m certain that all metals are flammable if you try hard enough, because all it takes is oxidation. Quite a number of them can burn in a self-sustaining manner in terrestrial conditions, though, mostly provided if and only if you manage to have enough surface area of the stuff available in one place. Powdering them usually works for that. Or, if you’d like to watch some iron burn, a fun science fact is that you can light a wad of regular old steel wool like the kind you’d buy at the grocery store as if it were a cotton ball. The finer sized the better, and you should probably also do this outside.
My admittedly not great understanding of it was along the lines of some metals are too good at conducting heat and would basically put their own fires out in most circumstances. I do not know if that is correct
Maybe, but I can tell you that copper’s thermal conductivity is better than e.g. gold, and copper can absolutely burn in open air if the particle sizes are small enough. Aluminum will too, of course.
I’m not about to try it with my meager supply of gold. The stuff is damned expensive at the moment.
William Osman made the tungsten cube so expensive. It was like $2k when he did his video wrecking shit with it. Now they’re asking $10k for the 3 inch cube.
I respect the hustle, but damn.
Still, the 1 cm model is like $50 and would still be absurdly heavy for its size, even if it only weighs 19¼ grams.
Might be worth it to find yourself a bunch of old incandescent lightbulbs and get the filaments out instead.
You know how to man, man.
I want one.
The flannel is imbued with sandalwood scent…
But… I like sandalwood. Also sage and cedar (even tho I’m allergic to real cedar)
Can’t stand those whiskey, smoke, leather, etc “manly” smells.
SAME! Just find it funny that those are the limited selection of “manly” smells.
I prefer floral scents but my wife is allergic.
She’s also allergic to whatever they use for a lot of the “manly” scents so I’m limited to whatever we discover she can be around without sneezing.
We need real manly scents like:
Drunk Tank
Pack-a-Day Smoker
Day Old Beer
Warm Energy Drink
And…
Aqua Velva
Coincidentally, my favorite cologne has notes of violet. And sandalwood…
Love floral scents!
There are some gifts that are good for a lot of people regardless of their interests, but these guides never seem to know any of them and it’s annoying.
For instance everywhere cold that I’ve lived, people would love another heated blanket, even if they already have one. Or really just any blanket, can’t have too many. Also a good evaporative humidifier is something everyone needs and no one has. It took me 15 years to buy a real carpet cleaner for myself, just check their house while you’re over to see if there’s one lying around. Consumable stuff is great because even if they already have it they can use more soon.
Guides ignore this kind of thing and pretty much exclusively recommend stuff that most people wouldn’t like due to tastes. “Get them this clip-on book light!” but they only read on tablets, or they already have a light because that problem needed immediate solving, or they simply don’t like the kind you bought because there are so many.
Anyway the guides are terrible, but they don’t have to be.
Often I don’t need specific items. I just need some new concepts to get my mind out of a rut of the same old gift ideas. I don’t want the kind of friends who would like to receive monogrammed anything.
Books are the ultimate gift form.
I bet the side of that flask has little holders for your cigars and beard trimmers too.
That’s last year’s model. This year’s model includes a beard.
