Cool Gift of the Day
Monday, June 06, 2005
What it is:
Gift baskets, the phrase conjures images of frilly packaging and sweetly scented bath potions, or exotic gourmet delicacies resting gently on pastel tissue paper and wrapped in ribbons. When we think of gift baskets, manly is not a description we're likely to use. Then again we probably wouldn't say hip, or swinging cool either, but we said all of that when we saw the Men's Lounge gift basket for the first time. With a CD of hip tunes, a book of hot cocktails, some sweet (chocolate) cigars, playing cards, a cocktail shaker and some hot (and manly, trust us) sizzling bath salts, he'll be feeling ultra-cool in no time. Pretty soon he'll be sporting a smoking jacket and inviting all the cool cats to hang out at his pad. He'll love being the hippest guy in town, even if it is all in his mind, and you'll never think gift baskets are girly again.
Why we love it:
There's nothing like watching you husband, boyfriend or buddy dance around the house doing his Frank Sinatra impression and thanking the houseplants for being a beautiful audience.
Who we'd give it to:
Manly Men, Hep Cats and every guy that wishes he was one of the first two.
Where to get it:

GiftProse for an ultra-hip $80
