Men Are Hard To Shop For!

It was such a beautiful, crisp, windy and cool day for us here in Florida. A sunny 68 degrees this afternoon. I saw so many out and about walking and jogging along as I passed my local park. What better day to finally get out and do some necessary shopping. I caught myself looking at a singing Christmas tree. Goodness, it isn’t even Halloween or Thanksgiving yet, and it’s Christmas all around me!

People were all up and down the aisles looking at decorations, lights and gift sets. I suppose it is good to start early and beat the crowds when you think about it. My mother-in-law seems to have all her Christmas shopping done by Halloween! I’m one of those people that when I notice something that someone would like between August and December, I just pick things up here and there. It’s also less painful on the wallet than doing it all at once.

I do the majority of my shopping online. There’s nothing worse than standing in a long line and noticing that the cashier is not in any hurry to shorten it! I swear I am sooo spoiled! You can just add things to cart and check out whenever saving you time and gas. I think men have to be the hardest to shop for. It’s easier when you know they collect something. Many men like to collect knives. Even if they’re not knife collectors, when they receive one of these puppies as a gift, they’ll sure want to be.

The butterfly knife is a really unique knife. The 5BL, seen here:

happens to be my favorite. The photo doesn’t even do it justice. This is a gorgeous knife. There are many other butterfly knives that fit the bill, though!

My father always had a pocket knife on him. I can’t tell you how many times that thing came in handy! Especially when we were on vacation or on a road trip. I used to always get my father a knife for Christmas. I think he got the biggest kick out of the pen knife.

This is a really unique knife. It looks just like a fancy pen that you can clip right onto your pocket, and if you are ever in a duress situation, it’s an inconspicuous self defense mechanism. Nobody would ever surmise it was a knife in disguise! Have to love these clever knives.
