We hear a lot about hostess gifts, but what about gifts for our fine gentlemen hosts? These days it’s just as likely that they have been the ones slaving over a hot stove, perfecting culinary delights for us this holiday season. So how do we show our gratitude?
For the Whiskey Lover:
If you know a man that likes his scotch but you’re like me and have no clue on how to pick a good one out, why not pick up these whiskey stones from Uncommon Goods for him to try instead? He can have his drink literally on the rocks with these cool cubes made out of soapstone that will keep his drink cold without watering it down. Just pop them in the freezer and the flavor-free and odorless stones keep his drink as cool as he is. $19.50 – 58.00

For the Beer Guy:
I’m trying not to generalize here but guys like beer. Instead of bringing a 6 pack, why not make him work for it and give him a home brew kit? With this brew kit from Williams-Sonoma he can play out his mad chemist fantasies while brewing up something he can brag about at the next dinner party. $39.95

For The Grill Master/Meat Lover:
Instead of sending a bouquet of flowers as a “Thanks for Having Us”, why not send the gift of meat? For the ultimate meat lover. Peter Luger, Brooklyn’s famous steakhouse, will overnight their signature steaks in a reusable cooler along with their famous steak sauce and chocolate Luger coins. No reservations required. Add to that some of these steak button thermometers from Sur La Table and he’s ready to grill. $20.00
