I love wise quotes. Can’t get enough of them. They help you staying on your path. Now at the moment I am not wearing a necklace because it’s so much work taking it off all the time…yes, I know I’m lazy.

The words of William E. Henley are inscribed on a sterling silver pendant, along with an oxidized silver compass rose to help you captain your own soul. The quote is awesome and the compass fits perfectly with the quote. Really like the idea behind the necklace.

UNCOMMON KNOWLEDGE: While in the hospital facing the amputation of his second foot (he had already lost one as a child), Henley befriended author Robert Louis Stevenson, and they collaborated on a few plays. Henley is actually the basis for Stevenson’s famous character Long John Silver from the novel Treasure Island.

This would be a fantastic gift for a young man on his graduation day. Just think about it, he has his whole life infront of him and gets a necklace like this that reminds him that he is in control. Aaaah, brings tears to my eyes. Haha. Ideal present for any young ambitious or not so ambitious man.

Handcrafted in Canada of handsome sandalwood, this wooden watch will add a rich, organic and unexpected touch to your daily wardrobe. Reddish brown with a beautiful flowing grain, this lightweight and comfortable watch is a subtle way to celebrate the natural world.

Sounds not really manly but they have to write things like that to get stuff sold. Haha. No lets be serious if I was a watch guy (I lost every watch I ever got so stopped wearing a watch) I would want this one.

The clasp is made of stainless steel and the watch uses Miyota 2035 movement from Japan (thats what makes the watch tick in case you didn’t know). Actually I think this is a pretty cool present for a man of the older generation. One thing I was thinking about though is if it is at all water resistant. Nice as a christmas gift for boyfriend. Available for $75.

Don’t forget to stay away from termites. Haha.

Talking about uncommon gifts for him. I am really excited about this one. You know why? Because I am annoyed by all wallets I had before. They are too big. They fall apart pretty fast. I had all kinds of wallets but I have never been satisfied with any of them. This is one is the bomb. Let’s get into it.

Inspired by the old leather wallet his grandfather gave him, Terrence Kelleman’s modern, leather-free update is made of tear-resistant, water-resistant, expandable and recyclable Tyvek.

Tyvek is the material express mail envelopes are made of. You know what that means… Thousands of interlocking plastic fibers spun in random patterns giving the wallet incredible strength. Sounds pretty cool for a guys wallet doesn’t it.

Because of the slim, lightweight and water resistant features, you can take your Mighty Wallet anywhere. No more strange bumps in your pants because of your fat wallet. Another cool thing it that the surface is writable. Not sure how to use that but I like it. The wallet will soften and wear over time but never tear. The slender silhouette makes it a great “night out” wallet.

This is one of my all time favourites. The perfect present for him. No matter how old he is or what interests he has. It’s practical and looks awesome. And the biggest pro the wallet costs only $15.
