Holiday Gifts for HIM!

November 5, 2020 by Chi@glance

The holidays are right around the corner! Believe it or not weโ€™re only 49 days away from Christmas. If youโ€™re like me, I struggle finding gifts for the men in my life. Not this year though! One of the most unique and fun kind of gifts to give is the gift of personalization!

This awesome article โ€œ102 of the Best Christmas Gift Ideas for Himโ€ has amazing suggestions of items that can be customized. Whether the man in your life likes to cook, workout, grill, drink, etc… this list should have you covered!

https://www.groovyguygifts.com/blogs/news/personalized-christmas-gifts-for-your-boyfriend

Although the list is for men, of course, you know I found more than a few items I wanted as well!

I love my whiskey and got the Full Set Gentlemanโ€™s Decanter customized for Chiataglance.

https://www.groovyguygifts.com/collections/engraved-decanter-personalized-gift

This crystal clear glass decanter will hold 26 ounces of their favorite whiskey or bourbon, while the pair of personalized rocks glasses will help your man empty it! Whether your guy chooses to class up a bottle of whiskey from the well or show off the top-shelf stuff, every time they raise a glass, they’ll fondly remember this special gift that you got for him.

I also thought back to all those times I needed a cooler during the summer and didnโ€™t have one. If you know someone like me it would be awesome to gift a Frosty Beer Bag. https://www.groovyguygifts.com/collections/personalized-mens-bags

Happy Shopping!

NEW Location Alert!๐Ÿšจ @Soulandsmoke is now open in NEW Location Alert!๐Ÿšจ @Soulandsmoke is now open in Evanston, IL. The flagship location is where Bold BBQ meets elevated dining, community, and art. We were impressed with the curated art selection and the food was just as yummy and unique. 

Itโ€™s so hard to choose favorites, but I know youโ€™re going to ask. ๐Ÿ˜‚ So make sure you donโ€™t leave without trying the Moto Cigar Bites, Potato Salad deviled eggs, Shrimp & Grits, Mac & Cheese, and Smoke Chicken Gumbo. Thereโ€™s tons of desserts to choose from but I really liked the homemade peach cobbler and the sweet potato pie. Grab a cocktail! The vibe in the lounge is sexy! ANDโ€ฆ guess what?!? You can bring Soul & Smoke home for Thanksgiving. Order NOW!
