Well gents, it's happened. You've waited till the last minute and are frantically trying to find the perfect gift for the Buffalonian in your life. Need thou not be afraid, for Buffalo Dandy is here with a list of holiday gift ideas from some of our favorite new (and old) stores around town. Time is running out, so let's get started!
Furnishings Graphic Pillows - A fine addition to any home, Furnishings incredible graphic pillows are perfect for Buffalonians and that special someone you have a difficult time expressing exactly how you feel about.
One Foot Cock Tee - Show your support for Buffalo's own Bourbon Whiskey company with a handsome looking yet perfectly tongue and cheek t-shirt. Available at BFLO Distilling Company and Kegworks.
Cool Hand Clothing Cologne Tins - One our favorites (among many) from the new Cool Hand Clothing store are these cologne tins which feature a scented wax which is applied to pressure points on your skin for a subtle, signature scent.
O'Connell's Buffalo Socks - Sure the Bills and Sabres aren't doing great, but that never seems to sway the unflinching Buffalo sports fan-base. Show your support with these great Corgi Buffalo Socks from O'Connell's available in a variety of color ways including Bills and Sabres.
Lagavulin 16 Year Scotch - Make no mistake, a good bottle of scotch is always a great gift idea. If you are new to the world of scotch and are not sure what to get, the fine folks at Gates Circle have an impressive selection to choose from and a knowledgeable staff to help you out. A personal favorite of mine is the Lagavulin 16.
Hemingway for Men "The Boxer " Beard Oil - There are plenty of bear oils to choose from, but few can boast being from Buffalo. "The Boxer" beard oil from Hemingway is hand crafted using 10 all-natural, cold pressed oils which not only treat the beard but moisturize the skin as well. Currently available at NEO Gift Studio and Renew Bath and Body on Elmwood.
Buffalo Nickel Keychains - I'm a sucker for anything with a vintage Buffalo nickel on it and am also currently a sucker for a nice keychain. These handmade keychains from Gizmo's Creatings are sure to handsomely accent any keychain. Available at Herstory Buffalo.
Big Ditch Brewing Co. 1/2 Gallon Growler - If you haven't been to the new Big Ditch Brewery downtown, do yourself a favor and swing on in for a pint or two or three. Better yet, pick up one of their many available growlers to take some of their delicious beer home with you. While many of us have a plain brown glass growler, few have this impressive stainless steel 1/2 gallon monster. Be the envy of all your friends and show up with one of these during the holiday party.
