Classic mid-century style with a modern twist. These are UV-protective and budget-friendly without looking it.
Kiel James Patrick Nautical Bracelet
Each bracelet is custom painted by hand to spell his initials in signal flags. A coastal-inspired piece that’s understated, masculine, and full of character.

P.F. Candle Co. Teakwood & Tobacco Candle
Warm, smoky, and a little spicy—like a leather armchair in a vintage library.
Ranger Station Old Fashioned Candle
Cocktail meets candle. Whiskey, citrus, and spice in a reusable rocks glass—yes, really.

A bar soap that actually feels like a gift. Rich lather, sexy scent, and minimal packaging. It turns the shower into a five-star moment.
Kitchen Meets Clubhouse
Retro yet refined. Perfect for the dad who takes his morning espresso seriously—or likes to pretend he’s in Milan. Pair with his favorite beans for a full experience.
Williams Sonoma Clubhouse Sailing Old Fashioned Glasses
Nautical, timeless, and just the right amount of preppy. These glasses were made for patio cocktails and seaside dreaming. A real chic bar cart upgrade.
Williams Sonoma Grilling Apron
Because the grill master deserves gear that looks as good as his steak tastes. Durable, classic, and built for the long game. Just add tongs and confidence.
Williams Sonoma Clubhouse Golf Stirring Sticks
Fun, functional, and downright charming. These golf-club shaped stirrers add personality to his favorite cocktail. This is a small detail that makes a big impression.
Whether he’s into style, scents, or spirits, there’s something on this list for everyone. These gifts say, “I see your style, your rituals, and your vibe—and I love it.”
