That pocket hankerchief is the sweetest! Also, I totally need to check out those luggage tags for myself..They are great!
Have a great afternoon, kisses
A great list!!! Well done!
Eek! Love the "Not Yours" luggage tag - they're out of stock!
loooove this list!! especially the beer coasters..cute :)
my younger brother doesn't drive a yellow motorcycle.. but he is hilarious, and his past halloween costumes have included a nun, the tooth fairy & the purple teletubby. I have a feeling he would love the luggage tag!
LOVE the tee and the luggage tag :) The math nerd in me wants the ice tray for myself!
hollie, haha, that is awesome!!! he sounds so funny.
oh no about the luggage tag! will email them to see if it can come back in stock, fingers crossed xo
I'm all over this one! I have two brothers and not a gift in sight! I love The Icelandic Beard cap, Not yours luggage tag, and My Phone is off for you hanky! So original!
That hankie is pure genius! My husband may find it in his stocking... *wink*
Another great list, Joanna! xo.
I love the "my phone is off for your case" - I could buy one of those for my hubby too.
That beard cap is amazing!! Such a brilliant idea :)

I almost fell off my chair giggling about that Icelandic beard cap. Hilarious!
When I first met my now boyfriend, I thought it was the sweetest thing that he always carried cloth hankies. So gentleman-y!
HA! I love the beard!
It is insane how perfect these gifts are for my little brother who is in the Naval Academy (sailor) getting a degree in aerospace engineering (so he can be an astronaut) thus requiring him to study math all the time (probably including equations with pi) and also requiring him to travel all over the world (making good use of luggage).
Great guide! xx
no way, cara!! haha, he sounds so much like my brother! they should be friends :)
LOL! These are fantastic! I want that luggage tag.
I love your holiday guides. ;)
PI ice cube trays!! Such a wonder! (And feel free to check out my miniature men's gift guide: http://daniellemsolomon.blogspot.com/2010/12/beard-oil.html -- it includes beard oil!)
Cheers,
Danielle
Oh my. That Lego Book is for keeps! How clever and hilarious! I absolutely love it.
Funny-I totally bought my husband astronaut ice cream for his last birthday! I bought one for myself too and munched it down in like 5 minutes. oops!
The hankerchief is fantastic!
Joanna, the bearded cap is a cup of jo classic. definitely always and forever.
Earlier today I settled on getting the I LEGO NY book for my boyfriend's little brother (not so little at age 21) together with a pair of LEGO cuff links. There's a bunch of different options on Etsy. I'm loving your guides!
it really blocks service?! crazy! and i wiiiiish that hat was not $89...i'd totally buy it for my brother-in-law if it were....half that ;)
haha, great list!! I love all these original ideas, and i would totally get those luggage tags for myself!
that iPhone hanky is great! What a smart idea.
Great stuff! I especially love the luggage tag! (for my brothers and myself!)
xo, Nadia
Wow, great list! I love Christoph Niemann's blog for the NY Times but had no idea he had a coffee book; must put on wishlist (for myself ;)). Thanks for all these great ideas!
the beard is one of my all time faves
I love the icelandic beard cap! Maybe if my brother had one of these, he could let go of his hipster mustache :)
These are all great! I love the message on the handkerchief!
I want that tree swing in my garden:>>:
I'm loving all your gift ideas! Thanks for the tips!
I don't have any brothers, but I immediately bought the sailboat Tee for my boyfriend- can't wait to give it to him! Thanks for making me look like a hip girlfriend.
The BEST 'guy' list I've seen yet... you're GOOD:).
Thank you!!!!
I like the luggage tags for myself.
Ooh, I love the sailing shirt and the luggage tag! Thank you! These also look just about perfect for my little brother

These are hysterical! I'm intrigued by that Lego book. Love the luggage tag. I think with the pocket handkerchief, I wouldn't tell him it was blocking service. I would let him put it on vibrate and think he was still monitoring incoming calls. My ass.
I look forward to your lists every year! thanks again.
Wow I love these! They fit my wannabe-hipster and aerospace engineer brother perfectly. Sidenote, I saw a dude wearing one of those beard hats while I was waiting for the train this afternoon. Love it. I'll be blogging about this tomorrow!
the handkerchief, i could definitely see that being a gift from a girlfriend to a boyfriend, and could be sneaky too if he didn't know that it actually blocked service! ha.
such lovely picks. the book i love, and the luggage tag! so witty.
xo.
thank you! now my brother gets a christmas present! best list ever.
Luggage tag wanted :)
jo, you do the BEST BEST BEST BEST gift guides.
so lovely and personal.
trust me, i've seen a few.
i've been thinking about doing one on my blog, but it just wouldn't compare.
thanks.
boys are hard to buy for!

This Islandic beard cap is priceless !! so so funny... btw did you really taste astronaut ice cream ? sounds weird and fun at the same time. great picks as always xx
Thanks, Joanna!
Okay, just when I was feeling very meh towards gift guides, this one pops up... which is so spot on for my younger brother it's a little eerie. I could probably buy the entire guide and he'd be thrilled.
Thank you internet (and Joanna), I will never doubt your gift guidance again.
I think your "hilarious younger brother who rides a yellow motorcycle & dressed as a bedbug for halloween" might be my boyfriend - thanks for the suggestions he's going to love the sailboat shirt : )
oh these are lovely ideas. although the beard kinda scares me. a wonderfully designed object none the less, but if saw someone wearing it in dark light i might jump! maybe that is a good thing! maybe that is the one!

joanna this is a great gift guide! and i want everything on it for myself!
Ido love the icelandic beard cap!!
hooray for it being time for the gift guides!!!
I need to get that handkerchief for my boyfriend! Would my passive aggressiveness in giving it to him be forgiven for how cute it is? Yes!
I know many many "men" who would die for that mustache-hat! Haha I love it!
you nailed the brother gifts right on the head! perfect insight!
Great gift guide!! All of those gifts were way cool. My brother started University last Fall at Texas A&M, so I picked him up a shirt from a market here in Israel that said "My future is so bright, I gotta wear shades" -- it's so fun shopping for brothers!

Wonderful! Just got the tree swing, but we're not giving it away!
Loving the pocket hankie - will be buying that for my hubbie. Is that too much of a hint?
Thanks for the great ideas :)

Do you have any cool ideas for 3-fold wallets for hip young men? Can't seem to find anything that isn't too mature and professional or totally lame and over the top (immature). Thanks!
Thank you for sharing a nice article.

I just adore the Viking beard hat! I'm planning on buying my brother one for his birthday. Seeing he is already obsessed with his own (real) beard, I'm sure it would make a great gift! Heather
