Since Christmas is coming up this month I thought I’d take a moment to present (pun intended?) to you all the perfect beardy holiday gift guide. Now these are just a few of my favorites. You can also check out the 101 Mustache Gift Ideas by Coty Gonzales or this guide by Erin Dollar of I Made You a Beard.

First up are the amazing beard bandanas by Jacksonville’s own Burro Bags. Perfect stocking stuffers for your favorite beard enthusiast.

Who wouldn’t want a pair of mustache socks by fredflare.com? Seriously.

Tired of an unkempt stache? Then get yourself some Cinnamon Clove Mustache Wax by Man’s Face Stuff.

Just getting in to the art of Facial Hair? Then learn from the best and grab yourself the Facial Hair Handbook by the champ himself, Jack Passion.

Ladies, you can keep up with the latest in beardy fashion with this sweet Beardo Necklace by KidViskous.

Or this awesome mustache ring by Isette.

I love this T-Shirt graphic by Fuzzy Ink.

This Mr. Mustache Tote bag is pretty sweet by Sirena Con Jersey.

And lastly, I’ve always been a fan of the Timber Preservation Society. I love his Shirt designs. Go get yourself one.

And that’s my perfect guide to beardy holiday shopping. Happy Holidays and keep bearding!

Cheers!

Movember Jax Party Recap!

By admin | Published: December 7, 2009

Movember was such a successful event for the Jacksonville Beardsmith Society! It was a lot of fun and we raised a lot of money for a great cause. Here’s a recap: We made close to $170 in donations that night alone, bringing us to a grand total of $1,154! The contest was a lot of fun and I want to thank everyone for coming out and I especially want to congratulate Chad Landenberger for winning the Man of Movember award. He truly had the best Movember attitude and really supported the effort all month long. I also want to congratulate Kelly Macdonald for winning the Miss Movember award (Sarah got the award that night in honor of Kelly). Kelly helped the Jax Stache team so much by providing tons of product for our last bake sale during the Riverside Wine Festival.

At the party, we were privileged to have photographer Jensen Hande there taking portraits of Movember participants. I’ll post some of his photos below and you can also find some here. Thanks Jensen! Jax Beard owes you a couple of beers. So without further adieu, I present the Movember Jax party photos!

Update: I forgot to include the link to the photos that Sarah took. You can see the whole set here.

Movember Jax Party!

By admin | Published: November 24, 2009

To finish up an awesome Movember for the Jacksonville Beardsmith Society, we’re hosting a Movember Party this Saturday, November 28th at Club TSI! It’s sure to be a fantastic event. There will be an awards ceremony commemorating those who participated this month. We’re also going to have donation boxes to help raise more money and a photo booth taking pictures provided by the very talented Jensen Hande.

There will also be $2 Paulaner Hefe Weizen for anybody wearing a mustache (real or fake.)

Awards will be given for the following categories:

The Lame Mo
This is an Encouragement Award for the Mo Bro who has tried his best, yet is still a wispy effort.

Best Mo in Character
As the name suggests we are looking for the Mo that matches the character/costume.

Best Mo Bro with his Mo Sista
This is awarded to the male/female duo with a great costume character/combination, similar to the Best Mo in Character but with the inclusion of a Mo Sista.

Best Team Mo
Safety in numbers with this category.

The Ultimate Mo
This is awarded to the Mo Bro purely on the grooming and styling of his Mo.

Miss Movember
The ultimate prize awarded to the stand out Mo Sista who has supported and encouraged Mo Bros.

Man of Movember
This is the ultimate prize awarded to the stand out Mo Bro who has the best Mo, costume and attitude. The Man of Movember is to be chosen from the finalists of the other categories. He has a true appreciation for the Mo and wears it proud!

Miss Movember and Man of Movember will be awarded sashes to wear proudly. Other prizes include mustache-themed gifts, art, books, and more. Anyone can attend the event and enjoy drink discounts, but only Movember participants can compete for titles and prizes.

Special thanks to Mark Barilla for designing the Movember Party poster! Please retweet, repost, and spread the word – we want a huge crowd! If you’d like a high-res version of the poster to print for your home, office or business click here.

By admin | Published: November 24, 2009

Man oh man! Jax Beard has been very very busy. Last Saturday we had our second Movember bake sale at the Riverside Wine Festival in 5points and it was a huge success. Many many thanks go out to @kelmac for helping us out and making tons of cupcakes, brownies, chocolate clusters and chocolate dipped pretzels! We sold out of just about everything! Overall we made about $425 that was donated toward the Movember Jax Stache team! I’d also like to thank Sean Todd, Katy Garrison and my lovely Sarah for helping out as well. More pictures below and you can also find other pictures here. Cheers!

Bring on the Staches!

By admin | Published: November 6, 2009

Movember is in full bloom now, and everything seems to be growing (yeah I went there) quite well, especial on the Jax side of things.

We have our Bake Sale tonight and that should be pretty awesome. We’ll be outside 5pts Coffee & Spice Co. next to Steamworks during First Fridays in 5pts/Riverside. There will be a Jacksonville Beardsmith Society table set up with lots of Movember swag & tasty goodies for sale. All of the proceeds from the bake sale will go to support men’s health, which you can always learn more at www.movember.com.

Bakers include Marisa Ratliff of Sweet n Flour (shortbread mustache cookies), Sean Collins of Jax Beard (ginger butter bars), Sean Todd (oatmeal butterscotch cookies) & Chris Baker (cookies & brownies). Thanks to all of our generous bakers for helping us out.

Movember Jax Bake Sale!

By admin | Published: November 4, 2009

mustache-cookies

Hey folks! How’s mustache growing treating you all this Movember? Man I miss my beard but I am so happy with the amount of participation we’ve had with this. Thanks to everyone who have signed up and joined the Jax Stache team. You can still sign up if you want to participate. Please do if you haven’t. You can do so by going here.

So, with that said, to help us raise more money for the event, we’re putting on a bake sale this Friday at First Fridays in front of 5Points Coffee and Spice Co. in 5 Points. We have the ever-so-talented Marisa Ratliff helping us out and will be baking some mustache cookies (not the ones pictured above). I will also be baking and we have a couple other people who will be baking and helping out as well. It’s sure to be a blasty.

We could use more bakers if you still want to help out. If you have another table to donate for the event, that would help to. I’m thinking we should walk up and down the street to try and get people to buy some baked goodies or if we have enough people, maybe set up another area to sell cookies, cakes, brownies and what-have-you. If you’re interested in helping out, baking or anything else, let me know and we’ll coordinate what to do.

Anyway, that’s it for now. I’ll be seeing you all soon. Cheers!
