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!
