I guess many of our readers are using iPads to read the magazine and I believe it has changed the way you do many things. It’s a beautiful device and it deserves a beautiful case. Of course you can walk to the Apple Store and buy original Apple branded smart cover for it but I wanted something different and I found absolutely beautiful and practical cases from HomemadeLeather shop at Etsy.
All of us use the iPad in different ways thus the requirements for one’s perfect case are slightly different.
HomeMade Leather
I use iPad for many magazines, calendar, mail, games and various other apps but I also like to keep paper pad and some pens with me. I found this trendy case from HomemadeLeather Etsy shop
The case is made of fashionable leather with the space of the notepad for your daily life with iPad. Triple folding design, also a good choice for your work and as your business gift. Case has two pen loops, with six pockets for cards. It has one hidden pocket for your papers & other two more pockets.
If I would be trekking or hunting I would certainly carry a rugged knife but for everyday purposes it’s more practical to carry a pocket knife which fits nicely in your bag or pocket. DJReigel’s etsy shop has really cool pocket knives made with stainless steel and have handmade western style engravings. 
These knives make a perfect gift for his graduation or anniversary or why not buy one for yourself. The knife features genuine stag handles, and a single Solingen drop point blade. Folded it measures 2-5/8inches (6.7cm). Small and thin, it can easily be carried in a pocket. Knife includes a handsome gift box with a red satin drawstring storage pouch. It’s possible to get initials engraved to these knives making them one-of-a-kind gift that will last for years.
We all remember how the first summer was after getting the driver’s license and a car. For me it all calls for great memories. We were not rich and the cars were anything but new and problem free. However the friends and atmosphere were awesome and that’s exactly what made the time. Just plain old no worries - high school time. I believe the next product might give you some amounts of youth spirit everyday.
A clock made of real vintage 1966 Ford Mustang Hubcap, by 8 Mile Creek Designs. I would call it a brilliant idea. I can see so many places where it would do it’s work and it’s an awesome gift idea for someone who is into American cars.
Archeologists have studied that humans have been wearing sandals for more than 10,000 years. Yet they are still fashionable and comfortable shoes during the hot summer days.
I discovered these handmade leather and rubber sole sandals recently from cbajo Etsy shop. On these days there are many products in the market that are made to last barely one season so it’s nice to find emerging number of small companies and entrepreneurs who are truly trusting good quality in both design and craftsmanship.
These sandals are not the cheapest but they are not terribly expensive either considering they are hand made in the US and the materials are of good quality leather and rubber.
One king in a kingdom far far away was so delighted after the invention of the chess game. that he asked the inventor to name his prize for it. The inventor, being a smart guy, asked one grain of rice for the first square on the board, two for the second, four for the third and so on.
The king was not that good in maths and quickly approved the prize and ordered an assistant to count and give away the prize for the inventor. However the calculation took weeks and it ended up being so expensive that the inventor eventually became the new king.
I don’t know how true the old story is, but stories like this prove the success of the game.
If you want to play chess you need a chess board and if you want to do it with style you might consider this wooden, handmade chess board found in hobbymakers Etsy shop.
The board is made of 64 individually cut squares of hardwood. Half the squares are walnut and half birch.
The board is framed in walnut with an inlay around the center of oak. The box itself is made of walnut with a decorative design at each corner. Each side has a ceramic knob as a drawer pull and a friction catch to hold the drawer in place. Handmade by Hobby Makers.
Many might think cufflinks are only something grandfather used to wear in his sunday shirt. Sadly it’s true that the days of the early 20th century are gone when cufflinks were considered as a luxurious gift.
However cufflinks are still today probably the easiest way to add character to man’s dressing. Even Daniel Craig used cufflinks in his shirt as 007 James Bond.
Cufflinks come in many designs, some formal, some funnier and they are traditional gift to men from women. Cufflinks can be presented to men as a love gift, valentine’s day gift, anniversary gift, achievement gift or pretty much as any other kind of gift by women.
I found nice cufflinks from CleopatraNYC Etsy shop. The theme is sports car and I think she sums the idea pretty well. “Know a car enthusiast? Well, which man isn’t? He may not get the car of his dreams, but at least, he’ll have these cuff links!” - Cleopatra NYC
The event is starting and you are still looking for the one missing object. If this sounds something that could happen to you (or your love) then you might consider a box for your small items to keep them organized.
This box is handmade of old recycled oak and it has a nice story backing it.
“Recently we got some wood from an older man near here. He is one of those true junk men, who never throws away anything. Most of the wood was very good, but we found this big piece of oak that had knots and insect or worm holes. We started to throw it out, but just couldn’t;
it was so beautiful and unique. Then James had the idea of making a jewelry/trinket box for a man. The finished product would make any lumber jack proud, complete with sawdust left by the visitors.” - Hobby Makers.
The box is available in hobbymakers Etsy shop.
I would say having a cool hip flask in a party is part of your clothing and image. Nowadays many have those stainless steel hip flasks you can find pretty much from any grocery store. Why not get something special for you or maybe a give as gift for an old friend.
This hip flask is truly hand made and each product is done following customer’s requests. Hip flasks are available from MichelleVerbeeck Etsy shop
It can have a leather quote and personal message. The metal plate can accommodate a quote or your personal words. Also colors, metals and text are all customizable so you can have totally unique hip flask.
Belts have been used in clothing for centuries and yet they are still fashionable today.
If you want something different than everyone else has why not go with a real handmade product? This belt from MARCUEshoes Etsy shop is handmade of real raw cowhide leather.
