Well, it was only a matter of time before we released our first gift guide of the season.  With so many wonderful gifts out there, we thought it would be best to break things up a bit and offer a brief look at a handful of possibilities each week between now and Christmas.  Every Tuesday, we’ll be unveiling a new gift guide, and each one will have it’s own theme.  Our theme this week: Paper & Wood.

1. Garden & Gun magazine:  A gift that keeps giving all year round, Garden & Gun is one of the few magazines we are truly excited to see waiting in the mailbox.

2. Prints by Old Try: The perfect gift for anyone who is in the South, from the South, or simply lives their life like a Southerner.  We love ’em all.

3. Bamboo iPhone cases by Grove: In the world of wooden iPhone cases, there is Grove and then everyone else.  You won’t find a higher quality case, and the customization options are endless.  Though they’re a bit backlogged now, this one is worth the wait.

4. Cedar Shoe Trees:  They may not be the most glamorous of gifts, but any guy who cares about his shoes will be happy to find a set or two underneath the tree.

5. Exemplar Pens by Baltz:  Hand turned in Raleigh from some of the finest wood on earth, these pens are a fantastic departure from the standard metal, plastic, or composite options that are out there.

6. Field Notes: The perfect stocking stuffer, we never leave home without them.  Whether you pick up a 3-pack or sign someone up for a subscription, you really can’t go wrong.
