It’s hard to believe, but I’m blessed with a husband whose consumer propensities are similar to my own (frightening, I know). Unlike some guys, Tom actually enjoys shopping for himself and thus is rather picky about gifts. If you’re in a similar position, I pulled together a list of fool-proof gift ideas here – sourced directly from Tom’s closet (and lengthy wishlist).
FOR HIM
1. La Matera – Prince William Polo Belt
Sir Winston Churchill once said, “A polo handicap is a passport to the world.” Luckily today a regular passport and a tidy criminal record should get you stamped and through customs in most places. Let’s face it, passports, polo handicaps, and all that stuff is great, but day in and day out we need belts. We need a belt that is unique, handsome, and expertly crafted to have us ready to look good wherever we are. This hardy saddle leather belt is crafted in Argentina. It takes hours of artisan work to hand-embroider each belt so you can turn heads for years to come. You’re not a 10 goal polo player …but now you do have the belt. * 1.25 inches (34mm) wide * Crafted in Argentina * Hand- Embroidered Saddle Leather * Solid Brass Buckle * Brushed Cotton Drawstring Belt Case Embroidery colors: navy & light khaki SIZING INFO: The proper method to selecting the right size belt is to choose one that is 2” larger than your pants size, or as some say: ONE SIZE UP. For example, if you wear a size 36 pants, you would order a size 38 belt. If you wear pants that are an odd size…

Tour V4 Patriot Pack Includes a Tour V4 laser rangefinder, premium carry case, battery and blue silicone protective skin. How Bushnell’s Digital Technology Works The Tour V4 with Pinseeker emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Advanced Digital microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate readings every time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder, to the target, and back. Ranging Accuracy The ranging accuracy of the TOUR V4 is plus or minus one yard/meter under most circumstances. The maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. The maximum distance for most objects is 700 yards/640 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1000 yards/914 meters. Note: You will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the reflective properties of the particular target and the environmental conditions at the time the distance of an object is being measured.
