I had $60k worth of diamonds on my finger yesterday. Just a cheeky try-on while collecting some sparkly bits for Chris to shoot. I sent my man a photo – and he told me that’s the first, and last time I’d ever have that many diamonds on my digit. That’s why I’m getting him this. The Mattress Wallet. Steve Cullen & Peter Trueblood, from Creature Design in Seattle, describe this master piece as ‘less risky than the stock market , and more mobile than your mattress – the savvy investors choice.’ Lets hope this fairy bed improves my chances of some serious bling.

On the weekend I went to the Aireys Inlet Festival of Words . It makes complete sense to showcase writing down the coast. That’s where most people head to escape the busy mind-trap of the city and coax their words onto paper. I’d never been before. But I was impressed. I was more impressed with Brendan McAloon though.
Obsessed with surf at an early age Brendan traded landlocked Ararat for the steely blue of The Great Ocean Road. Having spent years as a journalist, followed by a stint at Rip Curl where he produced their ‘Search TV’ Brendan has collated his published stories, and memories, to create ‘Deep Water’. It’s fabulous. Informative. Exciting.
In true surfer style it relaxingly introduces you to surfing, leads you through it’s history and takes you out the back with Brendan. The words are cut like Brendan. Barefoot, weathered, determined and intelligent. The perfect gift to inspire your man to follow his dreams. Check out Brendan’s blog. And buy the book here .

It’s not often that I get to see a man in a penguin suit, but when I do I DON’T WANT TO SEE A PRE-TIED BOW. Men who have these are clearly lazy, and obviously no-good with their hands (something too look out for).
Apart from an actual bow tie, the best present you can give your man is the ability to tie one. This is were YouTube comes in handy. Thanks to Lucky, our ‘Cinch-it-down-sir’ (watch and you’ll see what I mean), your man will be dressed with flair looking slightly asymmetrical and sharp. Hot.
If you prefer diagrams, try this one. Maybe you can print it out and put it in the box with your pressie.
Head to Harrolds, or the Mens Department in either David Jones or Myer and track down a cheeky bow tie for your man. Classic black, or maybe something with a little more kick. Bring back the elegance.

Stick em up!! You could rob a bank with one of these. Fun fun fun. I know I blogged about handkerchiefs for men not so long ago. But I just found these mo-rags online. Which are way cool. Way way cool.
Help your man embrace his inner Salvador Dali, Tom Selleck, Chopper Read & Charlie Chaplin and stifle his sniffles at the same time.
Head to Avril Loreti online to purchase. Check out her other HOT products while you’re there too.

Are men capable of choosing their own bed linen? I say NO.
NO NO NO NO NO.
They always pick dark school-uniform-slash-numberplate-blue colours that are most unattractive. They think they hide dirt. Well yes, in theory.
They hide dark coloured smudges. Like a girls mascara on a pillow case. However when a girl comes over that’s not the only thing you want to be disguising. And we all know that deep blue, grey, black and dark tones don’t cut it.
So. It’s up to you. With the ridiculous sales that DJ’s and Myer are always having one can procure a sheet set at a very minimal cost. Good quality too. These are my picks. And if you’re feeling like a bit of fun and your man has a double bed. Go for the Junior range. Who knew that they sell kids bedding in double size?? Brats.
For more details and a better idea of the range check out the Sheridan website. Live on the edge of the bed. Boot boring.
