Joe's Bourbon obsession has calmed down (mostly because we don't have much room for it), but he'd still love this set. We also gifted him the Patriots mug (comes in all of the NFL teams) and it's come in handy. You know they like to rep their team. The slides were also a welcomed gift- I think his former pair were older than Dax. And I need to call out the joggers- I've seen men of various builds wearing them and noticed how they look more pulled together than gym shorts or sweats. Hence, they're on my list for Joe. ha. Men are hard to shop for imo, but if they really don't want anything, I look for items they have but are worn out or obsolete. I also look for items that can be used up (like the hot sauce). Happy shopping!
