Lunch like a Gentleman


As winter settles in, g-men face that ever difficult workday decision: whether or not to sacrifice the soles of our Italian wing-tips tromping through puddles/snow for the sake of that delicious BLT at the deli around the corner. At Gent Stuff, we say 'stay put.'  Enjoy a handmade sandwhich of your own creation with the comfort and $ savings provided by deskside dining.  If you're going to eat amidst your coworkers and bosses however, you might as well do it right.  That means having a cool lunch box (the more things change, they more the become like a school playground).  So slap a photo of something impressive on this metal lunchbox and chow down on some homecooking - your wingtips and bank account will thank you later.  Acquire it at http://www.lunchboxes.com/custom-lunch-box.html, $6.50.

Toss 'em Like a Gentleman

A critical member of the Holy Parlor Trinity (cards, pool and darts), darts has a deserved place close to every g-man's heart.  While many of us may not play it regularly or truly understand the rules, all of us has our fair share of fond memories tossing hopeful beelines towards elusive bulls eyes.  A combination of hallowed g-man principles, such as precision, competition and throwing stuff, darts is a timeless game that continues to  retain its old-world glory in an increasingly virtual world.  So grab a set of steeltips and join Gent Stuff in a round of one of our favorite g-men pastimes:  Darts.  Acquire the Accudart Union Jack set here for $150.  http://www.dartboards.com/general/accudartunionjackdartboardcabinetandset.cfm

Chop like a Gentleman


Just because the threat of invading vikings has long since subsided, doesn't mean today's gentleman doesn't have any use for an axe.  For instance, G-men can proudly hack away at Snake River tenderloin instead of Borgrun of Borgland as they fulfill that other manly creed of "putting dinner on the table."  With this aptly named F. Dick Double-Edged Cleaver, the axe makes a comeback.  Let Gent Stuff be among the first to say, "Welcome home."   Acquire it at www.fdick-cutlery.com. $205.00

Pour like a Gentleman

Wine is a gentleman's old and great friend.  While gents of eras past lauded their ruby companian as we do today, they surely lamented that inconvenient ritual of "decanting" (i.e. waiting and waiting and waiting).  Thankfully invented in 2008, the Vinturi ends this waiting game.  Using Bernoulli's principle (as fluid increases in speed, it decreases in pressure, in this case allowing air to mix with the wine), you can aerate your freshly opened bottle of barolo within seconds.  The Vinturi draws just the right amount of air into your precious liquid to spout at the other end a glass of grapes with the punch and polish even Bachus would applaud.  While you've no doubt seen this gizmo in the wine aisle or local BevMo before, we're here to tell you that unlike every other wine widget, this one works..and wonders.  So join us in a rare Gent Stuff "salud" to instant gratification, in the pleasantly sleek form of the Vinturi Wine Aerator.  Acquire it at vinturi.com, $29.99.
