Mancrates
Mancrates have unique gift ideas full of themed items that dads would love! Their manifesto states: “We believe men deserve better gifts. Gifts that stir a primal craze of chest bumps and cheers, not polite half-smiles. We believe gifts should be just as exciting to give as they are to receive; the gifts of water cooler legend. We are Man Crates, and we do awesome gifts for men.” We can get behind that.
Here are a few of our favorite Mancrates from their Father’s Day List:
Exotic Meats Crate – “Lean, Mean, Global Cuisine – All the excitement of embarking on a safari without the awkwardness of asking if they’ll be handing out free samples.”
Grill Master Crate -“Playing With Fire – There’s no quicker way to separate the men from the boys than to observe how they manage a steak on the grill. The Grill Master Crate is for the man who’s a cool operator whenever the heat is high”
Pit Master Crate – “Thank You For Smoking – Contrary to popular belief, you can’t just spray tan a chunk of meat with sauce and call it barbecue. The Pit Master Crate is the master class in pro-style, smoke-out barbecue”
Caveman Crate – “Neanderthal Nutrition – The Paleo Diet is all the rage these days. Why millions of Americans would want to look like bulky, unkempt cavemen is beyondus, but if that’s where the new standard of beauty is headed, we’re not complaining. The Caveman Crate is the ultimate treat for any man’s primal palate.”
Beard Wrangler Crate – “Best Kept Kempt – We weren’t sure about the beard craze at first, but after a few days, they’re starting to grow on us. And if you thought the Beard Wrangler Mini Crate was above that sort of joke, well you’re sorely mistaken.”
