Is your favorite guy the neighborhood barbeque expert? Receiving a fun gift like this personal branding iron will make his special day. It'll sear his personal initials into every steak he wrangles. Choose one to three letters, or two letters and a "&" sign, or brand an entire party's steaks with an R, M, or W, for Rare, Medium, and Well. Just heat the iron on the grill as the meat cooks. An ingenious gift for any lover of grilled meats, it cleans easily with soap and water. The branding iron features a 15-inch-long wood handle, perfect for use in conjunction with that outdoor grill.

The perfect gadget for the golfer on your list

If you're shopping for birthday gifts for men, this is a safe bet for anyone who spends a lot of time on the golf links. One of our most popular golf accessories, this Battenkill® Golf Ball Dispenser, constructed in our signature green and chestnut leathers, clips to a belt or to a golf bag's towel ring. No more stuffing golf balls in pants pockets or rummaging through your golf bag; this dispenser holds three golf balls (not included) and tees (included). Easy to load via the top flap, you retrieve a fresh ball from the bottom. For an additional five dollars, you can personalize this dispenser with your loved one's initials.

If you have boaters in your family, add our Oakley Half Jacket sunglasses to your list of birthday gifts for men. These high tech, high quality glasses feature interchangeable lenses which allow you to adapt instantly to changing light conditions on the water. The polarized lenses offer unbeatable durability, because the filter is encased in impact-resistant Plutonite® lens material. This innovation offers unsurpassed protection by blocking 100 percent of all ultraviolet light, not just UVA. Choose a black frame with 3 interchangeable lens sets, one VR28, one bronze, and one gray, or a rootbeer frame with a bronze lens.
