I’m sure we all have men in our life that are hard to shop for. The men that we continually seem to buy the same thing over and over – boring and “safe” gifts. Maybe once in a while we give them a subscription to a cool magazine, just to mix it up a little. My husband is one of those guys. Before his birthday and every gift giving holiday I wrack my brain trying to come up with not only a gift that’s practical that I know he’ll like, but also a gift that’s fun. If you have one or more of this type of guy in your life, there’s a new gift solution that’s sure to please – Man Crates.


Man Crates was created by Jon Beekman in an effort to cut through all the “bows, ribbons, and fluff” of traditional gift baskets and help gift-givers find the perfect gift solution for the men in their life. Man Crates are filled with things guys like – beef jerky, chips, candy, beers, gadgets and video games. There are pre-made crates filled with goodies to satisfy everyone from the man gamer in your life to the beer enthusiast or you can shoot them an email to discuss making a custom crate. Each crate comes with a crowbar to add to the manly experience.











I received the College Barware Man Crate for review. My husband was quite excited to use the crowbar to open it! Once he got it open, we were both impressed at how jam-packed the crate was – no bubble wrap or filler – every single inch of space was filled with goodies. The crate contained tons of goodies. My husband has taken a goody a day to work every day as a special treat. It truly is a fun gift to give, and all the treats make it a fun gift to receive! I’m glad I discovered Man Crates as gift giving is going to be easy for now on!

You can see the full line of Man Crates on their website. You can also keep up with them on Facebook, Twitter and their blog.
