Affordable Gifts for men – The 12 Days of Dappered #7

A One Year Subscription to Esquire – $5.00

12 weekdays, 12 gifts, not a partridge or pear tree amongst them.  And no golden rings either.  The goal is to keep these affordable (which is honestly, tough to define) but still interesting.  At the very least these should be idea starters.  Click here for the previous days.

Five bucks?  Are you kidding?  Five dollars for a full year of one of, if not the top dog of all men’s magazines?  That’s five bucks for something to look forward to in your mailbox almost every month.  Five bucks for your go-to I’ve got 15 minutes and I want to relax reading material.

You’ll pay more for:

  • a non-happy hour pint (with tip)
  • two gallons of gas
  • A matinee movie ticket
  • One of those noise-making/singing greeting cards

It could be the best cost to enjoyment ratio in all of gift giving.
