Red Envelope Varsity Stripe Wool Blend Scarf – $23.99 w/ code SGIFTS20
*Base price is $19.99. The Extra $10 pre-code is for them to embroider one initial on the scarf. Code should get you 20% off. No word on when it expires, and there’s always Red Envelope codes floating around out there…
It’ll be here before you know it. So if you’re in need of a few ideas on what to give (or in some cases, what to put on your own list) this year, this is the place to be for the next couple weeks. Our annual 12 days of Dappered covers one item each week-day between now and December 20th. That’ll leave some time for shipping if you’re the last minute type. All will be reasonably affordable. See the growing archive here.
Sure giving a tie might be cliche, and a scarf isn’t all that much different from a tie, but plenty of guys will find a coat they love and the scarf is an afterthought.
Not only does this one nail the varsity stripe look, it’s on-sale, made form a non-itchy wool/acrylic blend, and for $24 with the code and before shipping you get one initial worth of personalization for the recipient.
If you’re wildly lazy, for an extra $5, Red Envelope will put it in one of their surprisingly impressive red boxes for you. No wrapping need be done on your end.
UPDATE: Know that this one is pretty short. 34 1/8″ according to their site. Credit Tyrone with the catch.
Cool idea, but at 34 1/8″, I’ll give it a pass.
Embroider the first or the last name? I’m thinking of getting it for my dad
Netflix sells scarves?
Last gives you a potential theft-gift in future?
Good call. Hadn’t noticed that. Updated above, and while not a dealbreaker for everyone, I think it will be for some…
These remind me of some of the ones that I’ve seen on sale at Johnston & Murphy. I’ve seen that a lot of their stuff has been “Buy One, Get One 50% Off”, so it might be worth checking those out as well.
A slightly more generic, but similarly inexpensive gift idea: $15 and $11 merino wool watch caps from Sierra Trading Post. Made in England and Canada, respectively, for those who aren’t impressed by China. I have the $15 one and it’s been great. Not itchy at all and plenty warm for all but the windiest days.
Might be worth picking up a couple for those of you who (like me) perpetually find that there are people expecting to get gifts from you, though you don’t realize it until they give you theirs. Or you could do what my Dad does, and just buy a few packages of chocolate truffles to keep around.
ya 34 is really short..
red envelope not red box…
I just called about getting it but see that personalization isn’t an option anymore–they said that they took the option away because it won’t be ready for Christmas. Lame.
