12 Days of Dappered #10 – Wood. (Hangers & Shoe Trees)

It’ll be here before you know it. Our annual 12 days of Dappered gift guide covers one item/idea each week-day for the next dozen days. All will be reasonably affordable, and at the same time they should (hopefully) appeal to someone who might drop on by this corner of the internet. So if you’re looking for ideas on what to give a decently dressed (yet budget conscious) fellow, or, if you’ve got friends/family struggling for ideas on what to get someone (you) who’s hard to buy for, check back in as this year’s 12 Days churns on. You’ll also find the growing archive here.

“Did someone say…” (looks right, looks left, looks up, back to center) “wood?”

– Mr. Woodchuck

Hangers and shoe trees? Yawn, right? Not if you’re like most of us, who get excited about a new pair of shoes or a new suit and then… realize we don’t have the equipment to store the new stuff properly. Then comes the guilt. Then comes the swiping of your “good” hangers from an older but still well liked jacket. Or you keep the crummy cardboard inserts in your new shoes until you can acquire a new pair of trees. Save us. Save us from ourselves.

Nothing says “I understand your style habit” quite like gifting a pair of shoe trees for his next pair (green light!). Or, a batch of wide shouldered wood hangers so he can ditch the plastic covered wire hangers from the dry cleaners. Plus, these aren’t stocking stuffers, but they’re not super expensive either. Hat tip to RunDadRun for pointing out these six packs of wide shouldered hangers on Sierra Trading Post. For the trees, go with the USA Made Woodlore Option for $20, or even less if you’ve got a Nordstrom Rack in your area.
