No guy looks forward to Valentine’s Day. The flowers and chocolates are easy, but expressing our “feelings” in a card is not exactly our speed. We’re happy if we don’t accidentally grab one that congratulates you on your... continue...
Game night is no joking matter. When your friends arrive ready to hand over their cash you don’t want to bust out just any box of cards. You want premium stock (these are also cambric finished) and a quality container (a leatherette box in this case)... continue...
We’ve gotten away with Hallmark carefully picking and choosing our words for us on special occasions for what feels like forever, but there’s some things even a Hallmark card can’t say. Sometimes you just want that special someone in... continue...
Loading up a wallet with all your credit cards, business cards and cash is a perfect way to tear small holes in the pockets of all your jeans. Sometimes it’s unavoidable (like when you are attempting to relocate the contents of your nightstand),... continue...
There was a time not all that long ago when men wore hats, women wore stockings in public, the appletini didn’t exist and you could actually smoke inside. Finding a place like that now is all but impossible unless you pop in a film noir movie. Or... continue...
Normally we wouldn’t shell out more than a couple of bucks on a deck of cards. Ours are usually the $2 packs that will quickly be ruined by spilled beer and nacho cheese stains on poker night. That being said, we could be persuaded to pay the extra... continue...
With over fifteen different apps on our phones (and countless more available) for reminders, appointments, notes and to-dos, not to mention e-mail, it’s a wonder that we even interact with paper anymore. And yet, like clockwork, we find ourselves... continue...
Cards on the table, we haven’t picked up a guitar in ages. We were never very good at it to begin with, so it serves a much better purpose hanging on the wall as art than it ever would in our hands. But that’s ok because we have friends and acquaintances... continue...
There’s something magical about a boat full of aces over eights. Something extraordinary about a hand full of sequentially numbered red or black cards. Whether your game is hold em or stud or draw, or if you’re just making aces appear and... continue...
If you spend your days hunched over a keyboard like a code writing Quasimodo, you probably have little contact with the outside world. This isn’t good. You need to keep up your relationships outside of dealing with internet trolls, and what better... continue...
There’s a point every year when people start freaking out about finishing their holiday shopping. It frequently results in last minute raiding of the 7-11 for gift cards and whatever beer happens to still be available. Don’t be this guy or gal. We’ve... continue...
Our origami skills are basically nonexistent. You want a paper swan? Give us a stack of loose leaf paper, some scissors and a handful of rivets. Now, to be fair, our swan has a far greater chance of falling to pieces due to the simple fact that there... continue...
As guys, we have a hard enough time picking out a gift that’s not something we discretely want for ourselves let alone a card that displays our “emotions.” Instead of giving some canned card with a generic message whip out some of those... continue...
Your arsenal of card tricks may only include duping a drunken buddy into a game of 52-Card Pickup, but the second your deck of Fantastique Playing Cards arrives you’ll automatically have something impressive to show your friends. Inspired by the... continue...
When we were young we played War, Go Fish, and a slew of other simple card games to pass the time. Our brains weren’t always in the mood for arranging Scrabble tiles or being the Monopoly banker. Now that we’re older, the games haven’t... continue...
