Hilarious Tees For Dogs With a Sense of Humor

Whether you put tees on pets to make a statement or get a reaction, puns go a long way even on four paws.

Whether you put tees on pets to make a statement or get a reaction, puns go a long way even on four paws. I was giggling at these howliday sentiments perfect for pup owners with a healthy sense of humor. Sure, they're only technically good once a year but they'd make a cute alternative to a full-fledged Santa costume.

Gift Ideas For the Men in Your Life

You've got 10 days to go (nine shopping days, really) to find the perfect gift, or just a very nice one, for the man in your life, so today we're going to be on Twitter at 3 p.m.

You've got 10 days to go (nine shopping days, really) to find the perfect gift, or just a very nice one, for the man in your life, so today we're going to be on Twitter at 3 p.m. EST/12 p.m. PST answering your last-minute questions. You can tweet them to @TresSugar. We already suggested a few ideas for new boyfriends, told you how to be best gifter ever in the holiday spirit of competition, and got advice from a dating expert who said never outgift a man.



Well that gets us off the hook, but not entirely. To get your mind in gifting mode, here are few suggestions that are not too late to buy.


  • Whiskey Stones: These whiskey stones ($20) will keep alcohol cold without watering it down, which could be a very good or bad thing.
  • Sh*t My Dad Says: If he loved the blog, he should at least like the book ($6.50).
  • Knife Holder: Whimsical at best, red flag at worst, this designer knife holder ($158) serves a purpose and starts conversations.
  • Twist Espresso Maker: Perfect for the coffee lover, this portable espresso maker ($149) can do things that are illegal at Starbucks.
  • Case Crown 3GS iPhone Case: I love this iPhone case ($28), it's vintage-looking and made of real wood.
  • Book Resting Lamp: OK, this might not be the most manly thing on the list, but I could totally see a book-loving guy using this lamp ($80). It saves his page and mood-lights his room.
  • V-Moda Vibrato Earphones: I have to thank Geek for this idea, these noise-canceling earbuds ($130) double as a hands-free headset for chatting.

So tweet @TresSugar with your specific questions at at 3 p.m. EST/12 p.m. PST!

Holiday

Not Made of Sugar or Spice, These Toys Are Still Everything Nice

After many hours spent baking over the weekend, if I never see another cookie cutter again, it will be too soon.


After many hours spent baking over the weekend, if I never see another cookie cutter again, it will be too soon. Lucky for me, these cute gingerbread men need no mixing or frosting and still satisfy a sweet spot. Spoil your good little boy with some no-sugar-added toys to chomp while you're in the kitchen making the real thing or spice up his toy box regardless of your baking prowess.

Pet Lover Presents: I Can't Get Enough Boston Terriers!

I always take note of things I spot with a smooshy up front, but I rarely purchase them (unless I'm in a gas station in Florida).
Boston Terrier Gift Ideas

I always take note of things I spot with a smooshy up front, but I rarely purchase them (unless I'm in a gas station in Florida). Still, I'm happily surprised to find several items that I'd be proud to pick up or get as a present. Naturally, as my lil North is a Boston Terrier, this I Can't Get Enough gifting series will kick off with his breed. A lil something for everyone, hopefully my pals can take a hint (wink wink).
