Personalized Leather Gifts For A Grad Or Dad

Graduation gifts for guys are hard. Or maybe I am the only one who thinks so, but I struggle. I also struggle with Father’s Day. Even though my dad and husband have never met a quarter zip they didn’t like, once in a while I want to find something different.

Well, I have to tell you, I have found the perfect gift. It isn’t even one thing. It is an entire brand that makes personalized leather goods, Clayton & Crume. I have gifted a few sets of Rocks Glasses and Flasks and they were a huge hit. But there is more than just drinkware. (For the record, my friend Tricia said I am not allowed to give a flask as a graduation gift, but I might still do it.) There are journals, sunglass straps, key chains, coasters, desk pads, iPhone cases, koozies, and watch straps. But since I can’t do the flasks for high school grads (perfect for college grads, though) my go-to gift is going to be the Kentucky belt.

It is the coolest gift and I know it will last forever. This handmade stitched leather belt can be ordered in different sizes and colors, the buckle is solid brass and then there is a nameplate that can hold up to 18 characters. Perfect for a nickname or initials.

I will admit I was drawn to the brand initially because it is all made in Kentucky. My mom was born and raised in the Bluegrass state, so I have a soft spot for all things Kentucky (except Bourbon). But after a year of carrying the line, I have been so impressed with the quality.

We are hosting our first Clayton and Crume event starting this Thursday, June 2 through Sunday, June 5. Get all your dads and grads taken care of and receive 20 percent off your order!
