Tonight is Men’s Shopping Night: Cigars and Fire Pit Included!
Well tonight is the night! It is one of the most fun nights of the year for our stores - which is ironic because it is for the men to come shop. I mean women are welcome to stop by Men’s Night at The Shoe Hive, but there’s just lots of cigar smoking and beer drinking in the courtyard. Oh, and bratwurst. Lots and lots of brats and potato chips.
If there is something you have been eyeing at either of the stores you really should mention it to the man in your life, who may be clueless as to what to get you this holiday season. Most men hate shopping, but this night makes it easy. And it’s even easier if you have filled out a wish list, Even if you haven’t yet: give us a ring, send an email, or just message us on Instagram and we can help you fill it out. We’ll know what to reference if someone is shopping for you.
Some of the men who come to Men’s Night never even make it inside. I tell my favorite men’s night story every year. A friend of mine gave me his credit card and a budget for his wife and daughter. They both had lists, so I asked if he wanted to pick what they got, or see the items on the list before we picked them off the shelves and wrapped them. He laughed and refused, replying, “Someone in our house should be surprised on Christmas morning and so why shouldn’t it be me?” I laugh every time I tell this story.
While we wrap up the gifts the men mingle and have a cocktail and some food. It doesn’t get easier than that. There are some brave men who make it inside and even like to pick out a gift on their own. I will admit, those gifts rarely come back, either.
I hope you will send some men our way this evening. It is always a great night. And also don’t forget about our shopping night at Yellow Jacket on Thursday. Come by and meet Conor from Sid Mashburn and he can help pick out the perfect gift for the man in your life. He will be there Friday morning as well.
