The UrbanDaddy Dallas Holiday Gift Guide

Exchanging holiday gifts is a time-honored tradition that speaks volumes of both the gifter and the giftee. So... that’s daunting. But to point you in the right direction, we found a few winners to rig things in your favor.

Cedar + Walnut Lunch Box
FOR THE WORKING MAN

Cedar + Walnut Lunch Box

Maybe you bring your lunch to work. Or maybe you don’t because you’ve never had an adequate receptacle for protecting your celery-salt-seasoned lobster roll and juice box from the hazards of the day. Well, now you do. It’s this sturdy cedar-and-walnut-wood lunch box with a metal buckle. Watch for splinters.

$55, available at Pebble + Pine, 408 N Bishop Ave, Ste 104, 214-942-4653

Map of Dallas County (1884)
FOR THE LOST

Map of Dallas County (1884)

Sure, your map-loving dad/uncle/whoever else knows what Dallas looks like now, but how about 129 years ago... That’s what we thought. No matter, because here’s a map of Dallas County circa 1884. It comes in a frame and goes on the wall and that’s about it.

Cashmere Gloves
FOR THE... YOU

Cashmere Gloves

You can’t just ignore your own wants and needs during this holiday season. And in the event your wants and needs include incredibly dapper cashmere-and-leather gloves from Brunello Cucinelli, well, then you’re in luck. Warm fingers tie better bows.

Dean Fearing BBQ Spice Seasoning
FOR THE KEEPER OF THE FLAME

Dean Fearing BBQ Spice Seasoning

This year, all you really want is for someone to cook you a perfectly seasoned rack of ribs. So you’d better start dropping hints. This chili-and-hickory-smoke barbecue rub from Dean Fearing should do the trick. Hey, it’s cheaper than a grill.

$7, available at Canyon Foods, 11035 Switzer Ave, 214-352-1771

No.3B Necklace by Iacoli & McAllister
FOR THE FEMALE SIBLING

No.3B Necklace by Iacoli & McAllister

It’s not that your sister’s hard to shop for, it’s just that... no, wait, that’s it exactly. So here’s a leg up. TenOverSix has minimalist, powder-coated brass pendants that look good and get the job done without jeopardizing your vacation fund. And isn’t that what giving’s all about...

$65, available at TenOverSix, 1511 Commerce St, 214-261-4535
