Ipsy is a mothly subscription service that is very popular for girls who like having more than option. For $10 a month, subscribers will receive a Glam Bag each month that is customized to their liking. Bags include makeup, lotions, and jewelry. The great part is by getting the monthly plan, you can cancel at anytime. Or if you’re not afraid of commitment, they offer a yearly subscription of 12 bags for the price of 11 ($110). Either way, it’s a solid deal.

Ballin’ on a Budget
All guys love a great flask ! They can be found just about anywhere and are relatively cheap. Flasks are very masculine and are great to use socially. They can even be monogrammed for a personal touch. This is a fun accessory for the guy who wants to enjoy a night out with his friends.
Budget Conscious
A man will always need a good watch. They are timeless (no pun intended), sophisticated, and come in different bands. Watches are a plus for the guy who is looking to start his future job soon. They can easily give off a very business-like appearance and many can go from “day at work” to “night on the town.” I picked one from Target that has some durability and is stylish, but you can find a watch anywhere that will impress him.
What Budget ?
Time to prep for the future. Any guy would appreciate a leather briefcase. They are great for organizing important documents and also serve as a great accessory to a sharp suit. Briefcases are also a staple in the business world and are sure to last for many years.
