Exercises for Gentlemen
50 Exercises to do with your Suit on
$18.95

Drawn from The School of Health, a forgotten classic of the early 1900s, Exercises for Gentlemen offers up excerpts and illustrations from the original physical fitness course. The result is an an entertaining glimpse of times gone by, and an exercise regime ideally suited to the modern man with neither the time nor the inclination to change clothes when he steps out from the busy office.

A daily regime of a mere fifteen minutes of be-suited exercise is guaranteed to "reduce undue fullness at the waist, square the shoulders, round out the arms, improve leg development, and, in short, make a more graceful, strong, and symmetrical man."

$14.75

Read by presidents, scientists, and national heroes, the Boy Scouts Handbook has been used by generations of youths.

But more than just a guide to outdoor life, the handbook also offers timeless observations on politeness, patriotism, and good citizenship.

XYZ Blocks $35
the alternative to ABC

Have your alphabet blocks been around the block? A is for Apple, B is for Boring, Z is for ZZZ… Fred & Friends offers a different perspective on the ABCs of modern life with beautifully crafted wooden XYZ Blocks.

They have all the traditional play value you expect, plus a few chuckles. Traditional ABC blocks just don’t stack up to Fred’s twist on the old classic.

XYZ Blocks are packed in a durable wooden storage tray, protected by a clear recyclable plastic box.
