Gifts for Men - Coach House Forge

What to buy for the men in your life.

MEN! Even if you are a man you know that buying gifts for men can often be tricky. Socks, ties, cufflinks, lighters, BBQ tongs… yeah, it’s an exciting world. You’ve started to scrape the bottom of the barrel when you’re buying novelty aprons! Don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place. We have some gorgeous personalised gifts for you that will bring smiles to the faces of the men in your life.

We know, at Coach House Forge, that metal gifts, especially ones that are made of steel in the fire of a forge have a reassuring weight to them. A special weight, a weight of quality that you know is long-lasting. We make items to last a loooooong time, we like to think that we make coveted family heirlooms!

Take a look at our CHF gift-guide below for our top gifts for men!

Dragon Pokers and Bottle Openers!

Whether the man you’re buying for is really into that latest fantasy TV show or is Welsh, the dragon is a spectacular creature. And as they’re fire breathing, they are a natural friend of the blacksmith – I think sometimes blacksmiths must think they’re dragon whisperers.

Each dragon is completely unique as they are hand crafted out of red-hot metal using traditional methods and tools plus a lot of skill.

We make dragon poker, with or without a stand to pop it in.

AND, we have a substantial decorative and fully functional bottle opener. You can collect your own family of dragons from our forge.

ALSO add some personalisation to the poker and stand to make it truly unique.

“Bought on a whim as I can’t leave dragons captive. They have to be free. Love these little fellows, hasn’t told me it’s name yet but i think it’s a girl, whispered quietly, i maybe wrong and don’t want to upset it. Everyone knows dragons are ‘touchy’, don’t they? I love this dragon. Con’t put it down.”

Scroll Pokers

If Dragons are a bit much to handle we make a selection of scroll pokers with an classic and elegant decorative ‘barley’ twist. Perfect for open fires, woodburning stoves and fire pits.
