I first discovered the Man Tin about a year ago. I found it on line and thought what a good present it would be for my husband. He is constantly leaving bits and bobs around the house and it would be great to have a place to stash them all.
When his birthday arrived I forgot about the tin until it was too late. It is one of those things that I was meaning to get but then forgot about.
When I was asked if I would like to review a Man Tin From Presents For Men the timing was perfect. It was just before Father’s Day and ever since we moved house I have been finding tie wraps, screws and lots of other bits of tat lying around. I couldn’t wait for the tim to arrive! I think this present might be more for me than Michael!
The tin is a great size. Plenty big enough for lots of tat but small enough so it can be stored in various places.
At the moment Michael’s is on our bedroom windowsill and it makes me smile every time I see it. 🙂
I am sure a long suffering wife came up with this idea! 🙂
Michael also finds it useful as whenever he has lost something he can usually find it in there. He no longer has to work out where I have tidied his pride and joy tat away too.
I also have a Man Tin to give away. If you are constantly finding your husbands tat around and need some help I have the answer! If you are a man who is sick of losing his tat this is for you!
There are many ways to enter using the Rafflecopter below. Good luck!
