Internet Gift Retailing Finalist

Arizona entrepreneur Bill Acorn was frustrated with the Internet shopping experience, particularly when it came to the lack of options available for men of taste.
"Affluent males desire unique goods and services of exceptional quality and value," says Acorn. "I got tired of spending hours wandering the Web, searching for the best-designed Dopp kit, the most luxurious linens, the one corkscrew with just the right heft, look and functionality. What I really wanted was one site where I could find a collection of products that were prescreened for taste, quality and value, and backed with 100-percent guaranteed service. I couldn't find such a site, so I created it."
The resulting website is oakstreetman. com, a site launched in 2009 and dedicated to the things that interest Acorn most: entertaining, grooming, sports and more. Each category also features a professional who lends his expertise in selecting and creating the best for the site. The authorities also share the thinking behind their choices, and provide advice and tips on related topics.
"OakStreet Man is a reflection of my taste and expectation of quality, and that of the recognized experts I have the pleasure of consulting with," says Acorn.
With the tagline "Exceptional Gifts for the Uncompromising Man," OakStreet Man features products from Art of Shaving, Riedel, Matouk, Waterford, Laguiole, ThornWillow and more. Gift packages are created according to interests; for example, "The Wine-Lover Dad Set," the "Kitchen Essentials Package," or the "Pub Essentials Package."
For the man who's starting over in life, OakStreet Man also offers the "OakStreet Man Divorce Recovery Kit," the "ideal solution to instantly creating a new home that is comfortable as well as comforting," which features more than 60 products for bed and bath, kitchen, bar and grooming.
And for the man who has everything, OakStreet Man offers the ultimate Dopp kit: a custom made, hand-built, two-tone leather stunner. Made of Italian boot leather, tanned for toughness and trimmed with bridle belting leather, an oldschool English saddle material not seen since the 1960s. The Dopp kit is shipped with a set of fine German Niegeloh premium grooming tools - 2 nail clippers, 2 scissors, tweezer and nail file, and retails for $625.
"Aff luent males desire unique goods and services of exceptional quality and value," says Acorn. "We're creating an Internet shopping experience that will simplify their search and reward them with the best of the best."
