Gift giving for men is undoubtedly one of the single most nebulous and daunting tasks of the holiday season. Will he like this shirt? Probably not. Is it weird to buy him cologne? Yes. Will he actually carry this man purse?? Please…
Why can’t I just buy him beer?!?!
So I set out to debunk the curious art of gifting for men.
TA-DA!!!
In the interest of full disclosure, I had to crowd source this post, given the fact that I am perpetually single (possibly a testament to my propensity toward turbans, excessive denim and fur).
When asked “what do men actually want for Christmas,” here is what my sources had to say:
My Dad: Knives.
Ex-boyfriend: Kitchen appliances.
Friend: Guns and beer.
So, this is what I had to work with.
With that, let’s start out with something for the classy gent in your life:
Brass Wallet $102. This will look great on Wall Street!
Something for your knife-toting, gun slinging fellow (my apologies if this is your boyfriend… at least mine’s just my dad):
Pocket Knife with Chain $68
For the coffee drinking man (who also secretly covets a mustache…):
Reusable Coffee Sleeve $10
… and perhaps also really likes technology!
Coffee Cup Inverter with USB Charging Port (whatever the hell that means) $29.99
For the rockstar in your life (who I sincerely hope is your boyfriend…):
Beats by Dr. Dre Studio Limited Edition Headphones from Monster $299.95
For the fancy schmancy sophisticated man:
Tom Ford Bow Tie $220
For the fattie health-nut in your life:
The Fit Bit! Count your steps and your calories. A not-so-subtle hint to the man who should start taking note. $99.95
For the huge nerd technologically savvy man:
iPhone pinball! For iPod or iPad. $34.99. The surefire way to end his social life! PERMANENTLY!
And of course… for your man… for every man… a wardrobe staple… the evolution of the classic underpinning…
THE MANTY!!!!!!!
2xist $16. This is my boyfriend. NBD…
iPhone pinball!! Sweet!! Have a successful holiday season!
Thank you, I have just been looking for information about this subject for a long time and yours is the best I’ve found out so far. However, what concerning the conclusion? Are you positive about the supply?|What i don’t realize is in truth how you’re not really a lot more smartly-favored than you might be right now. You’re very intelligent.
You know, I’ve been wondering the same thing!! Thanks for your comment, and best of luck with your gifting this year!
